Job description

Org. Setting and Reporting

 

This position is located in the Peer-2-Peer team, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), in Geneva. 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 Peer-2-Peer team (P2P) is an inter-agency team which includes senior NGO and UN colleagues with extensive experience in humanitarian operations. It reports to the Emergency Directors Group (EDG) Chair and is a component of the IASC. The P2P provides peer-to-peer support for country operations to bring about a better collective (system-wide) humanitarian response. Its primary focus is to support Humanitarian Coordinators (HCs) and Humanitarian Country Teams (HCTs) to strengthen collective humanitarian response in field operations. It conducts missions with teams of senior UN and NGO peers that use a bottom-up and participatory change management approach to identify specific HCT actions that will strengthen the ability to deliver assistance effectively and collectively. The Peer 2 Peer Project has a secondary focus on Peer knowledge sharing and learning. The project shares practical examples between HCs and HCTs from different field operations, of how complex problems have been tackled. Learning products can take the form of a short explanatory note or a case study; or it can be in the form of a webinar where HCs and senior NGO officials from the field talk about the ways in which they have overcome challenges.
