Back NATIONAL POST: Project Management Analyst (Gender-Based Violence/the Second Bridge Phase, KOICA funded Project), UNFPA Ha Noi - Viet Nam Country Office, NOA

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS VACANCY IS OPEN ONLY TO NATIONALS OF VIET NAM, WITH A CONTRACT VALID UNTIL 31 MARCH 2026.

Background:

The project “Building a Model to Respond to Violence against Women and Girls in Viet Nam“ funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) was successfully implemented by UNFPA in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MOLISA), the Quang Ninh Social Work Center and the Center for Studies and Applied Sciences in Gender, Family, Women and Adolescents (CSAGA) in the period 2017-2021. Under this support, the first-ever One Stop Service Centre (OSSC) for survivors of Gender-based Violence (GBV) was established in Quang Ninh of Viet Nam to provide integrated 24/7 essential services including healthcare, psychological counseling, legal support, police protection, emergency shelter, and referral pathways under one roof. To sustain and strengthen the achievements of the project, KOICA continuously supported UNFPA to ensure its sustainability via the first Bridge Phase entitled “The follow-up activities of Building a Model to Respond to Violence against Women and Girls in Viet Nam, July 2022 - June 2023”. 

However, in early September 2024, Typhoon YAGI, one of the biggest typhoons in 30 years, struck Northern provinces of Viet Nam, causing widespread devastation for these provinces including Quang Ninh. The OSSC was also severely wrecked by the typhoon, which damaged its infrastructure and disrupted daily operations including its disconnected hotline. Accordingly, GBV services provided by OSSC were completely interrupted during and post the typhoon due to its severe damage, power outage, and interrupted telephone networks. In this context, KOICA continues their support via the second Bridge Phase entitled “Support Emergency Relief and Post Disaster Recovery for Quang Ninh One Stop Service Center”, October 2024 - September 2025. The objective of the second Bridge Phase project is to support emergency relief and post-disaster recovery for Quang Ninh’s OSSC to ensure the provision of uninterrupted services for GBV survivors in Quang Ninh and nearby provinces. The second Bridge Phase is part of a second phase project (2024-2028) that was developed by UNFPA and its partners and submitted to KOICA for final approval.
