Job Title: Training developer consultant

Contract type: Consultancy

Closing date: 23 October 2022

Duration : 10 days

Duty Station: Remote-based assignment, supporting the Humanitarian Office in Geneva.

Purpose of consultancy:

UNFPA country offices are scaling up their cash and voucher assistance (CVA) and the number of countries using this approach is growing. Cash assistance is a tool that will be strengthened and expanded as a part of UNFPA and its partners’ GBV case management. In 2020 UNFPA’s executive management endorsed its Commitments to Scaling Up CVA which is high-quality and cost-effective to maximise results for women, girls and youth during crises, leaving no one behind. UNFPA uses CVA to contribute to the prevention and response to gender-based violence, self-reliance, access to sexual and reproductive health services, and social protection. All of these areas support UNFPA’s strategic goals of eliminating gender-based violence, maternal mortality, and the unmet need for family planning.

UNFPA CVA Team has developed a new Guidance Note as the result of its global experience that has the purpose of guiding and supporting UNFPA’s GBV and Cash teams in implementing and integrating cash assistance in GBV case management programming in a safe and efficient manner. Practical tools accompany some of the key process steps.
