Contract typeInternational ICA
Contract levelIICA-3
Duration1 year renewable subject to satisfactory performance and the availability of funds
Application Deadline: 17-May-2021.
Functional Responsibilities
As part of the World Bank’s requirements set out in the Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), project implementation needs to be supported by a rigorous Security ManagementPlan (SMP). The SMP is to set out the ways in which the Government of the Republic of Mozambique will ensure security protection, emergency responses and duty of care to all project workers and project-affected parties.
Given that the Project will be implemented across a broad geographical scope, and in a highly fragile environment, the SMP needs to be based on a detailed Security Risk Assessment.
Potential security risks and impacts of the Project are related to ensuring security for project operations including the protection of project workers, beneficiaries and other project-affected persons; challenges in access to beneficiaries for meaningful stakeholder and community engagements as well as grievance redress and monitoring due to insecurity; and risks emanating from the deployment of armed security guards in project interventions.
UNOPS is looking for the services of a highly skilled Security Risk Management Advisor-Retainer that will be contracted to develop the two products.
The Security Risk Management Advisor-Retainer will report to the Senior Project Manager, and collaborate closely with the UNOPS Environmental and Social safeguards team and other Implementing partners in the preparation of the Security Risk Assessment and the Security Management Plan.
Review all project documentation and liaise with relevant stakeholders (UN, Government, Security forces operational in the area, private sector where relevant)
