Job Description

Background:

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.

Established by UN General Assembly Resolution 50/166 in 1996, the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UN Trust Fund) is the first and remains the only global UN funding mechanism dedicated exclusively to providing direct grants to civil society organizations working to prevent and end all forms of violence against women and girls (EVAW/G). Since 2010, UN Women has administered the UN Trust Fund on behalf of the UN system, providing a strong institutional foundation and field support through a global infrastructure of country and regional offices.

With nearly three decades of experience, the UN Trust Fund has become a key global mechanism for funding initiatives that aim to eliminate violence against women and girls. It plays a critical role in fostering collaboration across governments, UN agencies, and civil society to address the root causes and consequences of violence, aligning its work with broader international policies and frameworks. The UN Trust Fund focuses on providing long-term grants to organizations that work in diverse contexts, particularly those representing marginalized groups, such as indigenous women, women living with disabilities, and women from rural or conflict-affected areas. Its investments are survivor-centered and aim to have sustainable, long-term impacts. To date, the UN Trust Fund has funded over 700 initiatives in over 140 countries and territories, significantly contributing to global efforts to end violence against women and girls.

Reporting to the Programme Lead – Global Grant Portfolio, the Grant-Making Programme Specialist will be responsible for:

1. Leading the planning and coordination of the UN Trust Fund’s Call for Proposals, ensuring strategic alignment.
2. Managing the end-to-end technical and operational aspects of the Grant-Making Programme, including application review, partner selection, grantee contracting, and fund disbursement.
3. Coordinating engagement with partners and stakeholders, including UN Women offices, external technical reviewers, and civil society partners, to strengthen grant selection and assessment processes.
4. Facilitating grant application support and knowledge management, providing technical guidance to applicants, developing tools and resources, and ensuring quality reporting and tracking of grant-making outcomes.

This role requires strong technical expertise in grant-making, stakeholder engagement, system management, and a commitment to inclusive, impact-driven funding models to support frontline civil society organizations addressing violence against women and girls.
