Mission and objectives
Le bureau pays de l'UNFPA à Djibouti agit en partenariat avec les gouvernements, d'autres institutions et la société civile afin de mettre en œuvre son mandat. Deux cadres guident notre mission: Le Programme d'action adoptée à la Conférence internationale sur la population et le développement de 1994 (CIPD) et les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD).
Les trois domaines privilégiés de notre mandat sont la santé sexuelle et reproductive, les droits de l’homme et l’égalité des sexes et les questions de population et de développement.
L'UNFPA apporte au pays son soutien technique et financier dans la collecte, l’analyse et la dissémination de données de population, afin de fournir des informations détaillées pour la planification, le suivi des progrès de façon à permettre des prises de décisions efficaces et efficients.

Context
In Djibouti, UNFPA works closely with the Government, civil society organizations, United Nations entities,
development partners, communities and other stakeholders to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender equality, the empowerment of women and young people, and the production and use of population data forsustainable development.
The UNFPA Djibouti Country Office is entering an important phase of programme acceleration and strategic
repositioning. The Office seeks to strengthen the visibility, coherence and sustainability of its interventions while
expanding its partnership and funding base.Current and emerging programme priorities include:
strengthening maternal and newborn health, including midwifery education, deployment and
professionalization;
reinforcing Maternal Death Surveillance and Response mechanisms;
improving access to integrated sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence services;
supporting the validation and operationalization of national gender-based violence standard operating
procedures;
expanding and strengthening multisectoral One-Stop Centres for survivors of gender-based violence;
accelerating efforts to end female genital mutilation and other harmful practices;
advancing adolescent and youth participation, leadership and access to information and services;
supporting the realization of the demographic dividend;
promoting gender-responsive budgeting and increased domestic financing for gender equality and sexual and
reproductive health;
strengthening population, health and gender data systems;
supporting the progressive digitalization of civil registration and vital statistics;
strengthening the digital monitoring of the National Gender Policy;
improving the use of evidence, innovation and digital solutions for programme management and policy
dialogue; and
enhancing the preparedness and responsiveness of programmes in humanitarian and climate-related contexts.
The assignment will help position these priorities as integrated investment opportunities that advance the ICPD
agenda and contribute particularly to Sustainable Development Goals 3, 5, 10, 16 and 17, while strengthening
national ownership and the sustainability of results. To translate these priorities into high-impact, visible and adequately financed programmes, the Country Office requires dedicated capacity to identify strategic partnerships, develop compelling funding propositions, engage emerging partners, strengthen donor relations and systematically communicate programme results. The International UN Volunteer Specialist- Resource Mobilization, Strategic Partnerships and Communications will support this ambition by connecting programme priorities, evidence, strategic partnerships and communications into a coherent country office positioning and resource mobilization approach.
