Description of Saferworld Somalia/land programme:

Saferworld is an independent non-governmental organisation that works to prevent and reduce violent conflict and promote cooperative approaches to security. 

We work with civil society, governments and international organisations to encourage and support effective policies and practices through advocacy, research and policy development, and through supporting the development of local capacities and structures.

Saferworld has been working in Africa since 1997, with a primary focus on East Africa and the Horn region. 

We have well-established programmes in Kenya, Uganda, Somalia and Sudan.

In addition, Saferworld supports regional and international conflict prevention and security processes. Saferworld’s headquarters is in London, with a regional office in Nairobi, a Somalia/land office in Hargeisa, and country offices in Kampala and Juba. 

The Somalia/land programme is managed from Saferworld’s Nairobi office.

Saferworld’s programme of work in Somalia/land has three components. 

The first aims to strengthen the participation of Somali non-state actors (NSA) in decision-making on peace, security and development. Key themes in this project are participatory decision-making, inclusiveness and capacity building of ‘platform’ structures so that they more effectively channel NSA voices in policy dialogues. 

The second entails engagement through civil society on democratisation processes in Somalia and Somaliland inclusive of the Somaliland 2017 elections and the Somalia 2016 political transition process. The third strand relates to research into federalisation and reconciliation in Jubaland. 

The post will be dedicated to the first programmatic aim, but will engage with other components as and where required.

Job purpose: The primary purpose of this position is to coordinate activities carried out under Saferworld’s Somalia/land Non-State Actors project in support of programme objectives. 

The position has a particular focus on:

• Supporting NSA partners in Hargeisa, Garowe and Mogadishu in institutional organisation and capacity building
• Coordinating relevant Saferworld led activities with key partner agencies
• Supporting the monitoring of project activities conducted both by Saferworld and partner agencies
• Supporting NSAs to develop and implement programme development and fundraising initiatives
• Supporting NSAs to develop and implement monitoring, evaluation and learning within their programmes
• Supporting research into governance, justice, reconciliation and democratisation as and where required
• Supporting project reporting and documentation requirements as per project needs.

Key areas of responsibility and related duties:

• Ensure timely and high quality completion of planned activities
• Monitor and periodically report on activities and progress towards results

• Provide regular internal progress reports
• Assist in developing narrative reports to donors and other related documents as required.

Ensure partner and Saferworld reports and documentation are collated and managed.

3: Ensure effective management of project finances

4: Support organisational strategy development

• Company: United Nations Office at Nairobi
• Location: Nairobi, Nairobi County, Kenya
• State: Nairobi
• Job type: Full-Time
• Job category: IT/Telecom Jobs in Kenya

• A current staff member who holds a fixed-term, permanent or continuing appointment may apply for temporary positions no more than one level above his or her current grade. However, a current staff member who holds an appointment at the G-6 or G-7 level may also apply to temporary positions in the Professional category up to and including the P-3 level, subject to meeting all eligibility and other requirements for the position. A staff member holding a temporary appointment shall be regarded as an external candidate when applying for other positions, and may apply for other temporary positions at any level, subject to section 5.7 below and staff rule 4.16 (b) (ii). Therefore, a staff member holding a temporary appointment in the General Service or related categories may only apply to positions within those categories. For full information on eligibility requirements, please refer to section 5 of ST/AI/2010/4Rev.1 on Temporary Appointments. In its resolution 66/234, the General Assembly further ‘stressed that the Secretary-General should not recur to the practice of temporarily filling posts in the Professional and higher categories with General Service staff members who have not passed the General Service to Professional category examination other than on an exceptional basis, and requests the Secretary-General to ensure that temporary occupation of such posts by the General Service staff shall not exceed a period of one year, effective 1 January 2013…’ Consequently, eligible candidates in the General Service or related categories for temporary job openings in the Professional category that have not passed the competitive examination may be selected only on an exceptional basis endorsed by the Office of Human Resources Management where no other suitable candidate could be identified.
• Upon separation from service, including, but not limited to, expiration or termination of, or resignation from, a fixed-term, continuing or permanent appointment, a former staff member will be ineligible for re-employment on the basis of a temporary appointment for a period of 31 days following the separation. In the case of separation from service on retirement, a former staff member will be ineligible for re-employment for a period of three months following the separation. This equally applies, mutatis mutandis, with respect to a former or current staff member who has held or holds an appointment in another entity applying the United Nations Staff Regulations and Rules and who applies for a temporary position with the Secretariat.
• Retirees above the mandatory age of separation who wish to be considered for the current temporary job opening must indicate the reason for their last separation as ‘retirement.’ Such retirees shall not be employed by the Organization, unless (a) the operational requirements of the Organization cannot be met by staff members who are qualified and available to perform the required functions; and (b) the proposed employment would not adversely affect the career development or redeployment opportunities of other staff members and represents both a cost-effective and operationally sound solution to meet the needs of the service.
• Subject to the funding source of the position, this temporary job opening may be limited to candidates based at the duty station.
• While this temporary assignment may provide the successful applicant with an opportunity to gain new work experience, the selection for this position is for a limited period and has no bearing on the future incumbency of the post. An external candidate selected for this position is bound by the prevailing condition of the staff selection system under ST/AI/2010/3, as amended, and ST/AI/2010/4/Rev.1. A staff member holding a temporary appointment who is recruited in the Professional and above categories on a temporary appointment, and placed on a position authorized for one year or longer may not apply for or be reappointed to his/her current position within six months of the end of his/her current service. This provision does not apply to staff members holding temporary appointments and placed on positions authorized for one year or more in duty stations authorized for peacekeeping operations or special political missions.
• The expression ‘Internal candidates’, shall mean staff members who have been recruited after a competitive examination under staff rule 4.16 or after the advice of a central review body under staff rule 4.15.
• Please note that candidates will be required to meet the requirements of Article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter as well as the requirements of the position. The United Nations is committed to the highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity for all its human resources, including but not limited to respect for international human rights and humanitarian law. Candidates may be subject to screening against these standards, including but not limited to whether they have committed, or are alleged to have committed criminal offences and/or violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law.
• For information on special post allowance, please refer to ST/AI/1999/17. For more details on the administration of temporary appointments please refer to ST/AI/2010/4/Rev.1.
• The Staff Regulations, Staff Rules and administrative issuances governing staff appointments can be viewed at: http://www.un.org/hr_handbook/English
• Staff members of the United Nations common system organizations who will reach the mandatory age of separation or retirement within the duration of the current temporary need period are not eligible to apply.
• Staff members are not eligible to apply for the current temporary job opening if they are unable to serve the specified duration of temporary need before reaching the mandatory age of separation. Submitting an application or selection for the current temporary job opening does not delay or increase the mandatory age of separation.
