Вакансия Ukraine Country Technical Lead - FEWS NET

Описание вакансии

FEWS NET’s objective is to produce timely, evidence-based decision support to enable the efficient allocation of humanitarian assistance on the basis of need.

Based on an in-depth understanding of local livelihoods, FEWS NET monitors information and data on factors that affect food security, such as conflict, weather and agroclimatology, crops, pasture, markets and trade, and nutrition. The FEWS NET DST produces regular reports, including Food Security Outlooks and Outlook Updates, emergency alerts, market and price updates, and targeted analyses. FEWS NET makes reports available at www.fews.net and distributes them globally to governments, relief agencies, and other organizations engaged in humanitarian response and development programs.

Position Description

The FEWS NET DS Team maintains virtual and physical field offices in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and eastern Europe. Six regional offices coordinate and oversee the technical and administrative management of over 40 country offices. Each country office falls into one of three tiers, depending on the complexity of the context and operating environment, with Tier 1 countries requiring a larger staffing footprint, and Tier 3 countries requiring a smaller staffing footprint. There are four main technical positions at the country level: Country Technical Lead (CTL); Country Technical Manager (CTM); and Country Technical Senior Specialist for Food Security (CTSS-FS); and Country Technical Specialist for Food Security and Instability & Conflict (CTSS-FS&IC). The CTL serves as the technical analysis leader within the country across all three tiers. Tier 1 and 2 countries have a CTL, CTM, and different numbers of CTSSs. As a default, Tier 3 countries have a CTL and one CTSS, although in select cases, they may have more than one. In addition, the CTL is responsible for supporting and supervising all staff in the country, including the Country Technical Manager (CTM), the Country Technical Senior Specialists (CTSSs) and others, in the following activities:

Efficient, focused acute food insecurity monitoring, data collection, assessment, and early warning analysis.
Effective communication of early warning analysis to the USAID mission, partners and decision-makers through high-quality reports and participation in briefings and formal and informal meetings
Close collaboration with key partners, such as host government ministries, UN agencies, and international and local NGOs, among others
Supporting and helping to build strategic partner networks by addressing identified gaps in effective early warning systems and through supporting network capacity building efforts spearheaded by FEWS NET
Project administration and management at the national level
Monthly meetings with USAID mission staff
Regular participation in IPC/CH analyses
Regular collection of data and field information, as required, and uploaded to the FEWS NET Data Warehouse (FDW)
Coordination and effective collaboration with other FEWS NET mechanisms
The CTL is responsible for supporting, supervising, and providing quality control for national and sub-national level

Location and Reporting

The CTL will be based in Kyiv, Ukraine and is directly supervised by the Regional Technical Lead (RTL). For technical activities, the CTL collaborates and coordinates with the in-country CTM and CTSSs, regional technical senior specialists in the region, and relevant home office-based food security analysts. For office administration and financial management, the CTL collaborates with the country-level or regional office administration and finance staff and the relevant Washington D.C.-based Project Management Units. The CTL will be required to travel regularly within the country, and some regional and international travel may also be required, security permitting.
