Communicating in crisis and post-crisis settings has many challenges, one of them being a possible perception of alignment with one party or the other to the conflict. There is often a risk of misunderstanding of the mandate of UNDP. The particular nature of the Somalia situation requires complex messaging to maintain the credibility of the organization and ensure that its work is perceived as serving all Somalis. At the same time, a clear communications strategy and approach that is aligned with the Country Programme strengthens partnerships and supports resource mobilization.
?
The Partnerships and Planning Unit (PPU) is a central unit within UNDP Somalia that supports effective and efficient programme delivery, with a view to maximizing results and impact. The PPU directly supports the main programmes with expert services tailored to a crisis and post-crisis context. While quality assurance remains a core programmatic function, PPU and Sub-Office programme teams will ensure overall consistency with corporate standards, policies and procedures. The Communications Unit comes under the PPU as its work is complementary to other key services offered by the PPU, including Monitoring and Evaluation, Donor Relations and Resource Mobilization, and Reporting.
?
It is in this context that UNDP would like to recruit one Communications Associate for each of its Hargeisa and Garowe Sub-Offices to support the implementation of its communication strategy and outreach work in Somalia. The incumbent will form a part of the core Sub-Office programme team. Under the direct supervision of the Sub-Office M&E Specialist and technical guidance of the Communications Specialist (Nairobi), the Communications Associate will work in close collaboration with the Sub-Office programme and project staff.
