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. Job Purpose and Organizational Context The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nations' global development agency. UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories helping to achieve the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. UNDP has been helping countries to develop policies leadership skills partnering abilities institutional capabilities and build resilience to sustain development results. It is also recognized as an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge experience and resources to help build nations that can withstand crisis and support their efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and achieve the new Sustainable Development Goals. As a sub-component of the Regional Service Centre for Africa (RSCA) the UNDP Sub-Regional Hub for West and Central Africa (UNDP WACA) covers 24 countries ranging from high and middle-income economies to least developed countries and countries in crisis and post-crisis situations. UNDP WACA works with UNDP Country offices and national and regional counterparts in the sub-region to support the implementation of national development priorities and achieve the sustainable development goals. UNDP’s work is guided by global and regional development and normative frameworks to which countries in Africa are signatories including the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063. Currently UNDP WACA works is primarily informed by the UNDP corporate strategic plan 2022- 2025 the UNDP Africa Promise and the UNDP regional programme document for Africa 2022-2025. The Preamble and Article 1 of the UN Charter describes four areas that are the pillars of the UN: Peace and Security; Human Rights; The Rule of Law; and Development. As a UN agency UNDP works while primarily focusing on development builds on the others pillars which are not only prerequisite but also enabler of sustainable development. According to the UNSG and as part of the recently published new agenda for peace launched in July 2023 “Building this new multilateralism must start with action for peace not only because war undermines progress across all our other agendas but because it was the pursuit of peace that in 1945 unified States around the need for global governance and international organization.” As part of its action for peace UNDP is implementing two strategic offers namely called crisis offer and the prevention offer which provide strategic entry points for sustainable peace across the globe. UNDP’s Prevention Offer 2022-2025 is a corporate effort to articulate UNDP’s prevention and peacebuilding ambition and promotes a strong development lens that calls for acting early and at scale in conflict and crisis prevention and peacebuilding. Its objectives are threefold to: (i) stabilize and protect hard-won development gains; (ii) mitigate risks of relapse or recurrence; and (iii) build institutional and and community resilience to sustain peaceful development pathways. Through the crisis offer UNDP focuses on breaking the cycle of fragility getting ahead of the crisis curve and investing in hope going through the following key steps: “anticipate prevent respond to and recover from crisis every day and in every development context”. As part of its governance and peacebuilding work UNDP WACA is working closely with 24 countries offices and regional partners to building capacities to take and sustain peace across the region. A key component of this work has been the fight against the proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) cognizant of the rapid proliferation of SALW constitutes one of the major security challenges currently facing the West and Central African region and its neighbouring regional blocks. The effective control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) is one of the major global prerequisites for peace building sustainable development and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Peace and security challenges in West Africa are primarily about preventing conflicts and bringing development. A major lesson UNDP learned over the years is that where small arms and armed violence dominate development suffers. The trafficking and wide availability of these weapons fuel communal conflict create political instability and pose a threat not only to national security but also to sustainable development. Its widespread proliferation is contributing to alarming levels of armed crime and militancy but also a rapid growth of non-state armed groups. In the Sahel region for instance non-state armed groups continue to pose insecurity against government forces across its frontiers. These conflicts have left behind residual insecurity characterized by the exacerbation of the circulation of illicit weapons. The flow of illicit arms as consequence of the Libyan crisis; the formation of organized criminal groups involved in Small Arms Drugs and human trafficking continues to pose a threat to regional security and stability as evidenced by the activities of terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and Islamic State's West Africa Province (ISAWP). To further promote the prevention agenda UNDP WACA has been implementing a regional project on SALW for the effective development of a broader peace and security framework for cohesive management of SALW programmes for the West and Central Africa. To continue engaging in this important endeavor and scale up the initiative for fast-track peacebuilding efforts UNDP WACA hub is recruiting a Regional Coordinator (SALW) who will be working under the direct supervision of the Director of the Regional Hub for West and Central Africa (WACA). In addition to ensuring comprehensive SALW thought leadership to strengthen UNDP positioning the regional programme on SALW provides proactive support to Country Offices in the WACA offering strategic guidance on policy and programme alignment with UNDP’s Strategic Plan and UNDP’s Africa Offer and work closely with various Regional Bureau teams as well as Central Bureau to ensure timely provision of the policy advisory and operational support services to the region and adequate response to crisis management and complex development situations.

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child Education The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child everywhere in everything the organization does — in programmes in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive develop and reach their full potential without discrimination bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social political economic civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital.
