Job Title: Consultant - Engagement with Non-State Actors
Location: Unspecified
Contractual Arrangement: External consultant
Contract Duration (Years, Months, Days): 11 months
Organization: HQ/DAN Due Diligence & Non-State Actors
Schedule: Full-time
Purpose of Consultancy
Background
To facilitate implementation of the recommendations, the Due Diligence and Non-State Actors Unit (CRE/DAN) in the Office of Compliance, Risk Management and Ethics, developed four overarching action areas that underpin a more detailed set of actions that respond to the six recommendations contained in the evaluation and are contained in a management response. The management response includes inter alia measures to increase communication to demystify FENSA and improve buy-in for consistent application, build capacity to strengthen the consistent application of the FENSA rules and procedures, and develop tools and mechanisms to support FENSA implementation while ensuring ongoing learning, drawing lesson-learning and knowledge exchange.
While ambitious goals have been achieved since its adoption in 2016, enabling actions highlighted by the evaluation are critical to ensure full implementation of FENSA and Member States recommendations in an aligned, coordinated, and systematic manner to maximize the value added from non-State actor engagement across the Organization. To facilitate full achievement of the recommendations, technical support is needed. Not to mention, the exposure of CRE/DAN, and the responsibility and the complexity of its duties have increased considerably in view of the evolving functions of the Unit and the Organizational context. This, constantly calls for a higher-level of expertise and proficiency when reviewing proposals, assessing risk and proposing mitigation measures, and guiding technical departments when developing engagements.
