Mission and objectives

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. UN Women Jordan Country Office supports the Government of Jordan to implement global norms and standards on gender equality and women’s empowerment. Under its Strategic Note for the period 2023-2027, the UN Women Jordan Country office promotes women’s economic empowerment, gender responsive governance and women’s political participation in alignment with the government of Jordan Triple Modernization Agenda; works to advance the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda including through the Jordan National Action Plan for Women, Peace and Security (JONAP); and implements a resilience and empowerment model for Syrian refugee women and vulnerable Jordanian women in camps and host communities in support of the Jordan Response Plan (JRP). Working across the humanitarian-peace-development nexus, the country office is implementing and is prioritizing coherence and interlinkages across its projects and programmes and across UN Women’s triple mandate of operational, coordination and normative work.

Context

Reporting directly to the Representative and under the technical guidance of the Programme Manager, the M&E and Accountability to Affected People (AAP) Officer will work in close collaboration with Monitoring and Evaluation Analyst, and all relevant staff to ensure that accountability is systematically integrated across all programming efforts. The AAP Analyst will play a pivotal role in providing technical advisory support and institutional capacity strengthening to the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD), particularly in light of its expanding role in the direct implementation of the OASIS programme at both the national and governorate levels. Currently, the AAP mechanism requires further development and institutionalization. Central to this approach is the principle of listening to affected populations as they articulate and address their own needs. The mechanism emphasizes participatory design and implementation, ensuring that communities are actively involved in shaping and rolling out their own solutions. The overarching objective is to empower affected individuals to lead their own preparedness, relief, and recovery processes. In doing so, the APP Officer will serve as primary advisors and accountability agents for UN Women and its partners, ensuring that services and assistance are delivered effectively and equitably. To reinforce this mechanism, the AAP Officer will support the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs), enhance awareness-raising materials, and promote the integration of participatory approaches throughout the programme cycle. This includes embedding accountability principles into the organizational culture of the UN Women Jordan Country Office. Furthermore, the AAP framework and tools developed under the OASIS programme are expected to be adapted and scaled across other UN Women programming in Jordan. Additionally, the AAP focal point will support monitoring and evaluation efforts across the humanitarian programme of UN Women in Jordan, including through data collection, data analysis and dissemination.
