Established in 2009, UNOPS Ethiopia Office has been providing services
to various partners, including the government of Ethiopia, UN agencies such as
WHO, UNHCR and WFP, and other international organizations. In 2014, the UNOPS
Executive Director decided to establish the UNOPS Ethiopia Operational Hub
(ETOH), which manages and coordinates the UNOPS activities in Ethiopia, Sudan
and Djibouti.
UNOPS ETOH activities range from tailor-made administration, operations,
human resources and logistics support for implementation of development and
humanitarian projects; infrastructure and procurement management services; and
advisory services to partners to facilitate effective procurement, supply and
financial management.
UNOPS’ Climate Adaptation Project in Sheballe Valley Ethiopia is a
three-year project that supports the Government of Ethiopia’s Growth and
Transformation Plan II. The project focuses on improving smallholder
productivity and commercialization of crop and livestock value chain in
partnership with the private sector. The goal is to promote inclusive growth
and job creation in the Somali Region of Ethiopia by strengthening the
capabilities of producers and private enterprises to effectively link farmers
to domestic and international markets. The project will invest in improving
productivity and facilitation of the development of a high value,
drought-resistant crop and enhancing the capacity of the community in
sustainable livelihoods.
Under the leadership of the Head of Programme (HoP), the Project Manager will ensure effective delivery of the project through provision of high quality
overall management of project cycle from designing, planning, implementation,
monitoring and evaluation, to documentation of project results and
learning. The position requires good
leadership and management skills, experience in implementing an agricultural
value chain, and the ability to work in a challenging and fragile environment. The incumbent will be based in Addis Ababa with frequent travels to Gode District in the Somali Region of Ethiopia.
