Background:
The work of the OSCE Programme Office in Bishkek (POiB) focuses on a range of security issues, from countering terrorism, border security and transnational threats such as human trafficking, to developing the country’s regions, strengthening efforts to combat corruption on all levels, as well as supporting the reform of the justice sector, implementation of election reform, gender equality and building open and resilient societies.
The incumbent will be positioned within the Environmental section of the Economic and Environmental Department (EED). The section implements projects aimed at assisting the Host State in enhancing the capacities of the state institutions on environmental protection, monitoring, disaster risk reduction, awareness raising on environmental and climate change issues and development of the ‘green’ economy in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Main Purpose
The Programme Associate (PA) acts as a focal point responsible for implementing the programme objective that contributes to disaster risk management in co-operation with the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Kyrgyz Republic. The PA also supports the implementation of the Aarhus Convention through support for the functioning of the Aarhus Centres in Bishkek, Cholpon-Ata, and Naryn. The area of responsibility covers the delivery of project activities aimed at assisting the Host State in strengthening disaster risk management, raising the capacities of the state institutions, developing policies and implementing measures on disaster preparedness, early warning and emergency response. It also covers implementing activities to promote the Aarhus Convention and strengthening the capacities of local authorities and youth to address local and regional environmental challenges.
Working with limited supervision, the Programme Associate provides technical support and recommends ways of improvement for the implementation of the programme/project and collaboration with respective stakeholders by performing skilled, semi-professional functions of substantial variety and complexity that require the application of different and unrelated processes and methods and an understanding of a broad area of operation within the field relevant for the project, including proposing new areas of activity. PA also provides substantive input to project design, planning, delivery, monitoring, and reporting of project activities. He/she will thus be tasked to contribute to the achievement of the project’s performance indicators within the components of disaster risk management and support the implementation of the Aarhus Convention.
Work Relationships
The Programme Associate reports to the National Environmental Officer (NEO), while the Regional Development Officer acts as the second-level supervisor.
Internal contacts are mainly with other teams within EED, the Fund Administration Unit (FAU), the Public Information Unit, the Office of Head of Mission and others to provide advice or guidance related to project administration, including in relation to project documents, correspondence and expenditure, as well as to make administrative arrangements for the implementation of project activities. External contacts are mainly with state partners, such as the Supreme Court, Ministry of Emergency Situations, Office of the Prosecutor General, the High School of the Supreme Court, and non-state partners, such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and European Union Delegation in the Kyrgyz Republic, to coordinate project assistance and to make arrangements for potential joint implementation of project activities. The incumbent collaborates with the international and national experts contracted by the POiB to achieve the programme and project results.
