Cambodia has made strong development gains in recent years; however, many peopleparticularly women, persons with disabilities, marginalized groups, and those living in povertycontinue to face significant barriers to food security, nutrition, and resilience. Persistent inequalities, limited access to nutritious foods, climate-related shocks, and structural exclusion leave many populations at risk of being left behind.

This position is exclusively open to Swiss citizens. Candidates who do not fulfil this condition will not receive response.   Contexte operationnel La République centrafricaine (RCA) demeure confrontée à l'une des crises de déplacement les plus prolongées du continent africain. En janvier 2026, le pays comptait environ 430 000 personnes déplacées internes (PDI), tandis que près de 650 000 réfugiés centrafricains demeuraient dans les pays voisins. Dans le même temps, plus de 75 000 réfugiés centrafricains sont rentrés volontairement depuis 2017, principalement du Cameroun, de la République démocratique du Congo et de la République du Congo. La RCA accueille également plus de 65 000 réfugiés et demandeurs d'asile sur son territoire, dont une majorité de ressortissants soudanais. L'amélioration progressive de la situation sécuritaire dans plusieurs régions du pays, les avancées du processus de paix, le renforcement de la présence de l'État et la dynamique créée par les retours volontaires offrent aujourd'hui des opportunités importantes pour promouvoir des solutions durables aux déplacements forcés. Toutefois, la durabilité de ces solutions demeure étroitement liée à la capacité des acteurs nationaux et internationaux à répondre simultanément aux défis de protection, d'accès aux services sociaux de base, de cohésion sociale, de gouvernance locale et de développement économique. Afin d'apporter une réponse structurée à ces défis, le Gouvernement de la République centrafricaine a adopté la Stratégie nationale de solutions durables pour les personnes déplacées internes et les rapatriés 2024-2028 (SNSD). Cette stratégie constitue le cadre national de référence pour la recherche de solutions durables aux déplacements forcés et vise à favoriser le retour volontaire, la réintégration durable et l'inclusion socio-économique des populations déplacées, tout en renforçant la résilience des communautés hôtes. La mise en œuvre de la SNSD repose sur une approche intégrée associant les acteurs gouvernementaux, les collectivités territoriales, les agences des Nations Unies, les institutions financières internationales, les organisations non gouvernementales, les partenaires au développement et le secteur privé. Elle s'inscrit également dans les priorités du Plan National de Développement (PND) 2024-2028 et dans les engagements régionaux pris dans le cadre de la Déclaration de Yaoundé de 2022 sur les solutions pour les réfugiés, les déplacés internes et les retournés centrafricains. Dans ce contexte, le Gouvernement, avec l'appui du système des Nations Unies et de ses partenaires, a engagé une dynamique ambitieuse visant à accélérer les solutions durables à travers trois axes stratégiques complémentaires : (i) le renforcement de la gouvernance nationale et régionale des solutions durables ; (ii) l'accélération des retours volontaires et de la réintégration des réfugiés centrafricains ; et (iii) le développement de pôles territoriaux de retour et de développement permettant de concentrer les investissements dans les services sociaux de base, les infrastructures, les moyens de subsistance, la cohésion sociale et la gouvernance locale. Afin de soutenir cette dynamique et de renforcer la coordination stratégique entre les acteurs humanitaires, de développement, de paix et gouvernementaux, le Bureau du Coordonnateur résident et humanitaire souhaite recruter un(e) Conseiller(ère) en Solutions Durables chargé(e) d'appuyer la mise en œuvre de la SNSD, de promouvoir les approches intégrées de solutions durables et de renforcer les mécanismes de coordination et de partenariat nécessaires à leur réalisation.   Objet de la mission Soutenir le RC dans la coordination stratégique de l'Equipe de pays des Nations Unies (UNCT) en RCA, en appui à la mise en œuvre du Plan national de développement (PND 2024–2028) à travers le Plan-cadre de coopération des Nations Unies pour le développement durable (UNSDCF 2023-2029), dans lequel les solutions durables constituent un résultat collectif.     Objectifs ·     Appui stratégique et technique au RC/HC et à l'UNCT ·     Renforcement de l'appropriation nationale et locale des solutions durables ·     Partenariats, communication et gestion des connaissances   Responsabilites Sous la direction générale du RC/HC et la supervision directe du/de la Chef(fe) du RCO, le/La Conseiller(ère) travaillera avec les principales parties prenantes – en particulier les communautés, les autorités et les partenaires – afin d'appuyer l'UNCT et les mécanismes nationaux et locaux de coordination sur les solutions durables, notamment le Groupe de Travail sur les Solutions Durables (GTSD) et les groupes régionaux dédiés.
