2 weeks ago

Johannesburg, South Africa UNFPA Full time

**The Position**

The Social Policy and Intergovernmental Affairs Adviser post is located at the UNFPA East and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO) and works under the overall direction and supervision of the Regional Director and direct supervision of the Deputy Regional Director. The Adviser will focus on facilitating and guiding UNFPA’s regional influencing and agenda-setting role in positioning sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights within relevant political and intergovernmental mechanisms across the development, humanitarian, and peace contexts in the region. The Adviser will also strengthen political scanning through tailored guidance and tools as may be required in collaboration with other UNFPA Regional Offices covering Africa, Country Offices, and the UNFPA Representation Office to the African Union (AU) and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). The incumbent will also collaborate with members of the ESARO team for effective
engagement with the AU and its organs as well as Regional Economic Communities of East African Community (ECA), and Southern African Development Community (SADC) to mention a few.

**Job Purpose**:
In line with the urgency for reinvigorated multilateralism in line with the UN Charter, the Regional Social Policy and Intergovernmental Affairs Adviser position will support the regional office management to advance intergovernmental, inter-agency, and multilateral processes required for the delivery of the regional programme delivery and strategic positioning of the ICPD Agenda with continental and regional bodies. In particular, the position will ensure political landscape analysis is available on the shifts and impact of the political economy on achieving the ICPD Programme of Action, in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Africa Union Agenda 2063, and Frameworks of Regional Economic Communities. This will guide engagements of the regional leadership with relevant African institutions in collaboration with UNFPA West and Central Africa and Arab States regional offices covering Africa and the UNFPA Representation Office to the African Union and UN Economic Commission for Africa. Guided by the prevailing and evolving landscape of population dynamics, including sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights in the region, the Adviser will ensure UNFPA leverages opportunities and mitigates risks in a timely manner, while also learning from the continued impact of megatrends, multiple threats, geopolitics and polycrises on constrained policy and resource environments. As may be required, the position will also support the regional office management in its contributions to the UN Regional reform aimed at strengthening the value proposition of the UN to member states and regional institutions, including the African Union Commission and its organs, and Regional Economic Commissions.
