UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.

Palestinian Gatherings were first identified by Fafo (2003) as informal areas that constitute relatively homogenous refugees’ communities of a minimum of 25 households exhibiting humanitarian needs. In 2017, the Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee (LPDC) survey identified a total of 154 gatherings, while dropping the number of minimum households to 15. According to this study, 55% of Palestinian refugees live outside camps, in informal gatherings.
While Palestinian refugees in Gatherings are registered with UNRWA and/or the Lebanese Government, their place of settlement, unlike camps, is not officially recognized. This has reflected on refugees’ living conditions, marked by run-down physical environments, limited access to income-generating activities, and weak tenure security and access to basic urban services, mainly WASH. While municipalities generally retract from extending development plans or providing services in these informal gatherings, UNRWA’s mandate to provide basic urban services is restricted to the borders of the 12 recognized camps. To access urban services, resources and jobs, refugees in Gatherings rely on short-term alternative solutions, which are usually associated with informality, risks and lack of efficiency. This situation has been leading to increased tensions and conflicts within the gatherings and with surrounding communities, undermining stability and promoting risky behaviors, particularly among youth.
In an effort to advance gender transformative programming, UNDP is applying the “Gender Equality Seal” – a certification process aiming to evaluate the level of gender responsiveness of different UNDP Country Offices. The UNDP Country Office in Lebanon is committed to effectively take part in this process, through the active engagement of all its key projects.
In this context, the UNDP project in Palestinian Gatherings aims at advancing gender equity in the communities it serves, through gender-responsive design, implementation, monitoring and reporting of all its activities. For this objective, the UNDP project seeks to recruit a Gender Analyst and Trainer to (1) support the project team in mainstreaming gender in the design, implementation and monitoring of project activities following a comprehensive gender analysis of the project and to (2) contribute to the capacity building of project’s team members and partners through two tailored trainings on gender and development.
