This UNV assignment will be part of OHCHR’s Field Operations and Technical Cooperation Division (FOTCD). FOTCD coordinates the development and implementation of OHCHR’s country engagement strategies. The Division leads and coordinates the provision of substantive and operational support worldwide, including to human rights field presences, through identifying human rights challenges and opportunities in given country contexts, including key gaps, areas for engagement and strategies to address these, in close cooperation with national, regional and international partners. As OHCHR’s operational arm, the Division is called upon to react promptly to human rights crisis situations through, for instance, supporting the establishment and deployment of Commissions of Inquiry, fact-finding missions and monitoring missions, as well as responding to humanitarian crises. The Division also supports the management and operationalization of the Voluntary Fund for Technical Cooperation and acts as a Secretariat of its Board of Trustees.

Specifically, a donor has requested a project proposal to be submitted in Spanish. The proposal is based on the work of OHCHR in a country in Latin America, and outlines the ways in which OHCHR contributes to reducing inequality (SDG 10).
