Job Title: INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANT- DEVELOP KENYA COUNTRY PROGRAMME
Location : Nairobi, KENYA
Type of Contract : Individual Contract
Post Level : International Consultant
Languages Required : English
Duration of Initial Contract : 30 Days
Expected Duration of Assignment : 30 Days
Background
The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women) was established by General Assembly resolution 64/289 of 2 July 2010 on system-wide coherence, with the mandate to assist countries and the United Nations system itself to progress more effectively and efficiently toward the goal of achieving gender equality, women’s empowerment and upholding women’s rights. This strategic plan, developed pursuant to paragraph 77 of resolution 64/2892 is the first such plan created by UN-Women. The plan lays out the organization’s priorities for achieving this goal up to 2017, and which it will assess and revise in 2013, in order to align it with the planning cycles of other United Nations agencies. The UN-Women vision is a world where societies are free of gender-based discrimination, where women and men have equal opportunities, where the comprehensive economic and social development of women and girls is ensured so that they can lead the change that they want to see, where gender equality and women’s empowerment are achieved, and women’s rights are upheld in all efforts to further development, human rights, peace and security.
The mission statement of UN-Women was set out in the proposal of the Secretary- General as follows: “Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, the composite entity will work 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. Placing women’s rights at the center of all its efforts, the composite entity will lead and coordinate United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It will provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.” To operationalize the global strategy at the national level, UN Women Kenya is developing a new country programme document for 2014 – 2017.

In Africa there are two new ROs which need to be established. These are: 1) West and Central Africa Regional Office (WCARO) to be located in Dakar, Senegal, and 2) Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO) located in Nairobi, Kenya. Both these new ROs will be built upon the existing UN Women capacity in both locations, namely the former West Africa Sub-Regional Office (WARO) in Dakar and the former East and Horn of Africa Sub-Regional Office (EHARO) in Nairobi. Simultaneously, existing country offices will have their capacities strengthened to manage increased delegation of authority. The mandate of the Regional Office will include the provision of substantial and substantive oversight for the implementation of the delegation of authority to country offices in 2013.
In late November 2012, headquarters conducted a functional analysis (FA) of EHARO that covered staffing composition and capacities as well as resources. The exercise was insightful and productive and agreement was obtained to carry out a similar – but expanded – exercise at country office level. In this regard the Regional Office will conduct seven FA exercises for country offices to enable them to better organize and position themselves for delegation of authority and also to address critical staff/management relations through a participatory and empowering process.
Therefore, the purpose of the FA missions is to work with the existing country offices to develop necessary elements to allow implementation of changes leading to the implementation of delegation of authority and to undertake a capacity assessment. These elements include an implementation plan that allows those changes in a manner which is timely, while also being prudent and minimizing risks, including risks to business continuity.

Simultaneously, existing country offices will have their capacities strengthened to manage increased delegation of authority. The mandate of the Regional Office will include the provision of substantial and substantive oversight for the implementation of the delegation of authority to country offices in 2013.
In late November 2012, headquarters conducted a functional analysis (FA) of EHARO that covered staffing composition and capacities as well as resources. The exercise was insightful and productive and agreement was obtained to carry out a similar – but expanded – exercise at country office level. In this regard the Regional Office will conduct seven FA exercises for country offices to enable them to better organize and position themselves for delegation of authority and also to address critical staff/management relations through a participatory and empowering process.
Therefore, the purpose of the FA missions is to work with the existing country offices to develop necessary elements to allow implementation of changes leading to the implementation of delegation of authority and to undertake a capacity assessment. These elements include an implementation plan that allows those changes in a manner which is timely, while also being prudent and minimizing risks, including risks to business continuity. The missions will also address staff relations and prepare staff for organizational changes that will serve to enrich staff relations.
Objective
The purpose of the FA exercise is to align the functions of the countries offices in line with corporate functional analysis and country priorities and budget. The purpose of functional analysis is also to determine preparedness for the delegation of authority to country level offices and undertake a staff capacity needs assessment. The Functional Analysis will draw on the Final Functional Analysis of the UN Women Policy and Programme Bureau (July 2012). The Regional Office has successfully completed this exercise for Sudan, South Sudan, and Kenya and aims to carry out the functional analysis for the remaining countries in the region i.e. Mozambique, Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Ethiopia and Burundi. The office requires the services of a consultant for analyzing the capacity needs in terms of functions and leadership skills of the office(s) and preparing an action plan to meet these needs. In addition, the consultant will be responsible for individual and group coaching sessions and presentations, as required during the functional analysis meetings

National Consultant Job Vacancy at Pact in Nairobi
Job Title: NATIONAL CONSULTANT: ASSESMENT OF WOMEN BUSINESS LANDSCAPE
Location : Nairobi, KENYA
Type of Contract : Individual Contract
Post Level : National Consultant
Languages Required : English
Expected Duration of Assignment : 20 Working Days
Background
The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) is the UN organization dedicated to gender equality and was established in 2011 to accelerate the attainment of the rights of women globally. UN Women stands behind women’s equal participation in all aspects of life and is mandated to support UN Member States to apply global standards for achieving gender equality, and works with governments and the civil society to design and develop laws, policies, programmes and services needed to implement these standards. UN Women is further expected to provide leadership in enhancing and coordinating the accountability of the United Nations system in its work on gender equality and women empowerment. It is in this spirit that UN Women, and the Rome-based UN agencies (FAO, IFAD and WFP) are mandated to spearhead a comprehensive UN system approach and response through joint actions to support rural women’s economic empowerment in the region, and indeed globally. The priority areas of focus for UN Women include: enhancing women’s leadership and participation; ending violence against women; and to champion women’s economic empowerment.
Furthermore, longstanding and persistent gender inequalities in accessing economic resources and services by the majority of women in Africa has directly resulted in poorer human development outcomes and productivity, particularly for women in agriculture, where up to 86 percent of rural women and men are engaged. Various studies have shown that improving the entrepreneurial capacity of women and providing women farmers with the same quantity and quality of inputs that men receive typically has the potential to increase national agricultural output and incomes by an estimated 20% (World Bank, 2005).
It is in this context that the UN Women Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO) has designed a Women Economic Empowerment (WEE) programme, to advance solutions aimed at significantly elevating women’s rights and contribution to the national economic priorities of wealth creation, employment and growth. Accordingly, the Women’s Economic Empowerment programme for ESARO region is premised on a strategy to develop the entrepreneurial and leadership capacities of women and youth; and to link them to innovative business models (value chains and innovative technology) and formal services (mainly financial), in collaboration with strategic partners, and as a pathway for them to effectively participate in gainful economic activities and opportunities. In view of the agrarian nature and rural structure of the most African economies, and the central role agriculture plays in determining human development outcomes in the region, UN Women expects that this strategy will also bring women and youth to the forefront in the process of agricultural transformation and commercialization, across specific agro-processing, industry and trade value chains.
UN Women considers strategic partnerships as key enabler in the implementation of its WEE programme. UN Women has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Equity Group Foundation to strengthen collaboration in the areas of capacity development and training for women entrepreneurs, development of appropriate financial products and support to the implementation of the Women Economic Empowerment programme.
Equity Group Foundation [EGF] was established in 2006 in recognition of the need to scale up the existing corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives by the Equity Bank Group.

The Foundation’s aim is to catalyze the socio-economic prosperity of the people of Africa by giving opportunity to the millions at the bottom of the pyramid to be incorporated into the modern economy.

UN Women to achieve this goal through mainstreaming and investing in women as the key economic agents, and by facilitating an enabling environment that supports the full integration and inclusive participation of women at all levels of the sectors driving economic growth in the region.
