Background
The Office of the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Myanmar is looking for an International Research Assistant to support the process of updating the UN’s Common Country Analysis (CCA). The CCA is the UN’s independent analysis of the country situation and it is intended to be used for a variety of purposes, including informing UN programming. The current CCA was developed in 2020. It takes stock of Myanmar’s progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, assesses the groups left furthest behind, and identifies a set of transformational bottlenecks, which if unlocked, would catalyze progress across a range of development areas. The analytical focus of the updated CCA will be on capturing the significant changes in the Myanmar country context that have taken place over the past year as a result of the military takeover in February 2021 and the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The UN Resident Coordinator’s Office supports the roles and functions of the UN Resident Coordinator and the UN Country Team and is part of the UN’s Resident Coordinator System, which brings together UN agencies, funds and programmes to increase coordination and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of activities at the country level, helping the UN to be a more relevant partner for the government.
