Mission and objectives
There are 29 United Nations (UN) entities contributing to humanitarian and development priorities in Jordan, of which 19 have offices in the country (FAO, ILO, IOM, OCHA, UNDP, UNESCO, UNFPA, UN-Habitat, UNHCR, UNICEF, UNIDO, UNODC, UNOPS, UNRWA, UN Women, WFP, WHO, UNDSS, and UNV). The other 10 entities support from regional and headquarters locations (ESCWA, UNEP, UNDRR, IFAD, OHCHR, UNIC, UNICRI, UNCTAD, ITU, and ITC). Seven entities have regional or headquarters offices in Jordan (UNDP, UNICEF, UNHCR, DCO, OCHA, the Office of the Special Envoy for Yemen and UNRWA). The UN in Jordan employs approximately 2,800 personnel, with about 900 being international staff. In addition, there are around 7,000 area staff of UNRWA.

The position is located in the United Nations Resident Coordinator’s Office (UNRCO) for Jordan. The UNRCO aims to maximise, in a coordinated fashion, the work of the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) so that the system can provide a collective, coherent and integrated response to national priorities and needs, within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other national and international commitments.

Context
Recently, the UNCT and the Government developed the new UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for 2023-2027. The UNSDCF represents the commitment of the Kingdom of Jordan and the United Nations to working together to realize the country’s development potential and accelerate its path towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Focusing on four main priorities, i.e. inclusive green growth and decent jobs; basic services and self-reliance; climate action and sustainable resource management; and accountable institutions, the UNSDCF is fully aligned with the Government’s national strategies and plans and to the Economic, Political and Public Sector Modernization reforms. The UNSDCF constitutes an opportunity to reinvigorate the partnership between the UN and the Government at all levels and to enhance coherence across all UN operations.
