Under the direct supervision of the Representative, and the functional supervision of the Humanitarian Coordinator. The incumbent facilitates the rapid implementation of UNFPA´s multi-sectoral GBV interventions in Cameroon and strengthens the coordination of the GBV sub-sector working group. S/he will work in close collaboration with WCARO’s GBViE Specialists to ensure proper integration of GBV in the UNFPA national and regional responses.

Cameroon is today affected by two concurrent, complex humanitarian crises: Boko Haram violence in the Far North region and growing humanitarian needs due to the conflict in the Northwest (NW) and Southwest (SW) regions of Cameroon. Humanitarian challenges are reinforced by structural factors and chronic vulnerabilities that hinder the long-term recovery of affected people.

The GBViE Specialist will make good use of tools such as IASC’s Guidelines for Integrating Gender-based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Action – Reducing Risk, Promoting Resilience, and Aiding Recovery, the GBV Area of Responsibility’s GBV Coordination Handbook, UNFPA’s Managing GBV Programmes in Emergencies Guide and Minimum Standards for Addressing GBV in Emergencies – to facilitate planning, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of inter-agency GBV initiatives.
