Part-time photographer services rendered to UN Women Moldova ProgrammesVacancy Number: Pr15/00885
Contacts: Ms. Elena Ratoi. Background
UN Women is one of the 16 agencies present in Moldova that has been actively working in Moldova since early 2007 (under UNIFEM). It extended continuous support to the Government of Moldova to key stakeholders from national and local levels, through various programmes and activities aimed at creating an enabling environment for gender equality, recognized as a prerequisite for sustainable development with a strong and active policy on gender equality. Under the approved Strategic Note for 2014-2017, UN Women in Moldova, as a full-fledge Country Office, will continue supporting UN concerted efforts on promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, coordinating the work on GE and WHR, leading Civil Society Advisory Group, advancing introduction of temporary special measures and increasing women’s leadership and participation in decision making in public and private sectors, securing women’s access, especially from rural areas to productive resources and services, providing social protection to the most excluded groups of women such as Roma and disabled; leading UN agencies efforts for ending violence against women and girls, promoting and protecting rights of migrant women. To implement these initiatives, UN Women Moldova country team will focus its activities in four distinct areas, specifically: Women in Politics, Women’s Economic Empowerment, Eliminating Violence against Women and Girls, Women Migrant Workers, as well as Policies, Plans and Budgets that are engendered. It is important to note that all planned results will be achieved through implementation of a comprehensive country program supplemented by various projects with core and cost-sharing funds raised at the country level, as well as supported by HQ and Brussels liaison office. UN Women places an important emphasis on communicating to beneficiaries and partners its development assistance results, as well as the donors’ contribution to their achievement. For this purpose, UN Women Moldova seeks to embark on a series of targeted communications interventions that would show-case the results of programmes activities and their ultimate impact on beneficiaries. This is particularly important when communications efforts are geared toward resource mobilization, and donor countries are increasingly insisting on documented results to demonstrate value for money. In the current funding environment that is defined by the economic and financial crisis and dwindling Official Development Assistance (ODA), a priority concern of the organization’s communications efforts must therefore be to capture the change that UN Women’s interventions have made on women’s lives. As a part of UN Women work in Moldova there are also planned a series of missions of international experts and consultants, as well the organization of various events such as conferences, workshops, roundtables, study visits, trainings, with participation of national counterparts and international organizations and invited international consultants to promote UN Women at country level, ensure visibility of the programmes implemented and reach out the target audience/beneficiaries. A prudent approach is to have on hand a long-term agreement with a photographer who can be brought on board to address visual communications needs on an ad hoc and as-needed basis. The photographer will ensure proper reflection and coverage of the event as well as will contribute to building of a pool of photographic evidence and promotion materials, which can be further used as support for adequate representation of the agency and its activities, awareness and advocacy initiatives, and ensure presence on the national media stage and even international media stage. Also, as UN Women in Moldova activities will be reflected on its Social Media pages, but also on UN Women Regional Office website, a proper reflection is desirable. In view of documenting the activities and creating a pool of image resources UN Women Moldova seeks to hire a photographer for providing timely and qualitative still photography services.
