Background Information – Job Specific
The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is an operational arm of the United Nations, supporting the successful implementation of its partners’ peacebuilding, humanitarian and development projects around the world.  UNOPS supports partners to build a better future by providing services that increase the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of peace building, humanitarian and development projects. Mandated as a central resource of the United Nations, UNOPS provides sustainable project management, procurement and infrastructure services to a wide range of governments, donors and United Nations organizations.
Sierra Leone’s geographical location, land characteristics, and monsoon climate make the country susceptible to natural hazards including floods, landslides and coastal erosion. In 2015 and 2017, massive floods in Freetown led to more than 9,000 people being displaced, including over 1,200 dead and missing. Freetown continues to remain at high risk of natural disasters.  In 2017 UNOPS embarked on a partnership with the Freetown City Council (FCC) to carry out technical assessments and develop resilient infrastructure at key points in the city at risk of failure as a result of extreme climatic conditions.
In 2020 the Government of Japan pledged to contribute to this programme by boosting humanitarian assistance and increasing resilience, through rehabilitation works which reduce immediate risks to life and property in Freetown communities affected by flooding since June 2019. The project will also contribute to capacity building and income generation of low-income beneficiaries through implementation of the following project activities:
Activity1: Conduct assessment of resilient infrastructure and plan the implementation
Activity2: Rehabilitation and/or replacement of damaged infrastructures including footbridges, channels, culverts and tree planting (for slope stabilization and reducing rainwater runoff)
Activity3: Provide technical assistance for labor intensive works – using low-income community labor force for rehabilitation works
