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.
The Logistics Officer will be
responsible for supporting the coordination of different logistics activities
undertaken by UNOPS within the IRM project to ensure that client’s needs are
satisfactorily met.
