UNIFEM: Job Vacancy for Campaign Manager, Oficial de Finanzas and Sub-national Gender Officer (SGO) (Ethiopia, Mexico, Afghanistan)

The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) was first established as the United Nations Voluntary Fund for the Decade for Women (UNVFDW) in the United Nations Secretariat by the UN General Assembly in 1976 (A/RES/31/133), immediately following the First World Conference on Women in Mexico City (1975). It was initially set up for the duration of the United Nations Decade for Women, 1975–85. UNIFEM focuses its activities on one overarching goal: to support the implementation at the national level of existing international commitments to advance gender equality. In support of this goal, UNIFEM works in the following thematic areas:

enhancing women’s economic security and rights,
ending violence against women,
reducing the prevalence of HIV and AIDS among women and girls, and
advancing gender justice in democratic governance in stable and fragile states.
