In the WPS domain, UN Women is working at macro, miso and micro level. At the macro level of peace processes, UN Women is supporting the women movement to hold accountable to gender equality and empowerment of women in the peace domain. At the miso level, UN Women supports the strengthening of institutional and technical capacity of women’s organizations and governments in relation to human rights and the rule of law, including transitional justice and the security sector. At the micro level, UN Women is working with women peace builders’ organizations at community level to strengthen the women led peace movement and develop a common agenda for peace through a bottom-up approach.

Reporting to the Country Representative, the WPS Specialist exercises overall responsibility for planning, implementing, and managing UN Women interventions under the WPS portfolio. She/he should work in close collaboration with the programme and operations team, UN Women regional office and HQ staff, Government officials, multi and bi-lateral donors and civil society ensuring successful UN Women programme implementation under the WPS.
