UNDP oglas za posao: Mine Action Officer
Agency: UNDP
Title: Mine Action Officer
Job ID: 7571
Practice Area – Job Family: Crisis Prevention and Recover
Vacancy End Date (Midnight New York, USA): 25/01/2017
Duty Station: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Education & Work Experience: G-Bachelor’s Level Degree – 5 year(s) experience, I-Master’s Level Degree – 3 year(s) experience
Grade: SB4
Contract Duration: 12 months
BIH citizens only. Only successful candidates will be contacted.
Background
Following the cessation of hostilities and signing of the Dayton peace accord the United Nations set up a mine action centre (UNMAC) in 1996 to conduct mine action in BiH. All technical support at the outset from the international community was humanitarian in nature and focused on implementing and/or capacity building at the technical level to conduct mine clearance, minefield marking and mine risk education. BHMAC was formed in 1998 with two mine action operational centres in Sarajevo and Banja Luka and a central body responsible for coordination in Sarajevo. Although the BHMAC initially provided a number of demining teams, it was essentially a coordinating body to oversee the work of all other field assets which included national and international commercial companies, national and international NGOs, entity Armies and civil protection
At the end of 2015, the Mine Action Centre of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHMAC) reported a total contamination of 1,176.5km2 or 2.3 % of the total surface area of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). A general assessment of the mine situation in BiH identified 1,417 communities as affected by landmines and Unexploded Ordnance (UXO). The assessment also states that landmine and UXO contaminated locations directly affect around 538,500 citizens, which is approximately 15% of the total number of citizens of BiH. The contaminated areas present a direct hazard to the safety of citizens and communities living in close proximity. These communities are also denied the safe use of contaminated lands, thereby hindering socio-economic development activities, negatively impacting on livelihoods and employment opportunities, and leading to the community’s marginalization and exclusion from growth and sustainable development.
To address these challenges, the Mine Action Governance and Management (MAGMA) Project has been launched, supported by the Ministry of Civil Affairs BiH and implemented by UNDP. The Mine Action Governance and Management project will assist the mine action authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina to increase transparency, improve planning capabilities and implement contemporary mine action standards for an accelerated pace of mine clearance. It builds on the activities implemented in the past that resulted in reconvening the Board of Donors, improvements in the human resource management processes and mine action standardization within BHMAC.
