Peace and Security Centre
The UNOPS Peace and
Security Centre (PSC) is a principal service provider in the field of mine
action with the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), UNDP, UNICEF,
Governments of mine-affected countries and other mine action partners. The
Centre is responsible to administer, provide support and oversight of the
day-to-day management of the Project Field offices, both according to the
client requirements and in line with UNOPS rules and regulations.
It is headed by the
Centre Director who has the overall authority and accountability for the
performance of the Peace and Security Centre on behalf of its clients.
One of the main
objectives of the Peace and Security Centre is to rapidly deploy project
personnel to the field. To accomplish this, it has established a Pool of
Experts, from which it deploys and re-deploys personnel in order to fulfil
personnel vacancies. A Pool of Experts is a roster of specialists whose
technical knowledge and personal suitability has been evaluated and approved in
advance, allowing them to be deployed on short notice and in short
order. Pool members can be deployed on any of UNOPS contract
modalities: FTA, TA, or I-ICA (International Individual Contractor Agreement).
