Background

JOB DESCRIPTION

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, 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.
UN Women Uganda is implementing its Strategic Note 2026-2030 in support of national priorities and global commitments on gender equality and women’s empowerment. In line with Uganda’s National Development Plan IV (NDP-IV), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and national commitments to end violence against women, girls and children, UN Women works with government institutions and other stakeholders to strengthen the availability and use of gender statistics for evidence-based planning, programming and accountability.
As part of these efforts, UN Women is supporting the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) to undertake Uganda’s second Violence Against Children and Women Survey (VACWS) 2025/26. The survey is expected to generate nationally representative data on the prevalence, drivers, consequences and service responses related to violence against women and children. Building on previous violence surveys, the VACWS will provide critical evidence to inform policy development, resource allocation, programming and monitoring of national commitments on ending violence against women and girls (VAWG).
Beyond the VACWS, UN Women is supporting initiatives aimed at strengthening Citizen Generated Data (CGD), enhancing the production and use of gender-responsive administrative data, and improving reporting on gender-related SDG indicators. These efforts seek to strengthen Uganda’s data ecosystem by increasing the quality, accessibility and utilization of gender statistics across government institutions, civil society organizations and development partners.
The Consultant will report to the Team Lead, Ending Violence Against Women, and provide technical support to enhance the quality, comparability, documentation, dissemination, and use of gender statistics generated through the VACWS, citizen-generated data initiatives, and selected administrative data systems. The Consultant will also contribute to UN Women’s research, reporting, and knowledge-management efforts, ensuring that high-quality gender data informs policy and programming for gender equality and the elimination of violence against women and girls in Uganda.
