Promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and adolescent girls is central to the mandate of the United Nations Population Fund and at the heart of its work — both as a stand-alone dedicated area and as a mainstreamed approach. The organization’s Strategic Plan 2018–2021 is focused on achieving universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights through three transformational goals: ending preventable maternal deaths, ending the unmet need for family planning and ending gender based violence and all harmful practices.

In the light of the above, a national consultant with expertise in areas of gender and GBV is needed to support the CO to draft a national plan to combat early marriage in Syria. The consultant will also conduct SWOT analysis, trainings, workshops and will prepare an implementation matrix to combat the phenomena of early marriage in Syria.
