**EXPECTED DURATION OF ASSIGNMENT**:
**Background**:
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the empowerment of women; the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, peace and security, humanitarian actions, and human rights. By placing women’s rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women supports the United Nations system by ensuring the commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action in different world settings. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of the Member States and builds effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

In support of the Arab Republic of Egypt’s Vision 2030 and the National Strategy for the Empowerment of Egyptian Women (NSEEW), the work of the UN Women Egypt Country Office (ECO) is grounded in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA).

Under the Egypt/UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2023-2027 and the Entity’s portfolio therein, UN Women implements its triple mandate of supporting normative standard-setting to advance gender equality and women's empowerment, implementing national and grassroots programmes grounded in international norms and best practices in partnership with national stakeholders, and strengthening UN system coordination. Over two decades of work in the country has resulted in UN Women ECO consolidating its expertise, partnerships, and investments around three main areas of work: women's leadership and system-wide support to advancing gender equality; women's economic empowerment; and eliminating all forms of violence against women and girls, including harmful practices.

**BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE PROGRAMME**

“Women’s Economic Empowerment for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth in Egypt” - “Rabeha”:
UN Women and UNIDO are implementing this five-year joint programme (ending in June 2025) funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC). The programme works toward empowering women by enhancing their economic livelihoods through increased access to capacity development, self-employment, decent employment opportunities, and community support for gender equality. The programme reflects an integrated approach combining both upstream interventions at the policy level and downstream measures directly working with women and businesses to realize each of the three outcomes:

- Outcome 1100: Increased productivity and job opportunities generated by women entrepreneurs.
- Outcome 1200: Increased employment of women by businesses.
- Outcome 1300: Reduced gender-specific barriers to women’s entrepreneurship and to women entering and remaining in the work force.

The Programme is implemented through partnerships with the National Council for Women (NCW), Ministry of Industry (MOI) and the Micro Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency (MSMEDA). It also engages multiple service providers and implementing partners who contribute to the different program components.

To date, the programme has benefited more than 7400 women entrepreneurs and women job seekers who attended the different capacity building components aiming to economically empower them to join the labor market in employment or self-employment. The training programs were offered to women from seven governorates: Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, Fayoum, Beheira, Minya, and Beni Suef; and have been delivered in online, offline, or hybrid formats.

In order to ensure sustainability of the programme’s efforts, providing longer term connection and support to the graduates, and facilitate networking and sharing of resources between the programme’s beneficiaries, the programme is looking to build an online community for its graduates to be hosted on social media platforms[1] that can outlive the programme.

Main purposes of the community:

- Maintain continuous connections between the beneficiaries of the different components of the programme, and link them to multiple stakeholders (governmental, private sector, etc.),
- Act as a support network for the women beneficiaries of the programme who want to access the labor market, whether as employees or self-employed entrepreneurs, and inspire them to pursue their careers.
- Information and resources sharing about available opportunities (career development, trainings, markets, partnerships, jobs, and raw material)
- Hosting of events and activities (online or offline) that contribut
