Background
ย Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP:ย we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a โleave no one behindโ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.

Following mounting reports of conflict-related sexual violence in Ukraine, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict (SRSG-SVC) travelled to Kyiv on 2 May 2022. As a result, a Framework of Cooperation (FoC) on the prevention and response to conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) was signed by SRSG-SVC, on behalf of the United Nations system, with Ukraineโs Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic integration, Ms. Olha Stefanishyna, signing on behalf of the Government.
The Office of the Government Commissioner for Gender Equality Policy and members of the Interdepartmental Working Group on combating sexual violence are implementing the Action Plan with a focus on five critical areas: (i) trafficking in persons for the purpose of sexual exploitation, (ii) provision of comprehensive assistance to survivors of conflict-related sexual violence, (iii) access to justice and accountability, (iv) strengthening the capacity of the security and defence sector to prevent and address CRSV, and (iv) reparations and compensation. The Office of the SRSG-SVC co-chairs each of the inter-agency working groups dedicated to these themes together with UN agencies present in Ukraine.
While driving the plan forward in a volatile conflict-affected environment, the national authorities have sought strategic and technical support to coordinate and assist with the roll-out of the Implementation Plan. To bridge these gaps, the present project responds to this request, outlining the provision of technical support and expertise to Government institutions and relevant UN entities, which will work in collaboration with civil society organizations and first responders in implementing the FoC through: (i) policy development, (ii) training/awareness raising, and (iii) support to survivors.
