Project Information
The European Commission (EC) has provided financial support to the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC - also known as the Khmer Rouge Tribunal) for a number of years and is one of the biggest contributors to the ECCC. The EC decided to channel all funds through one entity which shall be UNOPS.
The action consists of three components:
- Facilitate and effectuate the payment of personnel and non-personnel costs for the international component of the ECCC
- Facilitate and effectuate payment of personnel costs for the national component of the ECCC
- Management of grants under the Awareness and Education on Khmer Rouge era programme
For the first two components, UNOPS is responsible for the financial management, financial oversight and reporting requirements from both, the national and international side of the ECCC.
Included into this project is a genocide education component, under which grants will be provided to CSOs/NGOs through a competitive CFP/RFP process.
The Project Manager will be responsible for overseeing the fund management for the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) and providing key services (if any) required by the project.
Background Information – Cambodia Multi-Country Office
UNOPS established its Cambodia Multi-Country Office (KHOH) in early 2013. Since then, KHOH has carried out a diverse set of projects/programs, such as a multi-donor funded project to support the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (also known as the Khmer Rouge Tribunal). Also, KHOH has been providing advisory services in the infrastructure sector to other development partners, such as the Government of the Russian Federation and KOICA, and procurement support and advisory services to different line ministries of the Royal Government of Cambodia.
UNOPS KHOH is also overseeing business activities and/or providing Support and Services to UNOPS operations in other countries, within the Greater Mekong Sub-Region such as Lao PDR and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, as well as the Philippines, mainly focused on the infrastructure sector, but also encompassing good governance, trade facilitation and environmental issues.
In addition, KHOH is providing Support Services to the Malaria Programs and Regional Artemisinin Initiative (RAI) funded by the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM).
UNOPS KHOH is in the process of expanding its area of engagement in partnership with different development partners, focusing mainly on a portfolio comprised of projects and programs in the infrastructure and environmental sectors, as well as continuing with the provision of transactional services (HR and Procurement services). For that, UNOPS is subsequently looking for qualified and committed experts that can contribute to fulfill our mandate in Greater Mekong Sub-Region and beyond.
