Position: “Gender, Peace & Security” Manager (Parliamentary Centre of Asia)__Deadline:30-September

PCAsia is seeking an active and motivated candidate for “Gender, Peace & Security” Manager Position to work with a high profile and dynamic organization.

PARLIAMENTARY CENTRE OF ASIA

The Parliamentary Centre of Asia (PCAsia), established in early 2021 in Phnom Penh, is the successor of the Parliamentary Institute of Cambodia (PIC) founded in 2011, a transition that reflects an expansion of activities with Parliaments across Southeast Asia. The mandate of PCAsia is therefore to contribute to the strengthening of Southeast Asian Parliaments through capacity building of their staff, based on the demands or requests of each Parliament within a framework of south-south and north-south cooperation. It draws on the expertise of national, regional, and international partners (Parliaments and research centres).

Role of department

The training of Parliamentary staff is at the core of PCAsia’s mission, and the Capacity Development (CD) department is responsible for carrying out this work. CD handles curriculum and syllabus design for the training programs, and its staff provides practical training according to their respective expertise for most of the many training programs. With the transition to blended learning and learning by distance, CD staff is also called to increasingly play a facilitation role, working with external experts to design and deliver content suitable for digital platforms, then working with trainees to complete the related assignments.

Other responsibilities include researching, the mentoring and quality control of research products produced by the trained parliamentary researchers, and providing quality control technical advice with regards to newly-trained parliamentary staff members when back working in their institutions of provenance in applying their newly-acquired skills.

Position description

The Women, Peace & Security (WPS) agenda remains critically important in a world that struggles with complex conflict—be it violent state-based warfare, civil war, internal conflict, or violent extremism. National Action Plans (NAPs) on women, peace, and security have been created in about 80 countries to establish priorities for government agencies and other organizations to work toward. Sectoral strategies on gender, justice, or national security in other nations have taken gender-sensitive peace and security priorities into account. Parliamentary support for the women, peace, and security agenda has been uneven, with many not knowing about or not getting involved in national implementation initiatives.

As representative of the people, Parliamentarians have an obligation to guarantee that everyone, including women and girls, can live a life that is safe, secure, and peaceful and that they have equal opportunities to create societies that are safe and secure. To these ends, legislators can accomplish these goals by utilizing their authority in the legislature to promote laws, budgets, policies, and initiatives/programmes.

The Programme Manager for Gender, Peace and Security is thus responsible for conceptualizing activities, trainings and drafting of a curriculum on gender equality for parliamentary staff that play crucial role in supporting the Member of Parliaments (MPs) in performing their three functions. To some lesser extent the Programme Manager is also responsible for conceptualizing knowledge/ experience sharing mechanisms for MPs in the subject of gender equality and its mainstreaming in the parliament.

The Programme Manager is also expected to develop a plan to integrate gender into the other training activities of the organization and cover all components of the PCAsia capacity development programmes.

The Manager is expected to conduct training in these areas for both PCAsia staff and external trainees. In addition, the Programme Manager is expected to identify potential candidates from the trainees that are suitable for PCAsia’s Training of Trainers (ToT) programme so that knowledge on this subject can be delivered to parliamentary staff in their own language (i.e., Laos).
