Agency: UNDP
Title: Assistant to Project Manager
Job ID: 9911
Practice Area – Job Family: Capacity Development
Vacancy End Date (Midnight New York, USA): 31/05/2017
Duty Station: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Education & Work Experience: C-HS Graduate or Equivalent – 2 year(s) experience
Grade: GP
Vacancy Type: National Regular UN Volunteer
Contract Duration: 12 months
Candidates should be citizens of BiH or possess a valid working permit.
Background
The UNDP’s Social Inclusion/Democratic Governance Sector aims to decisively promote social inclu-sion and empower the most vulnerable, as well as to enhance access to social and economic benefits to marginalised people and communities through specifically tailored sector initiatives and other UNDP sectors’ programmes, fully utilizing CO knowledge and experiences.
Within that sector is the Strengthening the Role of Local Communities (Mjesne Zajednice/MZs) Project, which is a joint initiative of the Government of Switzerland and the Government of Sweden, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in partnership with the Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Ministry of Justice of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Ministry for Administration and Local Self-Government of Republika Srpska, the Government of Brčko District and both Associations of Municipalities and Cities.
The Project is geared towards strengthening local communities (MZs) and will empower women and include the marginalized groups into economic, social and political mainstream. The overall Project objective is to contribute to better quality of life of BiH citizens through increased democratic participation and accountability, enhanced local services and infrastructure and social inclusion. The chosen means to achieve this goal is through encouraging community-led local development and revitalising community government by MZs, as the places where government comes closest to the people and as grassroots organisations that serve communities of around 1,000 people, with the possibility for real participation and joint action.
The three specific Project outcomes are:
Outcome 1: Citizens and governments are committed to realise the jointly agreed upon new inclusive and gender-sensitive vision of MZs in BiH, as foundation for more participatory and accountable local governance in BiH.
Outcome 2: Pro-active, capacitated and inter-connected MZs contribute to downward respon-siveness of local governments and improved service delivery.
Outcome 3: A new regulatory framework for functional MZs developed by governments ena-bles more inclusive, gender-sensitive and accountable local governance in BiH.
The Project’s implementing strategy will be to support and drive forward change from bottom-up by engaging citizens and communities and giving them a voice in local governance processes, and by revitalising MZs as spaces where citizens come together to interact and involve, to identify and solve problems, to transmit their concerns to the local government and participate in the ways it makes its plans, spends their money and takes decisions that affect people’s lives. In doing so, the Project places MZs and their communities at the centre of its work, while also relying on a broad range of relevant stakeholders to sustain and expand Project results and increase democratic accountability. This approach will be capitalised upon to address the current flaws in the system, and to build momentum and drive forward the process of local governance reform to produce long term and sustainable change. To reach this goal, the Project will utilise existing legitimate local governance structures and processes to implement planned interventions, thus ensuring that improvements related to capacity of MZs and local governments, quality of service outcomes, enabling MZ-related regulatory envi-ronment and accountability of municipal decision-making processes are embedded and sustained within the system. The Project will work with app. 120 MZs country-wide and app. 20 local governments and will seek to develop partnership with civil society organizations.
This UN volunteer assignment relates specifically to the Project’s work implemented under Outcome 2. The UN volunteer will be fulfilling tasks within the specific project, Strengthening the Role of Local Communities. During the performance of the tasks, the UN volunteer will also be dealing and interacting with the representatives of the Local Governance coordinators, and Local Communities representatives as well as independent consultants engaged within MZ project. The UN Volunteer will work in close corroboration with MZ project associate and all MZ project staff. S/he will be based in the UNDP BiH office in Sarajevo with some field travel.
