The Policy, Programme and Intergovernmental Division (PPID) develops and implements UN Women’s programme of work across its normative, coordination, and operational triple mandate and provides policy advice and guidance and technical support to intergovernmental processes, UN system, and UN Women regional and country offices, among other partners and stakeholders. The Division is organized in thematic sections, which undertake policy research; analyze data on country, regional and global trends; and propose evidence-based options for global policy, norms and standards as well as for UN Women’s policy advocacy and global programme strategies. The Division also undertakes substantive preparations for the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) and drafts reports on behalf of the Secretary-General on multiple topics. To support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) towards achieving gender equality and women’s economic empowerment by 2030 to benefit all women and girls, UN Women works in partnership with governments, multilateral organizations, the UN System, civil society organizations, feminist and women’s movements and the private sector.
Economic empowerment (EE) is one of the priority areas of UN Women. UN Women works with governments, civil society and other development partners to promote women’s income security, decent work, and economic autonomy. Under UN Women’s Strategic Plan (2022-2025), the Economic Empowerment section is undertaking three gender equality accelerators on Transforming the Care Economy, Women in the World of Work and Women’s Climate Action and Green/Blue Economies, as well as a hub on Sustainable Finance, and will continue to engage in normative, policy and coordination work in line with UN Women’s mandate, including the production of three biennial reports on behalf of the Secretary-General and involvement in numerous intergovernmental and interagency processes.
The Administrative Assistant is under the direct supervision of the Chief of the Economic Empowerment Section, and supports the Economic Empowerment section on administrative, human resources, procurement, travel, and documentation processes and procedures.

Note:
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Diversity and inclusion:
At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect. UN Women recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, national origin, or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, competence, integrity and organizational need.
If you need any reasonable accommodation to support your participation in the recruitment and selection process, please include this information in your application.
UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to UN Women’s policies and procedures and the standards of conduct expected of UN Women personnel and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. (Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check.)
