Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)
Background:
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

Part of the Strategic Partnerships Division, the Private Sector Partnerships (PSP) Section leads UN Women’s engagement with the private sector, corporations, philanthropy, foundations, and individuals - both in terms of a substantive components and resource mobilization - and it drives a wide range of UN Women’s global initiatives: HeForShe, Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) and Unstereotype Alliance (UA). It also leads the work with all UN Women National Committees, and on the development of the individual/digital giving business line for private sector. PSP’s main aims are to ensure that UN Women develops and sustains high quality and impact focused partnerships to achieve maximum results for gender equality and women’s empowerment.

The Barbershop Toolkit is a HeForShe participatory program, rooted in the Transforming Patriarchal Masculinities (TPM) approach, and designed to engage men and boys in exploring equitable masculinities, gender equality, and social norms change. To scale the initiative across multiple countries and languages, UN Women seeks to establish a roster of qualified facilitators who can deliver Barbershop sessions and support local adaptation processes. The Consultant Roster is a deployment mechanism maintaining pre-vetted experts within an area of specialization and related sub-specializations. The roster is established to meet the organization’s growing need for access to expertise and to accelerate delivery. The roster provides HQ, Regional and Country Offices access to a large pool of pre-vetted candidates to be able to kickstart new programmes, accelerate delivery of existing programmes and/or respond to emergency situations/urgent assignments requiring rapid deployments of qualified expertise.
