Anti-Corruption Programme Officer

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is a global leader in the fight against illicit drugs, crime, corruption and terrorism, with widely recognized expertise and specialization on issues pertaining to international cooperation in criminal matters. Established in 1997 through a merger between the United Nations Drug Control Programme and the Centre for International Crime Prevention, UNODC operates in all regions of the world through an extensive network of field offices.

The UNODC Regional Office for Southeast Asia and the Pacific (ROSEAP) has a team of over 300 staff providing advice and technical assistance related to the rule of law, non-traditional security threats, law enforcement, criminal justice and drug-related supply and health issues. The Regional Office for Southeast Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok is home to a multi-disciplinary team of close to 100 regional programme managers, advisors and administrators working with, and supporting, Member States and regional organizations, and aligned programme offices. To implement its work the closest to where it is needed, ROSEAP has satellite presence in 10 countries, including in Fiji.

This UNV assignment contributes to the joint UNODC–Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) project on implementing the Teieniwa Vision: Empowering Pacific Unity in the Fight Against Corruption. The project supports Forum Members in translating the Teieniwa Vision into concrete action, aligned with UNCAC, the 2050 Strategy and the Boe Declaration on Regional Security. It provides a mechanism for coordinated implementation, monitoring, and reporting to the Forum Regional Security Committee (FRSC).
