Org. Setting and Reporting
- The position is located in the Operations and Advocacy Division (OAD), Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Panama City, Panama. OCHA is the part of the United Nations Secretariat responsible for bringing together humanitarian actors to ensure a coherent response to emergencies. OCHA also ensures there is a framework within which each actor can contribute to the overall response efforts. OCHA's mission is to mobilize and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors in order to alleviate human suffering in disasters and emergencies; advocate the rights of people in need; promote preparedness and prevention and facilitate sustainable solutions. The Humanitarian Affairs Officer/Head of Humanitarian Financing Unit will be responsible for the management of the Latin America and the Caribbean Humanitarian Fund (LAC HF), which has been established in 2024 by the ERC to provide a stable and flexible platform for donors addressing emergencies across the region, including sudden-onset disasters, escalating crises, and ongoing humanitarian situations. The LAC HF will dynamically adjust its Country Envelopes based on evolving needs, donor interest and partner capacity. Each Envelope is managed by the respective UN Resident Coordinator or Humanitarian Coordinator (RC/HCs), with support from an in-country Advisory Board, and working with national coordination mechanisms. While Colombia and Haiti have been prioritized initially and based on their success over time, the LAC HF could expand to other countries based on humanitarian needs and donor interest. This position requires regular missions in Colombia and Haiti, and other LAC countries, as needed. This position-specific job opening is being advertised for the position of Humanitarian Affairs Officer/Head of Humanitarian Financing Unit in Panama City, Panama. The incumbent will report to the Head of Office, OCHA Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (ROLAC).
