Background
In the last decade, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has been facing several significant extreme climate and weather events, manifested through more frequent occurrence of disasters. The extent to which Bosnia and Herzegovina is exposed to climate change and natural hazards was shown in the May 2014 floods that hit the country with an unprecedented magnitude. Approximately a quarter of the country’s territory and one million people, representing some 27% of its population, was affected. The floods particularly affected vulnerable population groups, namely 78,564 unemployed, 60,000 children and 10% of persons with disabilities. The total damages amounted to approximately 1.7 billion USD, while the economic losses exceeded USD 1.5 billion. More than 50 local governments experienced a near-total devastation of their service infrastructure, to include hospitals, schools, and local administration centers.
Authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the UN have gradually increased involvement in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) by implementing a wide range of programmes in recent years, aiming at alleviating damages inflicted by natural and man-made hazards. While the country achieved some progress in disaster management sector in recent years, effective management of disasters and climate change risks requires a whole-of-government approach and strengthened engagement of development sectors to minimize the discounting of future risk, as well as to ensure transparency and accountability as risks are generated, transferred, and retained.
The current United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for BiH places importance on DRR, while the Joint UN Work Plans 2017-2018 demonstrate the evolving nature of DRR programming across UN agencies, as well as its multidimensional positioning into the three thematic areas of the UN, namely: i) rule of law and human security; ii) sustainable and equitable development; and iii) employment and social Inclusion. The cross-cutting nature of DRR encouraged UN agencies to pursue greater synergies between sectors and programmes to support sustainable socioeconomic development of the country.
Therefore, the UN Country Team in Bosnia and Herzegovina developed a Joint Programme on DRR (JP) to systematically undertake coordinated, multi-sectoral and concrete risk reduction and preparedness measures in order to increase social and economic resilience to disasters and climate change of at-risk population in BiH.
The First Phase of JP aims to address key DRR priorities identified by local governments and various stakeholders across numerous sectors: protection and rescue, education, social and child protection, health, and agriculture. It puts special emphasis on improving local DRR Coordination Mechanisms, as well as affirming risk -informed strategic planning processes with focus on the most vulnerable population groups through implementation of pilot DRR measures in different sectors, in line with municipal risk assessments findings and DRR priorities.
The JP represents the combined efforts of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in partnership with the Government of Switzerland, being the key donor of this initiative.
UNDP, as the Convening Agent and on behalf of Participating UN Organizations (PUNOs) – UNICEF, UNFPA, FAO, UNESCO, is looking to recruit a Joint Programme Coordinator.
