Mission and objectives
UNFPA is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency. Our mission is to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA aims to achieve three transformative results: (1) ending preventable maternal deaths, (2) ending unmet need for family planning, and (3) ending gender-based violence and harmful practices. The work of UNFPA is based on the premise that all human beings are entitled to equal rights and protections. We focus on women and young people because these are groups whose ability to exercise their right to sexual and reproductive health is often compromised.
Context
UNFPA Myanmar is implementing a complex humanitarian response in a highly dynamic environment marked by conflict, displacement, natural disasters, access constraints, and evolving coordination structures. The Country Office supports life-saving interventions in sexual and reproductive health (SRH), gender-based violence (GBV), mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), humanitarian supplies, cash assistance, and preparedness.
Given the scale and pace of humanitarian operations, UNFPA is seeking an International UN Volunteer to strengthen coordination, reporting, planning, proposal development, and day-to-day management support across the humanitarian portfolio.
The Humanitarian Support Analyst will provide direct support to the humanitarian function by improving internal coordination, ensuring timely and high-quality reporting, supporting resource mobilization efforts, strengthening planning and tracking systems, and helping manage cross-cutting operational tasks.
The role is designated to increase efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and enable more strategic humanitarian leadership.
