Head

vor 2 Monaten

Genf GE, Schweiz UNFPA Vollzeit

**The Position**:
The position of Head of the Global Emergency Response Unit is located in the Humanitarian Response Division (HRD), based in Geneva. Under the overall guidance of the Director of HRD, the incumbent reports to the Deputy Director and provides substantive leadership in supporting Regional and Country Offices for their humanitarian emergency responses according to UNFPA’s Emergency Policy and Procedures and other relevant policies and frameworks.

**How you can make a difference**:
UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s strategic plan (2022-2025), reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States, organizations and individuals to “build forward better”, while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women’s and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, recover lost gains and realize our goals.

In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction.

**Job Purpose**:
The overall purpose of the Humanitarian Response Division (HRD) is to facilitate the delivery of the UNFPA’s mandate by leading emergency response and supporting humanitarian preparedness actions in increasingly complex humanitarian situations, within globally agreed frameworks (2030 Agenda, Grand Bargain Commitments, Sendai Framework, etc.). The HRD leads in leveraging and increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and capacity of UNFPA staff and partners to scale up UNFPA's role as a key global humanitarian leader. Through the Inter-Agency Standing Committee for Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance (IASC) and other associated entities, the HRD acts as a point of convergence on humanitarian activities, including policy, coordination, programming, advocacy, capacity development, resource mobilization, innovation, partnerships, technical guidance and, crucially, thematic integration, ensuring complementarity between humanitarian and development action within the organization.

HRD advocates among humanitarian agencies to include sexual and reproductive health and rights needs and sexual and gender-based violence prevention and response needs and humanitarian concerns and specific needs of women, adolescents and young people into the overall humanitarian preparedness and response frameworks. The HRD facilitates the development of UNFPA capacities to prepare and respond to the emergencies and to ensure the Agency is well equipped to deal with the context of fragility and disaster risk reduction.

The Head of the Global Emergency Response Unit (GERU) is responsible for supporting the overall leadership of HRD’s emergency interventions and management of the Global Emergency Response Unit under the overall guidance of the Director of HRD and daily supervision of the Deputy Director and contributing to UNFPA’s strategic goals through the management of an emergency preparedness and response portfolio. The GERU provides a field focused, service oriented, steering and convening role focusing on forward looking preparedness and ensures a swift, coordinated, and integrated humanitarian emergency response.

The incumbent will work in close collaboration with other units in HRD and HQ, the Regional and Country Offices and other UNFPA entities. The incumbent has supervisory responsibilities.

**You would be responsible for**:

- Provide regular operational updates to the Director/Deputy Director on ongoing crises, and potential crises for early warning, early action, and emergency preparedness including prepositioning.
- Lead in monitoring and tracking compliance of preparedness and prepositioning action by Regional and Country Offices to identify gaps and need for additional support.
- Ensure that the organization is up to date on policy and guidance for emergency preparedness and response.
- Closely monitor, track, and ensure full implementation of the Emergency Policy and Procedures, and identify gaps for more support to Regional and Country Offices in emergencies.
- Provide support to the Director/Deputy Director to ensure effective and timely deployment of the Global Emergency Response Team (GERT).
- Lead the provision of technical assistance in emergencies, especially in IASC Scale-Up/L3/Corporate priorities and emergencies.
- In collaboration with Supply Chain Management Unit (SCMU), ensure the implementation of th
