The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has declared an outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease affecting Ituri and other affected or at-risk provinces. National authorities, with the support of humanitarian partners, have activated emergency coordination and response mechanisms to contain transmission and protect affected communities. The outbreak is unfolding in a complex humanitarian environment marked by insecurity, population displacement, high mobility, constrained access to essential services and weak water, sanitation, hygiene and infection prevention and control systems. These conditions heighten the risk of transmission in health facilities and communities and require rapid, well-coordinated and technically rigorous WASH/IPC action.
The geographic expansion of the outbreak, the operational complexity of the response and the need to align interventions across national, provincial and health-zone levels require senior leadership. An experienced profile is therefore required to provide the strategic expertise, technical authority and convening capacity needed to lead UNICEF's WASH/IPC response and support Government-led coordination across affected and at-risk areas.
How can you make a difference?
Under the supervision of the Supply Officer, the Supply Associate performs highly skilled procurement and supply work in support of the Ebola emergency response, managing complex procurement and contracting cases and client requests that frequently require evaluation of difficult situations and adaptation of procedures. Working with a high degree of operational independence, the incumbent leads to end-to-end procurement processes and contributes to the design and development of improved supply services and delivery mechanisms. The incumbent may supervise lower-level GS staff.
