Duration of the project is 12 months Expected Starting Date: Immediate The Pacific Small Island Development States (PSIDS) are threatened by natural hazards such as cyclones, earthquakes, tsunami, volcanoes, droughts and floods. Such is the extent of their vulnerability that majority of the PSIDS face grave consequences from global warming and the negative effects of climate change as well as geophysical hazards. As part of UNDP’s ongoing efforts in Disaster Risk Management (DRM), the UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji promotes preparedness, early recovery, resilience and risk-informed development. UNDP is guided by the Sendai Framework of Action and its five priority areas for Disaster Risk Reduction. Within the UNDP Strategic Plan, building resilience through disaster risk reduction, preparedness, response and recovery is a priority and aimed at supporting countries efforts to reduce the likelihood of conflict and lower the risk of natural disasters, including from climate change. The International UN Youth Volunteer will provide critical support towards three inter-related objectives; i) Enhanced capacities of the UNDP Pacific Office towards management of climate change and disaster resilience related projects and programmes; ii) Successful implementation of the Russian funded RESPAC project with specific focus on technical advice on and innovative support to RESPAC initiatives especially in the areas of Climate Early Warning Systems (CLEWS) and Disaster Finance; and iii) novel and sound business development and pipeline management enhance the ability of UNDP Pacific Office to leverage and maximize various partnerships and opportunities for development financing. It also contributes to ensuring financial sustainability of the organization through enabling better informed and more accurate resources projections and making necessary adjustments in internal resource planning. (S)he will devise new angles of support dictated by a changing environment and subsequent needs of countries in line with the Project Document.
