Around 3,000 people work at UNODC headquarters in Vienna and in field offices around the
world.
UNODC is committed to gender parity, geographical diversity and the inclusion of persons with disabilities in its workforce.
The United Nations-wide
Gender Parity Strategy sets targets for equal representation of women and men. The office's efforts to achieve gender
balance are based upon the UNOV/UNODC
Strategy for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (2018-2021). The overarching target is to achieve 50/50 parity
at every staff level of the organization. In order to enhance geographical diversity amongst UNODC staff, the office follows
the UN Secretariat's Geographical
Diversity Strategy. In line with these diversity goals, UNODC encourages applications from qualified female candidates as
well as candidates from the following UN regional groups:
African Group, Asia-Pacific Group, Eastern European Group, and Latin American and Caribbean Group.
