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 Policy, Programme and Intergovernmental Division (PPID) drives UN Women's positioning as a global thought & practice leader on gender equality and women's empowerment to deliver on the SDGs by connecting and consolidating UN Women's knowledge and experience from across the field for normative policy advancements, facilitating substantive thematic coordination across the UN System, leading cutting-edge policy analysis based on data and evidence, and providing technical advice to support field programming for impact at scale.


The Economic Empowerment (EE) section in PPID contributes to UN Women's Strategic goals by promoting women's income security, decent work, and economic autonomy, in alignment with the 2030 Agenda and the principle of leaving no one behind.

It has been divided historically into three broad pillars:
Economic Institutions, Macroeconomics, and Sustainable Development.

The Economic Empowerment Section also provides thematic leadership and technical support to the Generation Equality Action Coalitions on Economic Justice and Rights and Feminist Action for Climate Justice.


Economic Empowerment's macroeconomics pillar engages in the development of global public goods including tools and guidelines and provides technical support and capacity development in gender-responsive macroeconomics, social protection systems and the care economy, and supports field offices with programme development to provide more relevant support to governments, civil society, development partners, private sector and international financial institutions.

Working in this area of focus, enables UN Women to engage in policy work to promote more inclusive growth, signpost exit routes from crises (i.e., economic, and financial crisis; food and fuel crises, etc), transform the care economy, and demonstrate how social protection can complement and support policies for poverty reduction.


Reporting to the Chief of Economic Empowerment, the Policy Advisor, Macroeconomics and Global Lead on Care will oversee the development of feminist macroeconomic and care policies and programmes, provide capacity building to regional and country offices, establish and strengthen partnerships, and develop relevant knowledge products.
