In June 2022, UNOPS signed a legal agreement with the South Asia Cooperative Environment Program (SACEP), an intergovernmental organization in South Asia, to support its implementation of the Plastic Free Rivers and Seas for South Asia (PLEASE) project that is funded by the World Bank. The PLEASE project encompasses three components:
-
Component 1: Supporting Competitive Block Grant Investments to Reduce Plastic Waste;
-
Component 2: Leveraging Public and Private Sector Engagement and Solutions; and
-
Component 3: Strengthening Regional Integration Institutions.
UNOPS is expected to provide advisory services and implementation support, which entails project management, grant management, procurement, logistics, infrastructure, institutional capacity building, and communications and public advocacy, to the SACEP Project Implementation Unit (PIU).
Under the direct supervision of the Senior Programme Manager, the Incumbent will lead institutional capacity building initiatives for SACEP under the project Component 3. S/he will seek to understand the needs and requirements, support the design of a capacity building building plan, and lead the implementation of relevant activities, including managing a team.
