Lowongan Kerja Jakarta Raya Posisi Communications And Advocacy Analyst di UNOPS Indonesia Operations Centre (IDOC)

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. In Indonesia, addressing humanitarian-peace-development nexus is critically important given its highly diverse population, complex governance system and ensuring humanitarian and conflict affected areas at the sub-national level.
