Background JOB DESCRIPTION

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.

Economic empowerment is a key priority for UN Women. UN Women works with governments and partners to promote women’s economic empowerment and increase their access to economic opportunities and outcomes, especially for those who are most excluded, including women migrant workers.

UN Women has long championed the rights of migrant women, addressing structural barriers and gender inequalities. The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, adopted by UN Member States in 2018, recognizes gender equality and women’s empowerment as central to migration governance. UN Women supports the advancement of migrant women’s human and labour rights, promotes their protection throughout all stages of migration and advances a human rights-based, gender responsive approach to migration governance and the implementation of the Global Compact.

Since 2019, UN Women has implemented the Making Migration Safe for Women programme to strengthen the protection of migrant women’s rights and promote gender-responsive migration governance at national, regional and global levels. Building on earlier phases implemented in Niger (Phase I) and Ethiopia and South Africa (Phase II), the programme expanded to Senegal and the wider West Africa region in January 2026.

The programme is supported by the Governments of Germany and Switzerland and seeks to ensure that migration is safe for women, while strengthening international norms and standards for the protection and promotion of migrant women’s rights.

Reporting to the Making Migration Safe for Women Global Coordinator, the Programme Analyst contributes to the effective management of UN Women programmes, with a focus on the Making Migration Safe for Women programme at the global level, by providing substantive inputs to programme design, formulation, implementation and evaluation. The Programme Analyst guides and facilitates the delivery of UN Women programmes by monitoring results achieved during implementation and ensuring appropriate application of systems and procedures and develops enhancements if necessary.

The Programme Analyst works in close collaboration with the programme country and operations team, UN Women HQ personnel, Government officials, other UN entities, inter-agency coordination mechanisms and processes, including the UN Network on Migration, multi and bi-lateral donors and civil society ensuring successful UN Women programme implementation under portfolio.
