The expert will be based in Aden hub that serves as the main operational office while the other two sub-offices in Sana’a and Amman will provide additional support to the ongoing programmes, currently the country representative and the operations manager are based in Aden while other technical leads travel to Yemen on missions.
The request is grounded on the growing Yemen crisis needs and justified by the protracted humanitarian situation in the country that affects its communities and mostly the vulnerable groups including women & girls. Resource mobilization to fully fund the position, as well as others within the programme department is ongoing with a soft commitment indicated by a donor. The position will contribute to the CO efforts to mainstream gender across the UN collective response utilizing the humanitarian frameworks such HRP, HNO and other developmental tool including UNSCDF in Yemen in close coordination with the RCO.
