Description du poste

Work Location: In-Person, Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire

Expected duration: 6 Months

Duties and Responsibilities: The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities. UN-Habitat is the focal point for all urbanization and human settlement matters within the UN system. UN-Habitat works with partners to build inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and communities. UN-Habitat promotes urbanization as a positive transformative force for people and communities, reducing inequality, discrimination and poverty. The UN-Habitat Regional Office for Africa (ROAF) supports African countries developing human settlements projects to address fast urbanization of the continent and achieve sustainable development by focusing on challenges faced by cities in Africa. In recent years, the Côte d’Ivoire Country Office was marked by the reinforcement of the organization's presence within the UN ecosystem and the facilitation and strengthening of dialogue with several continental and regional organizations, such as the African Development Bank (AfDB) headquarter. The Cote d’Ivoire portfolio has recently increased with active projects in waste management, housing, climate change and costal resilience. Moreover, recently an MoU was signed between UN HABITAT and the Government of Cote d’Ivoire to strengthen the areas of collaboration in various sectors as assistance on housing and urban policy development. Also, various interaction between UN-Habitat and the District of Abidjan happened on the issue of slums upgrading. Beyond the management of ongoing projects, the resource mobilization and application to calls for proposal remain a key element of the country office.
