Country: Syrian Arab Republic
Closing date: 18 Feb 2014
Background:
As the crisis in Syria continues, so have the humanitarian needs continued to increase. More than 6.5 million people are displaced with an estimated 9.3 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. The focus of the UNHCR operation within Syria has had to shift from serving the mass influx of refugees that came predominantly from Iraq to being the lead-agency responsible for Protection, Core Relief Items and Shelter for IDPs. Reporting on the situation and response is both challenging and complex. With the situation within Syria almost constantly on the news, and with a plan to spend 2.2 billion dollars on Humanitarian Assistance in 2014, the UN is under constant pressure to deliver but also to tell the story of the situation, the challenges, the delivery and distribution.
UNHCR has almost 400 staff inside Syria. The Associate Reporting Officer will be hired through UNOPS and would work in a team of 6, with a Reporting Officer, a national Reporting Associate, a graphic designer, a Mapping (GIS) IM Associate and an Administrative Assistant. Please also see on Refworld a UNHCR Document entitled UNHCR Syria: 2013 in review for more information about the Operation.
