Poste 3 : Finance Specialist
BACKGROUND
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.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
The nexus of security-humanitarian-development issues around Lake Chad has given rise to an intractable extremist insurgency that has left tens of thousands of people dead, approximately 2.5 million displaced, and more than 10 million people in the region affected and in need. While robust national and multi-national military operations have re-taken territory previously controlled by Boko Haram, UNDP recognizes that a new approach is required to consolidate these gains and establish the conditions necessary to transition from military to civilian responsibility for security, and from the provision of humanitarian assistance to the resumption of stalled development processes. In this context, the UNDP has strengthened its presence in the Lake Chad region by establishing sub-offices in Bol and Massakory. The sub-offices serve as the center of operations for programming which will include a Regional Stabilization Facility.
The Sub-Offices (SO) for Bol and Massakory have been operational since 2020 and UNDP have established an Operations Service Centre to support management and operations functions related to the effective delivery of programmatic results in anticipation of launch of new Programmes, such as Chadian Window of the Stabilization Facility. The National Window of the Regional Stabilization Facility for Chad aims to address the needs of immediate stabilization in the target areas with high degrees of insecurity, promoting the phased transition of insecure areas toward greater security, and the reduction of current volatility whereby previously secure areas have become more rather than less vulnerable. As part of the Stabilization second phase, the CO of the United Nations Development Programme in Chad is launching the recruitment of an international Finance Specialist (P-3) for the sub-office in Bol , Lac province.
