Job Description

Background
In 2010, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution that established the roadmap for achieving the vision of ICPD beyond 2014. The resolution mandates that UNFPA – in cooperation with relevant UN agencies, international organizations, institutions and experts – undertake an operational review of the implementation of the Programme of Action (PoA) on the basis of the highest-quality data and analysis of the state of population and development, taking into account the need for a systematic, comprehensive and integrated approach to population and development issues”. A major source of data and information for the operational review will derive from reviews to be undertaken by governments. The outcomes of the review will be discussed at by the 47th session of the Commission on Population and Development in 2014 and the UN General Assembly special session (UNGASS).
A Country Coordinating Team composed of 8 members and a Task Force composed of not more than 25 members chaired by POPSEC will be put in place to guide and advice on the process.
UNFPA seeks to identify and select three (3) independent Consultants with a background/experience in Population and Development, Reproductive Health/HIV/AIDS and Gender to facilitate the review process.
The Consultants will work closely with the Coordinating Team and Task Force to ensure that the required information is collected and documented in an efficient and effective manner.
