United Nations Secretariat Job Vacancy 2023

Duties and Responsibilities:

To this end, OSESG-GL has developed, in close collaboration with Belgium, a pilot project aimed at promoting the participation of women and young people in the mining sector in the Great Lakes region. Implementation of the project by OSESG-GL involves the recruitment of an Individual Contractor – Programme Assistant (National), who will focus on including the capacity building for women and young people involved in the mineral supply chain in the Great Lakes region.

There is insufficient awareness by the actors involved in the mineral supply chains of the regional and international legal instruments and the national legal texts which govern the mining sector, especially relating to the provisions that advocate for women and young people. This has generated marginalization and discrimination, which in-turn hinders their contribution to the sector and ability to benefit directly from the wealth that can be generated. Issues relating to excessive administrative requirements, over-taxation and non-adherence to contractual agreements, linked to the fact that most are uneducated and illiterate, means that they are frequently exploited by public officers in charge and other mining operators.

Qualification & Experience:

  • High school diploma or equivalent is required.
  • Knowledge in Social Sciences, Development or International Studies is desirable.
  • 5 years of professional experience in programme management is required.
  • 5 years of relevant experience in implementing projects related to women and/or youth is desirable.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills is required
  • Experience working with the UN or its agencies within the Great Lakes Region is an asset.
  • Good understanding of the UN Strategy for the Great Lakes region is an asset
  • Good understanding of regional gender mechanisms and tools is desirable.
