Office/Unit Description
UNDP Myanmar is establishing a Civil Society Unit (CSU) as a dedicated structure to provide funding and capacity building and support coordination, networking and advocacy efforts among civil society actors. The CSU is structured in thematic sectors which include human rights, rule of law, access to justice, human rights, housing, land and property (HLP) rights and business and human rights, each with a national Coordinator. In addition, UNDP Myanmar is also setting up the Myanmar Development Observatory, an in-house think tank that will provide research, data analysis, and policy options in the three thematic pillars of Economy, SDGs, and Conflict.
UNDP is seeking a Gender and Social Inclusion Advisor to provide expert advice to UNDP’s Civil Society programme and in particular justice, HLP and human rights related activities in conflict-affected states. The role includes strengthening the integration of gender equality and social inclusion into UNDP’s programming with CSOs, including provision of technical advice and direct capacity building to CSOs and legal aid service providers during project implementation, and technical inputs into research and analysis initiatives in Myanmar.
The position will be based within the newly established Civil Society Unit (CSU) as a long-term technical advisor.
Institutional Arrangement
