A Research Assistant

Description

Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, UN Women 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.

In UN Women Strategic Notes 2017-2021, programmatic focus is given to women’s decent work and social protection in the context of climate change (CC) and disasters risk (DR). UN Women Viet Nam is implementing the project “Strengthening women’s livelihoods and participation for greater resilience to disasters and climate change in Viet Nam”. The project applies a holistic approach to advocate for gender equality and women’s participation in the development of laws and policies on agriculture and rural development and DRR/CCA. One of the key approaches is to strengthen gender responsiveness of agriculture and rural development policies and services through gender mainstreaming.

Under this project, UN Women has been working closely with different agencies under MARD to conduct gender assessments for different agriculture and rural development policy/strategy/ programme and services. Among these, the gender assessment of the National Target Programme on New Rural Development (NTP-NRD) and the gender assessment of National Agricultural Extension System are expected to provide great impacts on women and girls in rural areas and in agriculture sector. The assessments, therefore, have been planned with two study teams and a large number of studied provinces. UN Women Viet Nam is looking for a Research Assistant to support two study teams in collecting, cleaning, and analyzing data given the large scale of the two assessments.
