<p><br></p><p>General context of the project While the armed conflict entered its 12th year, Yemen remains one of the largest humanitarian crisis. The country s deteriorating economy, the protracted conflict and crumbling basic services are exacerbating humanitarian needs across the country. Meanwhile, climate shocks, increased regional tensions and chronic underfunding of critical humanitarian sectors are further worsening people s vulnerability and suffering. Four years since the UN- brokered truce, international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) operating in Yemen warn that humanitarian conditions are more fragile than at any point since the peak years of the response. Over 22.2 million people 1 continue to face dire humanitarian conditions, struggling to meet basic needs and access essential services amid protracted crisis, economic deterioration, aid cuts, displacement and climate-related shocks. Furthermore, the escalating conflict in the Middle East and the wider region threatens to exacerbate the dire economic situation and could trigger a resumption of large-scale armed conflict within Yemen. These regional shifts risk disrupting vital humanitarian and commercial supply chains and inflating the cost of essential goods. INTERSOS, in collaboration with local partners, has been providing essential health, nutrition, protection, water and sanitation, as well as livelihoods support for the vulnerable people across Yemen since 2008. While INTERSOS operational presence has been impacted by the signficant funding downsize in the last few years, the integrated programming serving the most vulnerable communities (IDPs, migrants, people at hightened protection risks) continues providing essential lifesaving aid.</p><p>General purpose of the position Support the Head of Mission in the development, definition and management of the mission program in accordance with INTERSOS strategies, plans and policies.

Over 80 percent of Yemen’s population is estimated to need humanitarian assistance, and more than 2.5 million Yemenis have become IDPs. The ongoing conflict has destroyed much of the institutional ability of key ministries, governorates, and local authorities to deliver essential social services to citizens. Public service restoration is also essential for a smooth transition to recovery, as a political agreement is being negotiated. Combining communities’ own efforts with whatever limited state institutional capacity remains are needed to both curtail further humanitarian deterioration and the political ramifications of total state collapse. Yemen is one of the most food insecure countries in the world. Around 20 million people (70 percent of the population) are facing hunger, a 13 percent increase from 2017. The current conflict has led to a decline in the national economy. Gross Domestic Product was cut in half since 2015, and more than 80 percent of the population living below the poverty line. The fighting around the country’s seaports and the ensuing suspension of commercial imports and supply shortages, the depreciation of the Yemeni riyal, which is now worth barely a third of 2015 level, have combined to push the food prices up. &nbsp;Only half of health facilities are functioning, and many Yemenis in need of critical treatments especially for malnutrition are too poor to access the ones that are open. Beyond those at risk of famine, many millions with only emergency food assistance to survive, face a collapse in their immune systems – especially children and the elderly – increasing their vulnerability to malnutrition, cholera and other diseases. Chronic water shortages exacerbate food insecurity and risk of famine in areas where people depend on agriculture for food and income.</p><br> <p>This heightened crisis is calling for scaled-up support to address the immediate needs while also leveraging and enhancing national capacities and systems for resilience-building for populations in Yemen with increased vulnerabilities that can complement a largely insufficient humanitarian response and at the same time for the need to maintain the existing capacities and mechanisms at local and national level to maintain the foundation for future reconstruction and recovery.</p><br> <p>The World Bank funded projects aim to Improve access to food and, nutritious diets, social protection, economic opportunities, food security and effective management of water sector in Yemen. This is done through several activities including infrastructure rehabilitation, support to improve agriculture production and quality by reducing post-harvest losses and improving climate resilience and access to markets</p><br> <p>While ensuring direct support in a fragile context, UNDP, in partnership with the WB is also strategizing to ensure that short term benefits are translated into longer term development impact.<br> &nbsp;</p><br> <p><strong>Position Purpose</strong></p><br> <p>UNDP is seeking to recruit a Chief Technical Advisor to manage three World Bank funded projects.&nbsp;S/he shall work under guidance of the Deputy Resident Representative for Programme, and shall provide strategic advice and technical oversight for the projects under his/her responsibility to ensure that all outputs are of high quality and consistent with the delivery of results according to the Project Documents and Project Result Frameworks and will provide coordination and technical guidance to projects team consisting for successful implementation of the outputs and activities. He/she shall engage proactively with Yemeni institutions partners and provide guidance on further engagement and programme development.</p><br> <p>The Chief Technical Advisor shall keep abreast of good international practices in the area of projects under responsibility and integrate/build similar practices within the projects, build and manage partnerships, facilitate knowledge management and sharing and support and facilitate the elaboration of other initiatives of UNDP.</p><br> <p>UNDP adopts a portfolio approach to accommodate changing business needs and leverage linkages across interventions to achieve its strategic goals. This is a recognition of interconnected nature of development risks &amp; crises that the world is facing and that call for assembling of multidisciplinary teams for an integrated &amp; systemic response.
