India: Executive Assistant to CEO
Closing date: 2018-04-28
Application : Apply for the jobOrganization: UNOPS
Country: India
Closing date: 28 Apr 2018
There is a growing global realisation that private finance is critical to achieve the goal of significantly reducing deforestation, improving equity and meeting climate change targets. A Sustainable India Finance Facility (SIFF) will bridge the gap between the government, private sector and communities in India and coordinate cross-functionally to support India in working towards its strategic development goals and its climate change targets. The SIFF will support the formation of strategic partnerships and bring finances and capacity building into sectors such as sustainable agriculture, freshwater, fisheries, renewables and forest protection.
India s carbon emissions grew over 5% in 2015. While India recorded rapid economic growth reflected by a GDP of 7.6% in 2015, biodiversity loss, vulnerability to climate change, droughts, agricultural instability and increasing rural poverty remain key concerns for the country. India ranked 10th in terms of worldwide forest loss in 2009 with an estimated deforestation rate of 13.7 million hectares a year. The country contains total land area equalling 329 million hectares, of which 76.87 million hectares is classified as being under forest cover. More than 40% of the country s forests have been degraded mostly due to significant extraction of natural resources. Recently, India has made efforts to explore improving the protection of its forests through several REDD+ projects that promote afforestation and reforestation activities, while also bringing compensation and livelihood opportunities for local communities. Several pilot REDD+ projects are on-going in Assam, Himachal Pradesh and Meghalaya that are being implemented in partnership with donors, State governments and communities. Thus, India sees increasing forest cover as playing a major role in contributing to the achievement of its intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) of improving emissions intensity of its GDP by 33 35% by 2030 as per 2005 levels. Forest cover is expected to be increased so that it can absorb 2.5 3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2030.
On 11th May 2017, the Minister of Energy reaffirmed India s position to the commitments it made under the Paris agreement. Moreover, selected States like Assam have adopted the 2030 Agenda as their official development pathway. There are, regardless of these ambitious goals and ongoing efforts, no cohesive efforts that can provide national level financing to execute activities at scale. The SIFF will fulfil a need for innovative fiscal mechanisms that exists in India and bring resources into overlooked environmental sectors, so that a national shift towards inclusive growth and emissions reduction is achieved. A SIFF Secretariat will be set up in New Delhi to coordinate activities.
The SIFF will support the Government of India to achieve its INDCs and its SDG targets.
Based in the SIFF Secretariat in New Delhi, India, the Executive Assistant to the CEO will work under the direct supervision of the CEO of the SIFF to achieve the following functions/key results.

Inclusive Social policy Programme aims to achieve social policy and strategies that inform more effective and efficient planning, budgeting and implementation of social service programmes for reducing inequities and gender inequalities especially for the most vulnerable and marginalized children and adolescents. The vision of the programme is; therefore, to strengthen government systems and financing to facilitate reduction of child deprivations, support development and implementation of effective policies of social and economic inclusion, especially for the most marginalized and vulnerable children and adolescents.
The Inclusive Social Policy outcome will (1) support evidence based planning and development of integrated social protection policies and programs and its implementation towards integrated social protection systems across different departments and ministries (2) support in enhancing fiscal space and strengthening public finance systems for children, adolescents and women at national and state level, and (3) support governance structures and systems at national and decentralised levels to plan, implement and deliver social services for children by using quality data research, evaluation.
ISP Programme adapted the following strategies and approaches for achieving the outcome result, which addressed key bottlenecks:
Building a pool of highly qualified consultants who can provide technical assistance to develop institutional capacity of our partners at different levels is paramount in achieving the ISP programme outcome and outputs.
UNICEF aims to build a pool of pre-qualified high-calibre candidates to be hired as Inclusive Social Policy (ISP) Consultants , from which UNICEF country office and different state offices can quickly select and fill a requirement through a faster contracting process as soon as a need is identified.
Candidates who meet the required qualifications and experience are invited to apply. Following which, a desk review of their skills and experience will be done to determine whether they qualify for the ISP Roster. The process will ensure all candidates in a Roster Group are evaluated prior to recommendation for a specific consultancy opportunity. Successful candidates will be notified and placed in a ISP Roster Group for a four-year period. However, engagement of identified consultants for specific assignments would be as per the terms and conditions specified in the specific contract entered into.
The Roster of ISP Consultants, once in place, will allow programme colleagues to select three or more potential candidates from the roster for further appraisal and selection of one candidate, rather than going through a formal advertisement process for each consultancy assignment.Ideally, this will expedite the placement of consultants (both short term and long term) and also provide the supervisor the scope to choose from a vast pool of potential candidates with varied backgrounds and experience. In this context, should the currently on-board consultants with UNICEF be interested in being considered for future opportunities with UNICEF, they need to apply to the roster.
The position would be responsible for providing technical support to national / state / divisional / district level/ sub-district levels (in certain cases) Inclusive Social Policy Programme in UNICEF supported states in India. The position would be based at Country Office or State or selected district HQs within the states. Possible locations are: New Delhi, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Hyderabad/Telangana, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Patna, Raipur and Ranchi.
