Programme Analyst for Youth and Gender, NO-B, Kyiv, Ukraine

The Youth and Gender Programme Analyst is based at the UNFPA Country Office in Kyiv and contributes to the effective management of UNFPA activities in the Gender and Youth Unit.  The Analyst works under the supervision of the head of the Gender and Youth unit at the country office but works across all CO units to ensure that gender and youth issues are mainstreamed across the UNFPA program. The Analyst will analyze and assess relevant political, social and economic trends and provide substantive inputs to country program implementation, joint programming initiatives and national development frameworks.

UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s strategic plan (2026-2029) reaffirms the relevance of its current strategic direction and focuses on four transformative results: accelerating progress on meeting the unmet need for family planning; accelerating progress on ending preventable maternal deaths; accelerating progress on ending gender-based violence and harmful practices; and adapting to demographic change through evidence and rights-based policies.

These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States, organizations and individuals to “build forward better”, while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women’s and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, recover lost gains and realize our goals.

In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards      and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction. UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results; we need staff who are transparent, exceptional in how they manage the resources entrusted to them and who commit to deliver excellence in programme results.
