Mission and objectives
UNFPA is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency. Our mission is to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.
UNFPA’s goal is to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health, realize
Reproductive rights, and reduce maternal mortality to accelerate progress on the ICPD
Agenda, to improve the lives of adolescents and youth, and women, enabled by population dynamics, human rights, and gender equality.
In 2018, UNFPA launched efforts to achieve three transformative results, ambitions that promise to change the world for every man, woman, adolescent and young person:
1. Ending unmet need for family planning
2. Ending preventable maternal death
3. Ending gender-based violence and harmful practices
UNFPA recognizes that innovation is a key accelerator to achieve these results. UNFPA will harness innovation to meet tomorrow’s challenges and boost its impact, especially in addressing furthest behind populations, and leverage opportunities, social capital, funding and technology by (a) strengthening the corporate innovation architecture and capabilities, (b) scaling up innovations that have proven to be effective and impactful, (c) forming new partnerships and connecting with relevant innovation ecosystems, (d) strengthening and leveraging financing for innovation, and (e) expanding communities and culture for innovation.

Context
Jordan hosts the second-largest number of refugees per capita worldwide. As of 30 June 2026, the country hosts 393,271 registered refugees and asylum-seekers, including 370,179 registered Syrian refugees, of whom 78 per cent reside in host communities and 22 per cent in refugee camps, primarily Za’atari and Azraq. While voluntary returns to Syria have increased since late 2024, the majority of refugees continue to require humanitarian assistance, particularly as funding constraints and the humanitarian transition place increasing pressure on essential services. Women and girls in both camps and host communities continue to face significant barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response programmes. UNFPA supports the delivery of integrated SRH and GBV services through specialized partners, including Women and Girls Safe Spaces (WGSS) and SRH service points in refugee camps and host communities. UNFPA also maintains its role as co-lead of the national and camp-level SRH and GBV Working Groups, strengthening coordination, quality of services and referral pathways. The integrated response includes family planning, antenatal and postnatal care, clinical management of rape referrals, GBV case management, psychosocial support, awareness raising and community outreach. The incumbent UN Volunteer will support UNFPA Jordan’s humanitarian response through humanitarian analysis, technical programme support, coordination, monitoring and reporting. The role will contribute to strengthening SRH and GBV programming, supporting evidence-based decision-making, maintaining effective partnerships and ensuring that humanitarian interventions remain responsive to the evolving needs of refugees and vulnerable populations.
