Driver Jobs UN Women Abuja Nigeria Deadline 26 Sep. 2014
Background
The 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.
More than ten years after the passage of UN Security Council
resolution 1325, there is widespread concern that progress made at the
normative and policy levels has not been translated into significant
improvements in the lives of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict
countries. Both the United Nations and the European Union have committed to
closing this implementation gap. To address this, UN Women and UNICEF with
funding support from the European Union, will partner in a joint programme that
pilots a model for EU/UN collaboration on Women, Peace and Security matters in
three states of Northern Nigeria.
