Community Volunteers for Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund.

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. Placing women’s rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

Sudanese women continue to show remarkable resilience and leadership through grassroots and women-led CSOs, providing humanitarian aid, documenting violations, and advocating for peace. Yet, these organizations face major institutional and technical gaps—weak financial systems, limited M&E capacity, and restricted access to decision-making—compounded by shrinking civic space and security risks.

Through the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF), UN Women supports women-led CSOs to strengthen their role in humanitarian action and peacebuilding. By investing in their organizational capacity and leadership, WPHF ensures that Sudanese women are not only beneficiaries but key actors shaping peace and recovery efforts.

Reporting to the UN Women National Programme Specialist and under the overall supervision of the Programme Manager for WPHF, the Community Based Volunteeers willl work closely with WPHF women led and women human rights civil society organizations, and contribute to strategic planning, implementation, monitoring, and reporting of WPHF-supported interventions.
