<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2><div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"><span class="rtl" dir="rtl"> Result of Service<br>**Final Results of the Service** * Organize and implement a national workshop that forms a key basis for developing the National Guide, during the period from September to October 2026; * Prepare and complete the National Guide by the end of November 2026; * Prepare and provide inputs for a capacity-building program aimed at strengthening institutional and coordination mechanisms necessary for mainstreaming women's needs and priorities into sectoral and local policies and strategies, by the end of December 2026. .<br> Work Location<br>Remotely<br> Expected duration<br>5 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>## Background In order to build fairer and more sustainable societies, it is essential to mainstream women's needs and priorities and empower them in sectoral and local policies and strategies. This ensures that laws are free from discrimination and bias, and that men and women have equal access to positions, services, assets, and information, thereby ensuring the rights of all members of society. Approaches to mainstreaming women's needs and priorities into policies and strategies, as well as in national institutions, have gained significant importance due to the immense changes witnessing in societies, particularly demographic dynamics, escalating economic and social challenges, climate change, and rapid technological advancement. Neglecting the adoption of systematic and deliberate government-led methods to verify the mainstreaming of women's needs and priorities into all policies and strategies and their empowerment exposes women to further marginalization, ignores their capabilities and potential, and misses significant opportunities for their effective contribution to economic and social development. The Government of Iraq has consistently affirmed that sustainable development can only be achieved if all segments of society contribute to it and benefit from its results and gains, especially the most vulnerable groups, primarily Iraqi women, who constitute half the population and play a pivotal role in building families and strengthening society. Based on this, and relying on the principle of citizenship stipulated in the 2005 Constitution of the Republic of Iraq, which guarantees equality between all Iraqi men and women without discrimination, and in accordance with Iraq Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals, the Ministry of Planning in Iraq, in cooperation with the National Department for Iraqi Women and all relevant stakeholders, is working on preparing a National Guide for mainstreaming women's needs and priorities into sectoral and local policies and strategies, with technical support from ESCWA. This guide is of great importance as it is the first national guide of its kind on mainstreaming women's needs and priorities and empowering them in policies and strategies, as well as in national institutions in Iraq, and it is relied upon to set clear mechanisms and standards for the mainstreaming process in the state's development plans, with the aim of enhancing women's economic, social, and political empowerment. It also holds special importance as it will be considered a reference document for all ministries and national institutions, providing guidance for the design and implementation of development policies, strategies, programs, and projects aimed at empowering women. Thereby, it contributes to advancing social justice by maximizing the effectiveness and impact of public spending programs. This guide specifically aims to: * Provide a unified national framework for the efforts of all national institutions to mainstream women's needs and priorities into development planning; * Ensure the systematic mainstreaming of women's needs and priorities in the design of policies, strategies, programs, and projects; * Enhance women's economic and social empowerment and their contribution to sustainable development; * Improve the efficiency of public resource allocation to achieve more inclusive and equitable development outcomes; * Support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals; * Encourage the use of data disaggregated by sex, age, and location in planning and policy-making; * Develop indicators to monitor and evaluate the impact of policies and programs aimed at enhancing social justice. This guide represents an important step in enhancing development planning to ensure women's equal access to positions, services, assets, and information. It provides planning teams and decision-makers in relevant ministries and institutions with a clear roadmap for mainstreaming women's needs and priorities into sustainable development planning. As a reference document, it is based on constitutional and legal frameworks and national strategies, translating them into practical and applicable mechanisms across all sectors. ## Objective and Methodology In this context, ESCWA seeks to contract an international consultant to support the implementation of this initiative in its four components, which are organizing a first national workshop, developing a national guide, designing and implementing a national capacity-building program, and organizing a final national workshop to disseminate the guidance document among ministries and relevant national stakeholders. ## Tasks and Responsibilities The consultant will be responsible for the following tasks: * Review relevant documents to understand the Ministry's mandate, its mode of operation, and the nature of its outputs; and rely on inputs provided by the national consultant provided by UN Women to review relevant national policies, strategies, and programs; * Assist in preparing and participating in a national workshop, which aims to develop a shared understanding among all stakeholders of the challenges the initiative seeks to address, the available potentials and resources that can be mobilized, and the coordination mechanisms necessary to advance social justice in sectoral and local policies and strategies; * Prepare a draft national guide that serves as a basis for a unified knowledge framework to support comprehensive, evidence-based development planning, and verify its validity in cooperation with the relevant teams from ESCWA, UN Women, and the Ministry of Planning in Iraq; * Prepare the final version of the guide based on the outcomes of the national workshop, and including feedback received from the working team; * Provide inputs for the design and implementation of a national capacity-building program aimed at strengthening the institutional and coordination mechanisms necessary to activate the mainstreaming of women's needs and priorities into sectoral and local policies and strategies.
