The UN Resident Coordinator System encompasses all organizations of the UN system dealing with operational activities for development, regardless of their formal presence in the country. A reinvigorated Resident Coordinator System is at the Centre of a repositioned United Nations Development System. The UN Resident Coordinator (UNRC) is the designated representative of the UN Secretary General and leading the UN Country Team (UNCT) assumes the overall responsibility for – and coordination of – the development activities of the UN system. The UNRC Office for Mauritius and Seychelles has a multi-country (MCO) status and is responsible for Mauritius and Seychelles. Seychelles has signed their first UN and Government UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2024-2028. The implementation of the UNSDCFs has started in earnest from 2024. The effective implementation of the UNSDCFs requires the MCO to tap into the expertise, resources and co-programming opportunities of the 25 strong UN entities that have signed the UNSDCFs, multi-stakeholder partnership and coordination, policy and knowledge solutions, regional integration and innovative financing. Against this context, the role of the Development Coordination Officer is expected to contribute to the strategic positioning of the UN, management of joint UN country team results and the successful rollout of the UN multiyear programme of action to support the SDG acceleration as well as the Barbuda and Antigua plan of action. The position is located in Victoria duty station, Seychelles. The Officer will report to the Strategic Planning Officer/RCO Team Leader (based in Mauritius).
