The expected areas of work are following (A), (B) and (C).
(A) Regional programme on Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE)
The PVE project articulates a development response and addresses structural, causative or perpetuating factors. The initiatives focus on twelve (12) countries including: countries at the epicenter of the crisis; neighboring countries affected by violent extremism and countries at risk. The initiative promotes a regional approach given cross border and sub-regional dynamics demanding a coordinated regional approach.
The incumbent will provide technical and advisory support to the UNDP Country offices, Regional Organizations and National Governments with respect to implementation of this project, Support development of regional and national strategies/action plans which articulate a development response to addressing the growth of radicalization and violent extremism, support the implementation of Project Activities and implementation at the Regional Level and Support development of regional and national strategies/action plans which articulate a development response to addressing the growth of radicalization and violent extremism.
