Hintergrundinformation

The Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) is looking for an expert to support the Fund in Africa, in the context of both the 20th anniversary of UNSCR1325, and of the significant growth that it is currently experiencing on the continent.

WPHF is a partnership between the UN, Member States and civil society which aims to support women’s meaningful participation in peace and security and humanitarian contexts. Since it was launched in 2016, the WPHF has been supporting 70 civil society organizations working in 6 countries. In 2019, the WPHF has seen a significant growth of its portfolio, due to increased momentum around WPS issues ahead of the 20th anniversary of UNSCR1325 as well as strong evidence of WPHF’s added value on the ground. In 2019, the WPHF has gone from 1 country of operations on the continent (Burundi) to 7 countries (Burundi, Mali, DRC, Malawi, Liberia, Nigeria and Uganda).
