BACKGROUND:

UNIFEM's current and expanding cost-sharing programmes require that
the Outreach and Business Development Team (OBDT) have additional
capacity to meet UNIFEM's reporting needs. The Strategic Plan for
UNIFEM for the period of 2008-2011 requires that UNIFEM enhance its
capacity to meet demand and seize opportunities. The significant rise
in UNIFEM's cost-sharing agreements has a direct impact on the volume
of donor reports required and the processes surrounding donor
relations.

Within OBDT, the Donor Relations and Reporting Associate helps to
strengthen capacity at HQ by ensuring that the reporting obligations
are tracked, shared, adhered to and monitored, in order to support
UNIFEM's outreach and business development strategies.

In the context of UNIFEM decentralization, and given the
interrelationship of OBDT's functional responsibilities, the
Associate is responsible for constant and direct interaction and
information-sharing among the OBDT donor reporting team and other
UNIFEM staff members involved in donor reporting. Through provision
of specialized expertise and systems, the Associate supports the
strategies, approaches, services, and advice provided by the Resource
Mobilization, and Communications and Advocacy teams.

Specialist, the Donor Relations and Reporting Associate will assist

key deliverables. It is critical in the areas of donor maintenance
and donor relations. This will support the Outreach and Business
Development Adviser and the Resource Mobilization team as a whole, as

Specifically, the Donor Relations and Reporting Associate will

electronic resource mobilization information system, in order to
