UNFPA has committed to scale up its humanitarian response and increase organizational capacity with a focus on preventing and responding to gender-based violence and addressing sexual and reproductive health needs in emergencies. To support this organizational need, the development of a Global Emergency Roster will ensure UNFPA has access to a pool of qualified individuals to deploy for short-term emergency assignments (up to three months for internal staff and up to six months for non staff). UNFPA invites suitable, interested and available personnel (staff members and current UNFPA consultant contract holders), as well as, qualified independent humanitarian professionals to apply for registration in the Global Emergency Roster in the following areas where our current need is strongest: Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Emergencies, Sexual and Reproductive Health, Operations, Senior Emergency Coordination, Humanitarian Coordination, Communications specialists and Human Resources in Emergencies experts.
As part of the selection process for participation in the 2020 workshop, which is currently in a five-day format, (with final dates to be confirmed, most likely June 2020) participants may be invited to participate in a video interview, technical assessment and written essay. In preparation for the workshop, selected candidates will also be asked to complete up to 40 hours of pre-learning exercises that consist of relevant E-learning course(s), webinars and associated readings. The training will have a strong focus on our intervention areas of GBV in emergencies, as well as SRH in emergencies however, candidates will be assessed according to the profile for which he/she is being considered for surge assignment.
Candidates who successfully complete the training and are technically cleared by the attending assessors during the in-person training will be added to the Global Emergency Roster and considered for surge deployment in an emergency setting.
Candidates may apply in either English or French.
