I. Position Information


Title: Human Resources Analyst
Level: Service Contract SC 5
Supervisor: Operations Manager
Duty station: Mogadishu with missions to Baidoa
Duration: One (With possibility of extension)
Date of Issue: 11 June 2007
Closing date: 27 June 2007



II. Organizational Context


UNDP Somalia is dedicated to supporting the people of Somalia in regaining security and stability and in establishing transparent, accountable governance mechanisms supported by the public. The prospects of gaining sustained access to Central South Somalia and in particular Mogadishu with the ongoing relocation of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG) from Baidoa to Mogadishu means critical opportunities for providing humanitarian and development assistance and laying the foundation to restore peace and stability. However, the challenges to human development are extreme and obstacles to international assistance remain significant with emerging Government Institutions (GI) of the TFG whose capacities need to be strengthened.

Letters of Agreement (LOA) whereby UNDP provides funds to GIs to undertake agreed activities have proved to be a valuable tool to help Somali people and contribute to capacity building of the GIs. However delays in the implementation of the agreed activities have occurred and it is therefore necessary to enhance the cooperation between UNDP and the TFG defined in the LOAs by increasing UNDP presence in Mogadishu. This applies as well to some extent to partnerships between UNDP and NGOs.

In this context and as part of a decentralization and delegation of authority process from its headquarters in Nairobi to its sub-offices in Somalia, UNDP Somalia wishes to beef up its operations in the areas of procurement, finance and human resources in its office in Mogadishu.

It is expected that these additional operational resources will increase the delivery rate and impact of UNDP projects, contribute to capacity building of the TFG and ensure the proper and efficient use of the funds provided.
