Position Competencies Additional Information See below for this postion’s Operational Context Additional Information For those people applying for High Risk Duty Stations, we strongly encourage colleagues to read the country specific security and welfare profiles which can be found on the Intranet under Support Services – Duty of Care (https://intranet.unhcr.org/en/support-services/duty-of-care.html). These profiles have been specifically designed to answer some of the key questions (on security conditions, medical provisions, staff welfare, living and working conditions) potential applicants might have before deciding to apply. Ensuring staff are better informed is part of the increased attention UNHCR is paying to Duty of Care. This project is still in the pilot phase, and as such some of the information leaflets are being produced as we speak and might not be available yet. They will be soon, so keep checking. Desirable Attributes – Undergraduate degree (equivalent of a BA/BS) in Journalism, Communications or a related field plus minimum 3 years of previous work experience relevant to the function. Graduate degree (equivalent of a Master¿s) with 4 years or Doctorate degree (equivalent of a PhD) with 2 years of relevant working experience may also be accepted. Current Situation The West African region is characterized by a complex pattern of population movements. While most of the movements take place at the intraregional level, generally within the ECOWAS area, there is also a substantial number of people moving beyond the region, to North Africa and Europe, as well as some southward movements. These movements usually comprise a mix of migrants travelling for economic reasons; nomadic and seasonal movements; people fleeing insecurity, political instability, or violence (i.e. refugees and asylum seekers); victims of trafficking; and unaccompanied children, amongst others. Many of these movements are effected in different stages, with rationales and protection concerns changing along the journey. Very little is known about the drivers of these movements, the profiles of the concerned persons, the routes being used and more importantly on the protection risks people face during their journey. While humanitarian actors have traditionally designed their programs to respond to the needs of populations perceived as ¿static¿, the unprecedented scale of movements at cross regional level over the last years has highlighted the specific vulnerabilities of migrants while in route to other countries. Working and Living Conditions The position will be based at the UNHCR Regional Representation for West Africa in Dakar, a family duty station (Hardship classification A) with frequent missions to the region. Dakar is a liveable city. The living conditions in Dakar are good and the social climate is calm. Senegal is an open country that enjoys social stability resulting from the smooth functioning of state institutions. Senegal is also provided with a good level of infrastructure (e.g. roads, distribution of water, electricity, etc.) Security Considerations The country is at the level of Security 2, which corresponds to « Low », with the exception of the Casamance natural region (administrative regions of Kolda, Sédhiou and Ziguinchor) where acts of banditry are often reported but also the presence of Elements of the Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance (MFDC) and unexploded ordnance (UXO). All United Nations personnel must scrupulously comply with UNDSS procedures and recommendations during their assignment to Senegal. Thefts and burglary are the main incidents against UN personnel. Additional Factors – Reports reflecting regional activities by UNHCR on mixed migration are prepared and distributed regularly and in a timely manner. Closing Date |
