GBV Information Management Associate до UNFPA

In 2025, UNFPA Ukraine launched its 4th Country Programme (CPD 2025–2029), which is aligned with the UNFPA Strategic Plan and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for Ukraine. The CPD focuses on four key outcomes: improving access to quality sexual and reproductive health services, promoting gender equality and preventing gender-based violence, empowering young people, and strengthening population data and demographic resilience. It is designed to respond to the challenges of war, displacement, and recovery, while laying the foundation for long-term, sustainable development.

The full-scale invasion in Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, has caused civilian casualties and the destruction of vital infrastructure, forcing millions of people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection, and assistance. Moreover, the war continues to increase the risks of GBV, with around 2.4 million people needing GBV services in 2025. UNFPA leads the coordination of the inter-agency Gender-Based Violence Area of Responsibility (GBV AoR) in Ukraine. The AoR ensures the timely delivery of GBV prevention and response services across the country; enhances the capacity of GBV actors, particularly local and national actors, to uphold GBV minimum standards; facilitates ethical information sharing and best practices; and promotes collective interagency actions to prevent and respond to GBV.
