The United Nations (UN) in Uganda is implementing a Joint Programming on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment with current funding from DFID. The programme is being coordinated by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM, Part of UN Women). The UN Joint Programme is a collaboration of 11 participating UN Agencies in the concept of Delivering as One, the Government of Uganda (GOU) and civil society. The programme includes resources for strengthening strategic institutions within government in gender mainstreaming activities including the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS).
UBOS is a semi-autonomous agency of government created under the UBOS Act 1998 and mandated to ensure the production of quality and timely official statistics, and constitutes a coordinating, monitoring and supervisory body for the National Statistical System (NSS). UBOS strives to develop a coherent, reliable, efficient and demand-driven NSS that supports management and development initiatives. Due to the increasing need and demand for gender statistics for effective planning, UBOS has prioritised the need to mainstream gender statistics production in the various government line Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) involved in the generation of statistics.
UBOS as lead agency in statistical development is expected to undertake the following responsibilities towards the development of Gender Statistics:
* Ensure regular production of statistical publications on gender that present and interpret topical data on women and men suitably packaged for a wide range of users
* Ensure that producers and users of statistics in the NSS regularly review the adequacy of official statistical systems, the scope of gender issues, and develop strategies for improvement
* Promote the use of more gender sensitive data in the formulation of policy and implementation of programmes and projects
It is in the above context that UBOS requires the services of a Project Officer on Gender and Statistics to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics.
Duties and Responsibilities
The SC Project Officer on Gender and Statistics to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics recruited under Service Band 4 at SC 9 level, will work under the direct supervision of Principal Officer Statistical Coordination in the UBOS and in close collaboration with the International UN Volunteer Gender Statistician, other statistics officers and provide mentoring to the UBOS Gender Officer. The position holder will be matrix managed by the Joint programme Coordinator for purposes of meeting the Joint Programme results, progress reporting on delivery of the deliverables.
Summary of Key Functions:
* Design and implement gender capacity development plan for UBOS incorporating the findings and recommendations of the participatory gender audit
* Organize capacity building activities on gender analysis, reporting, popularization and dissemination of gender statistics within UBOS and the statistical units of the seven (7) priority sectors – Agriculture, Education, Health, Water and Sanitation, Energy, JLOS and Local Government
* Facilitate the downstream generation and application of gender statistics through training and mentoring district statisticians in the production of district gender profiles in ten priority districts of the JP Gender
* Develop and apply gender responsive data-collection tools and gender analysis tools
* Institutionalise the dissemination, use and documentation of gender analytical products for improved programme planning in the 7 priority sectors and 10 selected districts.

Online Volunteering

Underlying all activities of the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme today is the commitment to support sustainable human development globally through the promotion of volunteerism; to embrace and promote volunteer action in all its diversity; and to enhance opportunities for all people to participate. Within the overarching framework of the Millennium Development Goals, UNV’s work focuses on three broad areas: mobilizing volunteers; stimulating national policy development on volunteerism; and international advocacy.

In recent years, UNV has launched several initiatives to respond to demand and opportunities for engaging a wider group of citizens to volunteer for development both locally and internationally. While UNV continues to assign some 5,500 UN Volunteers every year to support communities and organizations in programme countries, it also hosts and manages the Online Volunteering (OV) service.

Established in March 2000, the OV service connects organizations working in or focused on developing countries with a diverse, abundant pool of people from all over the world who possess a variety of talents, skills and expertise. For many of the participating organizations, online volunteers present a tremendous and much-needed resource by helping the organizations to stretch on-site resources even further, serve more people, and build upon their capacities in a variety of skills. Online volunteers also benefit from this exchange. It is a perfect channel for people who want to volunteer, but cannot take time off work or studies, be away from their families or other commitments. Not only do they learn about other cultures and countries, they also gain knowledge on the many issues faced by those living in the developing world.

By volunteering online, they can exercise skills they are learning in school or in the workplace. It also provides the opportunity to take on roles and assume responsibilities not always provided by their professional or academic life. It may equally grant an expatriate to reconnect with and provide help to his or her country. While online volunteers are active in many diverse activities, some examples of their work include providing online tutorials in various academic and technical areas, offering professional expertise and advice, researching topics and gathering related data, building databases, editing and preparing press releases and proposals, creating web pages, designing brochures and newsletters, managing other online volunteers, and translating documents.

To date, this initiative has involved some 600 organizations. An estimated 30,000 people have joined the OV service, with more than half engaging in an assignment. Reaffirming UNV’s commitment to promoting South-South cooperation, approximately 55 percent of the organizations participating in the OV service are based in the developing world, as are 45 percent of the online volunteers.

“Online volunteering helps to harness the wealth of willingness, resources and commitment that exists in the volunteer world. So often, people want to help, but simply don’t know how to get involved. The OV service provides a way that is both simple and accessible for such people and, yet, changes lives in very practical ways.” Global Hand, an NGO based in Hong Kong
