In 2015,
Myanmar was affected by floods and landslides. To respond to the disaster, the Government
made an international appeal for assistance and has taken own immediate
measures. Given the scale of impact, several rounds of recovery were required.
In response to the Government request, IDA Immediate
Response Mechanism (IRM) was activated for the Government to access up to 5 %
of the undisbursed IDA investment-lending portfolio of effective projects that
include an IRM contingent emergency response component.
This covers 2016-2017 recovery
needs of the participating ministries to facilitate the post-disaster recovery
and reconstruction efforts of the
Government.
Under the IDA IRM operation,
UNOPS will support the Ministry of Planning and Finance (MoPF) and other line
ministries identified by the Government: Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and
Irrigation, Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, Ministry of
Construction and Ministry of Transport and Communication (“participating
ministries”) with procurement, financial management, and coordination
services.
In this regard, UNOPS Myanmar is looking for
a qualified candidate to fill the position of Agriculture Engineer (Agro
Machinery and Farm Equipment Specialist)
at IICA 3.
