Panamá, Panamá United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) A tiempo completo

**Background**

**Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and**inspiring stories.**

The Latin America and the Caribbean Humanitarian Fund (LAC HF), managed by OCHA (Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) from its Regional Office in Panama, through a dedicated Regional Humanitarian Financing Unit (RHFU).

The LAC HF has been established in 2024 by the ERC (Emergency Relief Coordinator) to provide a stable and flexible platform for donors addressing emergencies across the region, including sudden-onset disasters, escalating crises, and ongoing humanitarian situations. With current funding mostly coming from a handful of donors, supplemented by a broader range of emergency-specific public and private contributors, LAC HF seeks engagement from non-traditional donors.

Managed from OCHA's Regional Office in Panama, LAC HF dynamically adjusts 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, with support from an in-country Advisory Board, and working with
national coordination mechanisms.

Colombia and Haiti have been prioritized initially and based on their success over time, LAC HF could expand to other countries based on humanitarian needs and donor interest. This means LAC HF could possibly expand to support responses to phenomena like El Niño or hurricanes affecting multiple countries. Additionally, LAC HF and CBPFs (Country-Based Pooled Funds ) are complementary to one another, with LAC HF Envelopes potentially evolving into full CBPFs (Country-Based Pooled Funds) as needed, or CBPFs (Country-Based Pooled Funds) scaling back into LAC HF Envelopes, depending on the context.

**Position Purpose**

Under the guidance and direct supervision of the Pooled Fund Manager and Head of Office (OCHA ROLAC), the Associate Programme Officer is responsible for the implementation of the programmatic and monitoring functions of the Regional Humanitarian Financing Unit (RHFU), including both funding mechanisms led by ROLAC (Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean): the LAC HF (with country envelopes in Colombia and Haiti), and CERF (Central Emergency Response Fund). The Programme and Monitoring Officer leads the formulation, management, and evaluation of programme and monitoring activities within his/her portfolio; and provides advice services.

The Associate Programme Officer works in close collaboration with other units and field offices within OCHA, programme staff in other UN Agencies, OCHA and CBPF (Country-Based Pooled Funds) section staff in HQ, cluster coordinators, technical advisors/experts, partners and donors to ensure successful processes within the RHFU and LAC HF, including the country envelopes in Colombia and Haiti; and CERF when necessary.

**Duties and Responsibilities**

1.) **Substantively contribute to the RHFU: Fund Management and Coordination**:

- Support and implement standardized policy in line with the CBPF (Country-Based Pooled Funds) Global Guidelines and HQ guidance.
- Liaise with NGOs, UN partners as well as clusters and OCHA field offices with country envelopes to follow-up on project progress and overall Fund progress.
- Contribute to ensure proper communication and support during the allocation process of LAC HF and CERF to all stakeholders.
- Liaise with and provide necessary support to recipient organizations of the Fund throughout the life cycle of the projects, promoting coherence between humanitarian needs and response.
- Contribute to organize field missions, conferences, meetings, and events related to LAC HF under the guidance of the Pooled Fund Manager.
- Under the guidance of the Pooled Fund Manager and in collaboration with other OCHA units and field offices, as well as with support from relevant OCHA HQ sections, contribute to document and disseminate results, best practices and results of the Fund across internal and broader audiences through information and communication products/pieces (i.e., bulletins, feature stories, photographs/videos, websites, etc.).
- Contribute, when necessary, on the CERF allocation processes and Coordination mechanisms and allocation reporting to HQ.

2.) **Support the fund allocation process from the design of the allocation strategy and throughout the project cycle**:

- Contribute to the process of Internal Capacity Assessments for new partners
