UNOPS mission is to expand the capacity of the UN system and its partners to implement peacebuilding, humanitarian and development operations that matter for people in need.  Working in some of the world’s most challenging environments, UNOPS vision is to always satisfy partners with management services that meet world-class standards of quality, speed and cost effectiveness.


The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. 


Background

UN-Habitat has been active in Iraq since 1996 under the Oil for Food Programme. After 2003, UN-Habitat was largely engaged in early recovery efforts, particularly those supporting internally displaced persons through the provision of shelter and reconstruction solutions.


After more than five years since the official declaration of the ‘end of war against ISIL’ by the Government of Iraq in late 2017, there are still approximately 5.6 million people in Iraq affected by missing or outdated HLP documentation while it is estimated that 2.4 million people face issues due to a lack of HLP documentation or have issues with establishing security of tenure. 


As part of the EU-funded project, “Modernising Urban Land Knowledge (MULK)”, UN-Habitat seeks to reform and modernise the land governance and management framework of Iraq by supporting the creation of a land record digitization system and in developing the technical specifications and implementation plans for the digitised e-land administration and e-cadastre systems. The project aims to initiate the necessary processes for improving security of tenure and land governance systems through initiating legislative and regulatory reforms, developing the framework for streamlining and making transparent land-related administrative processes, and by promoting access to data that can influence investment and land use decisions. 


The main objective of this consultancy is to support the Ministry of Justice, Real Estate Registration Directorate RERD/Cadastre, including CSOs in developing a deep understanding of e-land governance systems and their implications, allowing them to advocate more effectively for policies that prioritise transparency, data security, and the protection of HLP rights and to lay the foundation for the development of a comprehensive e-land registry digital platform under the UN-Habitat project. He/she will support the Project Manager in the capacity-building training and development of technical specifications for digitising land records with their expertise in land management and governance. 


Reporting Line:

The incumbent will be based in Baghdad, at the UN-Habitat Office, reporting to Head of the UN-Habitat Iraq Programme and/or his/her designation. 


The incumbent is responsible to abide by security policies, administrative instructions, plans and procedures of the UN Security Management System and of UNOPS.
