The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is an operational arm of the United Nations, supporting the successful implementation of its partners' peacebuilding, humanitarian and development projects around the world. UNOPS supports partners to build a better future by providing services that increase the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of peace building, humanitarian and development projects. Mandated as a central resource of the United Nations, UNOPS provides sustainable project management, procurement and infrastructure services to a wide range of governments, donors and United Nations organizations.
UNOPS hosts the Stop TB Partnership Secretariat (STBP) in Geneva, Switzerland. The vision of the Stop TB Partnership is to realize the goal of elimination of Tuberculosis (TB) as a public health problem and, ultimately, to obtain a world free of TB by ensuring that every TB patient has access to effective diagnosis, treatment and cure; stopping transmission of TB; reducing the inequitable social and economic toll of TB; and developing and implementing new preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic tools and strategies. The Stop Partnership is uniquely positioned to support the development and further implementation by partners of the current and future Global Plan, acting as a coordinator and catalyst for the range of partners engaged in the fight against TB.
Founded in 2001, the Stop TB Partnership's mission is to serve every person affected by TB and ensure that high-quality treatment is available to all who need it. Stop TB partners include international and technical organizations, government programmes, research and funding agencies, foundations, NGOs, civil society and community groups and the private sector.
Under the overall guidance of the Head of Governance at Stop TB and the supervision of the Office of the Secretary of Health (SoH) in The Philippines, the Liaison Assistant is responsible for providing administrative support to ensure effective and efficient liaison between the Secretary of Health (SoH) and the Stop TB Partnership Secretariat with full confidentiality in all aspects of the assignment, and maintenance of protocol procedures. In the discharge of her/his duties, the incumbent liaises with UNOPS programme support colleagues in order to ensure consistent service delivery to the SoH office. The incumbent promotes a quality and results-oriented approach.
