Following the widespread devastations caused by Cyclones Idai and Kenneth, the Government and its international partners began the long and challenging emergency response and recovery efforts. The severity of the damage and loss, estimated at 3.2 billion, plus the underlying vulnerability and limited capacity in the affected areas have made the recovery effort much more difficult. UNDP has been supporting the Government of Mozambique from the inception including providing policy and technical support for the International Pledging Conference that took place on 31st May and 1st June 2019 in the city of Beira. The International Pledging Conference yielded $1.3 billion in pledges from development partners. Both Government and development partners underscored the importance of building resilience and fast-tracking implementation.
Drawing from the PDNA and the DRF, UNDP’s vision of the cyclone recovery programme in Mozambique arises from key considerations related to development, governance and resilience. To realize this vision, UNDP has established a Recovery Facility funded through a UNDP-led multi-donor Basket Fund as an agile tool to implement short-to-long term recovery activities that will contribute to addressing the root causes of vulnerability and build resilience to future disaster. It has three important pillars: (1) Help the communities recover from the impact of cyclone and floods and rebuild their assets and livelihoods with a focus on women and persons with disabilities; (2) Rebuilding public and community infrastructure to bounce back from the disaster; and (3) Develop national capacities and systems to plan and implement the recovery and resilience programme.
The Recovery Facility is being funded with the support of resources from the European Union, Canada, Finland, Netherlands and Norway along with UNDP. The programme total budget is $72.2 million. Given the mandate of the programme, size of resources and the imperative of fast-tracking implementation, UNDP has decided to establish a dedicated Field Office based in Beira.
Under the overall guidance of the CO Procurement Specialist and the direct supervision of the Head of Field Office, the Procurement Analyst will be responsible for the effective delivery of procurement services for all UNDP programming in the north and central provinces, as managed by the Beira Field, in order to obtain the best value for money. The Procurement Analyst manages the procurement and provides solutions to a wide spectrum of complex issues related to procurement. The Procurement Analyst promotes a collaborative, client-focused, quality and results- oriented approach in all tasks. The Procurement Anlayst works in close collaboration with the Operations, Programme and project teams in the Maputo office and UNDP HQs staff, as relevant, as well as with Government officials, to successfully deliver procurement services. The Procurement Analyst will work under the overall guidance of the CO Procurement Specialist and the direct supervision of the Beira Field Office Manager.
