The UN Secretary-General launched on 1 January 2019 a bold and new global reform which repositioned the UN Development System to deliver more effectively and efficiently with the achievement of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this reform, UN Resident Coordinator Offices (UN RCO), under the leadership of an empowered and independent UN Resident Coordinator - the highest-ranking official of the UN Development System and Representative of the UN Secretary-General at country level - support countries in the achievement of their development priorities and the attainment of the SDG's. The position is located in the United Nations Resident Coordination Office (RCO) in Kigali, Rwanda and is a FIXED TERM LIMITED position. The PDFO reports to the Senior Development Coordination Officer, Strategic Planning and RCO Team Leader. Noting that strategic partnership entails non-monetary partnership and can be used to strengthen joint initiatives/advocacy with external partners towards a common goal, including that of advancing SDGs, the Development Coordination Officer, Partnerships & Development Finance provides advice and support to the Resident Coordinator and the UNCT strategic partnerships for SDG achievement.
