AlamatBackground
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.
In Indonesia, UN Women works with government, civil society organizations (CSOs), academia, the media, the public and private sectors to address national priorities of Gender Equality and women’s empowerment. Placing the advancement of women’s rights at the centre of our work, UN Women Indonesia focuses on (1) Ending violence against women, (2) Promoting women’s human rights, (3) Women’s economic empowerment, (4) Women contribute to and have greater influence in building sustainable peace.
As the specialized UN Agency on Gender Equality and the empowerment of women, UN Women in Indonesia is also working alongside other UN Agencies to ensure that commitments on Gender Equality and gender mainstreaming are translated into UN works and programmes to achieve Sustainable Development Goals across the country. UN Women programmes in Indonesia are guided by the Strategy Note 2021-2024, that is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) signed between the Minister of National Planning and the UN system in the country. In addition to programmatic interventions, UN Women has a triple mandate of normative support, UN coordination, and operational activities.
To comprehensively assess the ongoing developments in Gender Equality and women's empowerment in Indonesia and to ensure the availability of sufficient gender data to complement gender indices, the establishment of a Country Gender Equality Profile (CGEP) is imperative. The CGEP serves as a vital corporate tool, enhancing national-level knowledge and systems to monitor international, regional, and national commitments towards Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment (GEWE). Structured to align with UN Women's triple mandate, the CGEP is instrumental in three key areas: supporting strengthened global norms and standards, 2) promoting effective coordination, 3) coherence and commitment across the UN System towards Gender Equality. The CGEP will also support Indonesia in translating global norms and standards into national policies and actionable initiatives in line with UN Women Strategic Plan 2022-2025.
The Country Gender Equality Profile (CGEP) represents a standardized national evaluation of the Gender Equality landscape within a specific country, facilitated by UN Women. This assessment is recommended to be collaboratively undertaken with the government, operating within the framework of the UN Women Strategic Plan 2022-2025 and corresponding Strategic Note at the country level. In the case of Indonesia, the leadership role in executing the CGEP is led by UN Women.
Under the guidance and direct supervision of the UN Women Indonesia Programme Manager for Governance, Peace and Resilience, the National Consultant is expected to develop a Country Gender Equality Profile (CGEP) to inform the notable UN in Indonesia Common Country Analysis (CCA), the new United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF), and UN Women Strategic Note.
