Vacancy Announcement from ICIMOD
Senior Project Coordinator- HI-REAP
Position Overview:
The Himalayan Resilience Enabling Action Programme (HI-REAP) is one of the components of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s (FCDO) Climate Action for Resilient Asia (CARA), initiative. HIREAP also has ADB, the World Bank, the UK Met Office and the UNDP Asia Regional Office as other partners.
HIREAP comes into ICIMOD’s portfolio as a bilateral project, and it has specific deliverables and output/outcome indicators that are well aligned with several Interventions across the three Strategic Groups. It therefore requires additional coordination and oversight requirements, and strong cross-strategic group (SG) working.
The Senior Project Coordinator – HI-REAP is expected to lead the HIREAP coordination across ICIMOD’s Strategic Groups. This will require ensuring that all the HIREAP components – sitting across all the Action Areas – are delivering against HIREAP results commitments. This means working closely with the relevant ICIMOD leads in initiating, supporting, and monitoring the quality delivery of all HIREAP activities. The Senior Project Coordinator will also support ICIMOD’s strategic engagement with all CARA partners by identifying collaboration opportunities, as well as being the lead for managing relations between ICIMOD and FCDO on all HIREAP/CARA matters.
Background
The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region stretches 3,500km across Asia, spanning eight countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan. Encompassing high-altitude mountain ranges, mid-hills, and plains, the zone is vital for the food, water, and energy security of up to two billion people and is a habitat for countless irreplaceable species. It is also acutely fragile – and frontline to the impacts of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), based in Kathmandu, Nepal, is an international organisation established in 1983, that is working to make this critical region greener, more inclusive and climate resilient.
