  • Contribute to representing and positioning UNDP in crisis-related interagency and multi-stakeholder processes with a focus on the humanitarian coordination architecture and processes (e.g. IASC, GCCG, Grand Bargain, HPC, etc) in coordination with Regional Bureaux, GPN substantive, thematic and policy teams.
  • Advocate for development approaches and solutions to crisis and fragility, including through external engagements on relevant issues and processes.

Requirements:

  • An advanced university degree (master's degree or equivalent) in development, international relations, political science, or related field OR a first-level university degree (bachelor's degree) in combination with an additional two years of qualifying experience will be given due consideration in lieu of the advanced university degree.
