PARTNERSHIPS ANALYST

Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, UN Women 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.
Placing women's rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women is responsible for leading and coordinating efforts of the UN system to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world, providing strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States' priorities and efforts and building effective partnerships with civil society and other stakeholders.
UN Women’s Strategic Partnerships Division (SPD) is responsible for proactively driving the strategic positioning of UN Women so that the size, sources and predictability of its resources support the organization in achieving its strategic goals.
UN Women’s Strategic Plan (SP) for 2011-2013 requires that UN Women enhance its capacity to meet demand and seize opportunities. The significant rise in financial resources has a direct impact on the multiple processes surrounding donor relations, while the SP also requires an expansion of the range of contributions (e.g. from non-traditional donors and other innovative partnerships). Early projections for UN Women resources critically increase related obligations; and efforts to maintain and strengthen its existing donor relationships and innovative partnerships will also need to be increased.
The private sector globally is growing in importance not only as a funding partner, but as a key driver of development, an implementer of corporate responsibility initiatives, and a collaborator with the UN to advance UN goals, including the advancement and empowerment of women. In this context, and building on the momentum created by the Women’s Empowerment Principles—Equality Means Business partnership initiative with the UN Global Compact, the Partnerships Analyst will strengthen this and other distinctive efforts of UN Women to engage the private sector to promote gender equality and support the mandate and work of the organization.
The Partnerships Analyst will support the efforts of the Resource Mobilization Director and the Resource Mobilization and Partnerships team as a whole, in developing, implementing and sustaining long-term and multi-dimensional private sector partnerships that advance UN Women’s position and raise its profile and ability to attract resources, including through the Women’s Empowerment Principles – Equality Means Business partnership.
Within SPD, the Partnerships Analyst strengthens capacity at HQ by ensuring improved efficiency and coherence in support of UN Women’s outreach and business development strategies, including the forthcoming strategy on non-traditional donor (i.e. business, private sector and individual) engagement and resource mobilization, as well as targets in the SP related to the Women’s Empowerment Principles initiative.
