Contract
This is a Professional contract (NRC) contract. More about Professional contract (NRC) contracts.
NORCAP is the Norwegian Refugee Council’s expert deployment mechanism. We strengthen international and local partners’ capacity to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from crisis. We do this through the work of our colleagues on assignment with UN agencies, humanitarian organizations, development actors and national stakeholders to save lives, build resilient communities, ensure peaceful transitions from conflict, and promote sustainable governance.
The Asia and Asia Pacific region is the most disaster-prone region in the world. Disasters, be they natural or man-made, can have harmful gender-related consequences. Through its standby partnership with UNFPA, NORCAP aims to mitigate harmful gender-related consequences in the wake of a disaster by supporting the GBV Area of Responsibility’s (GBV AoR) capacity building efforts. The REGA project, consisting of the Regional Gender-based Violence in Emergencies Advisor (GBViE) and Team Lead, is part of a strategic partnership between UNFPA, the GBV AoR and NORCAP.
Therefore, we are looking for a REGA who will develop the capacity of regional-, national-, and local actors strengthening GBV prevention and response, working through remote and in-country supporting GBV sub-clusters/cluster-like GBV working groups.
The selected candidate will be hosted by the UNFPA Regional Office in Bangkok. The GBV AoR has a global coordination team, regional technical teams cross five regions, and GBV coordinators across 32 cluster countries. This is an exciting position that combines leadership, strategic positioning as well as direct technical support to field colleagues on GBV coordination including prevention, response, and risk mitigation.
Moreover, you will ensure the sustainability of interventions by supporting inter-agency GBV prevention and response efforts and GBV sub-cluster coordination at national and sub-national levels. The REGA works with government disaster preparedness actors and disaster management agencies at regional and national/country-level. The REGA’s role is to support coordination of ministries and other relevant actors that are responsible for disaster preparedness, service delivery and coordination. In this role the REGA promotes institutional follow-up of mission recommendations and facilitates training-of-trainer workshops to national staff and local actors.
