DFID has contracted UNOPS to carry out a “Project
Coordination Units (PCU)” Project in close cooperation with DFID leadership. UNOPS
will work closely with the new provincial and local Government to coordinate
programmes in the province and provide technical assistance through existing
programmes, as appropriate.
The Deputy Team Leader – Risk Management will support
and deputise for the Team Leader to coordinate all activities of the PCUs. This
will include significant team leadership and representational work. As well as
being second-in-command for all operations of the PCUs, the Deputy will also be
in charge of all risk management activities to ensure DFID-funded activities
are carried out safely and effectively across Nepal. This is a unique
opportunity to help lead a cross-national team which will have a real impact on
the effectiveness of DFID’s programmes across Nepal as federalism is
implemented.
