Individual International Consultant – Technical Support to Team Leader – Multi‑Country Situational Analysis for the Design of the UN Women WEE Pacific Programme
UNDPUN 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.
Background: 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. The Fiji Multi Country Office (MCO) covers 14 Pacific countries, with field offices/presence in 6 countries. Each field presence is led by a national Country Programme Coordinator. UN Women, in partnership with Pacific Islands Governments, regional organizations, CSOs, donors and UN agencies, focuses on delivering within four interlinked programme areas: - Ending Violence against Women and Girls (EVAWG); - Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE); - Gender and Protection in Humanitarian Action; and Disaster Risk Reduction - Governance and Participation in Public Life (GPPL) These four program areas are underpinned by UN Women’s normative and UN coordination efforts to strengthen accountability on normative commitments, better leverage UN system-wide strategies and actions and support gender equality and the empowerment of women in all their diversity. Women’s economic empowerment (WEE) is crucial to realizing women’s rights, reducing poverty, and achieving gender equality across the globe. When more women undertake paid work, economies expand through enhanced productivity, economic diversification, and income equality. If women’s earnings increase and become more stable, other areas of women’s lives also improve. They can afford health care, can pay for their children’s school fees, can economically support family during and after disaster and are more likely to play a leadership role in their communities. Women’s economic empowerment is therefore a win-win situation that can help not only women but also the community and society. While women are increasingly active in the economy, they are still overrepresented in the informal economy, more likely to be in low-wage or unpaid family employment, and more likely to be affected by an economic crisis, as well as climate and health emergencies. The Pacific still has the lowest global percentages of women in leadership roles, including the world’s lowest overall average of women in parliament. Under the UN Women Fiji MCO’s WEE program, the focus has been on supporting women in the informal sector in recognition of the fact that the majority of Pacific women are engaged in the informal sector in different capacities, including as informal employees in formal businesses, as own-account workers (including home-based workers), and as informal business owners (including contributing family workers). Historically, traditional gender norms and social structures have significantly disadvantaged women; creating gendered barriers to formalization and/or limiting their opportunities to enter (or remain) in formal employment. This means women tend to be engaged in low productivity businesses and jobs that require limited start-up capital and offer limited skill accumulation potential. Also, they are concentrated in areas that experience intense competition and generate lower returns. Women are also more likely to lack access to legal and social protections, which reinforces their vulnerabilities in times of disruption, such as natural and climate induced disasters or economic shocks. As at 2021, it was reported that women comprised 75-90 percent of market vendors in the Pacific, and in recognition of these significant presence in this space, UN Women Fiji MCO has been actively supporting improvements in the working conditions for women market vendors in Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu through its Markets for Change (M4C) Project, which is in the second phase of implementation (2022–2026), following the conclusion of the first phase (2014–2021). Supporting the economic participation and empowerment of women is key to driving positive change in their lives and communities and can positively impact upon women’s voice and agency in all spheres of development. It is also key to generating livelihood and employment opportunities, and to advancing national economies in the Pacific, where there are high levels of informality. UN Women recognizes that our work must address the intersections between women’s economic empowerment, women’s leadership and agency, and the resilience of individuals, households, communities and countries to different crises. With the M4C Project, UN Women has demonstrated how these spaces can be a platform through which the leadership and, voice of women can be built, to inform decision-making processes and strengthen government accountabilities, in addition to supporting WEE. In addition, in the context of COVID-19, these markets played a key role in promoting food access, and food security. M4C ensures that marketplaces in the rural and urban areas of these four Pacific Island countries are safe, inclusive and non-discriminatory and supportive of women engaged in small-scale businesses within these market spaces. The project supports the creation and strengthening of representative marketplace groups, which enhance the roles and influence of women market vendors. The project also focuses on boosting the financial literacy of vendors and market vendor associations and supports greater access to financial services, improved agricultural skills, and, in some cases, climate-smart agricultural production. M4C also works to strengthen the accountability and capacity of market management as well as municipal and provincial governments through the provision of training and technical support. This lays the groundwork for local governments to employ gender-responsive policies, procedures and decision-making processes that are receptive to the needs of market vendors, especially women. The project also has an infrastructure component, which focuses on improving onsite services at the design and construction phases to ensure that marketplaces are safe and more resilient to environmental shocks, such as extreme weather events.
