Background information - Prevention of Sexual Exploitaiton, Abuse and Harassment

Sexual harassment (SH) and sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) are practices that bring negative consequences for the organization, its personnel, and the beneficiaries. These types of conduct violate human rights, go against the United Nations’ values, and conflict with the UNOPS competency framework. They constitute misconduct and UNOPS is determined to ensure that appropriate action is taken to prevent them, and, if they occur, to vigorously address them.

Over the years, UNOPS has put in motion different internal initiatives to prevent and address SH and SEA. UNOPS has also actively joined a number of United Nations system common efforts in this area. The present SH and SEA Prevention Strategy constitutes a new step towards the prevention of SH and SEA in UNOPS. This strategy takes into consideration the international community’s focus on the matter as well as the public opinion’s demands for strong actions to prevent and fight SH and SEA. It also acknowledges that the expectations of all relevant stakeholders are not static, and reflects the commitment of the organization to be aligned with the most up-to-date perspectives of the international community on these important topics.

Background information - Job specific

UNOPS is seeking consultants with experience in the field of sexual exploitation and abuse to conduct various assignments related to the strategic, technical and operational approach to PSEAH.

This is a home-based retainer contract. This retainer position falls under the UNOPS Corporate retainer pool (which is administered by the Implementation Practices and Standards (IPS) Portfolio Support (PS) team). The Corporate retainer pool provides ad-hoc resources with global expertise to UNOPS business units and can be booked on demand through an online platform. All corporate retainers are invited to participate to a one-hour induction session (or two 30 minutes sessions) where they are guided through the UNOPS retainer management tool, the retainer contract modality and their expertise area in the UNOPS context.

The functions/responsibilities/key results of this job description are generic and may not always be applicable, nor be comprehensive, for all missions/assignments under this job title. The specific tasks and deliverables for each retainer assignment may vary and will be detailed in the terms of reference developed for each assignment by the requesting office/unit. Under this contract type, the assignments will vary in scope and duration - ranging from short term assignments of a few hours at a time to longer blocks of time (e.g. several weeks or months full time, and up to a year). Work may also vary with regards to the time zone / location. Whilst most assignments can be delivered working from home, some may require presence in HQ and/or international travel on occasion, including to remote or post-conflict environments. Whilst the successful incumbent can be based in different time-zones, s/he should be able and willing to ensure a degree of time overlap with the teams ordering the retainer’s services.
