UN Resident Coordinator’s Office Staff Roster for Strategic Planners & Economists

An exciting opportunity to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals at the country level

UN Country Teams at the forefront

The UN system is determined to boost its capacity to better respond to needs of countries as they strive to deliver on the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. This comprehensive agenda to improve people’s lives while protecting the planet—ensuring that no one is left behind— requires new approaches to leadership with a revamped, joined-up UN, working with partners at the national and local levels. Our enhanced UN Country Teams will deliver shared results, anchored in a redesigned UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), which will become the UN’s key instrument to respond to national needs and the social, economic and environmental priorities.

Be a part of it: apply to join a new roster to boost Resident Coordinator offices

To fulfill this mission, we are creating a talent roster for dynamic and results-focused individuals to fill international positions in UN Resident Coordinator Offices in countries—at the nerve-centre of strategic coordination and advice, supporting the Resident Coordinator in bridging and connecting the work of agencies, funds and programmes to respond to the sustainable development imperative.

Deployments will begin in the third quarter of 2019. The roster is geared towards people willing to move within two months of being notified.

We are looking for candidates for the following job profiles:

As well as strengthening capacity in UN Resident Coordinator Offices, the rosters will be crucial to improve collaboration between UN agencies, funds and programmes on the ground. Incumbents will gain invaluable country insight and inter-agency experience that can be a stepping-stone to more senior positions inside and outside the UN.
