UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.  

The Policy Programme and Intergovernmental Division (PPID) drives UN Women’s positioning as a global thought and practice leader on gender equality and women’s empowerment to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by:   

• Connecting and consolidating UN Women’s knowledge and experience from across the field for normative policy advancements,   

• Facilitating substantive thematic coordination across the UN System,  

• Leading cutting-edge policy analysis based on data and evidence, and   

• Providing technical advice to support field programming for impact at scale.  

PPID enables UN Women to function as a globally networked and matrixed development organization that is equipped to deliver results as part of a repositioned UN development system where they are most needed in the field, including across the Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus in protracted crises, conflict, post-conflict, humanitarian and disaster settings. 

Reporting to the Management Specialist/PPID Directorate, the Executive and Administrative Support Consultant is responsible for providing scheduling, logistical, internal communication and administrative support to the PPID Directorate.
