The GBV in Emergencies (GBViE) Specialist will support and strengthen the capacity of a national GBV coordinator to ensure a robust and well-functioning coordination body that promotes the highest standards of GBV prevention and response, in line with global guidance. The GBV Specialist will also help establish sustainable mechanisms and build national capacity (of UNFPA and partners) to continue the successful implementation of GBV programmes.

Under the direct supervision of the Representative, and the functional supervision of the Humanitarian Coordinator, the incumbent facilitates the rapid implementation of UNFPA´s multi-sectoral GBV interventions in Cameroon and strengthens the coordination of the GBV sub-sector working group. S/he will work in close collaboration with WCARO’s GBViE Specialists to ensure proper integration of GBV in the UNFPA national and regional responses.
