The WHO Country Liaison Office for Kiribati is the centre of the Secretariat%27s mechanism for delivering its technical cooperation. The goal of WHO%27s country presence is to enable the entire organization to sport Kiribati in reaching its health goals and contributing to global and regional public health action. Kiribati is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the health impacts of climate variability and change. Climate change threatens not only the health and well-being of the nation but its very existence. The combination of exposure to climatic hazards, limited capacity of the health system, including inadequate basic infrastructure such as communication, water and sanitation and electricity, human resources, and supplies, as well as communities that are remote and hard to reach provide significant challenges in reducing climate change-related morbidity and mortality. Without substantial and proactive investment in adaptation in the health sector and community-levels, the current and projected climatic changes will result in increased health risks through direct and indirect pathways.%3Co%5C:p%3E%3C/o%5C:p%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22mso-margin-top-alt%5C: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt%5C: auto; line-height%5C: normal; mso-outline-level%5C: 2;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cb%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: %27Times New Roman%27, serif;%22%3EDESCRIPTION OF DUTIES%3Co%5C:p%3E%3C/o%5C:p%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/b%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22mso-margin-top-alt%5C: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt%5C: auto; line-height%5C: normal;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: Arial, sans-serif;%22%3EUnder the direct supervision of the Country Liaison Officer (CLO) of the WHO Office in Kiribati, the incumbent will perform the following functions%5C:%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22line-height%5C: normal; font-family%5C: Arial;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: Arial, sans-serif;%22%3E1) Provide technical and scientific input to the work program of Climate Change, the Environment, and Health (CCE) and support the technical and scientific implementation of the CCE thematic priority in For the Future;%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22line-height%5C: normal; font-family%5C: Arial;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: Arial, sans-serif;%22%3E2) Coordinate implementation of a GEF supported climate change and environmental health initiative and projects in Kiribati to ensure its compliance with the defined project scope, management methodology, standards, budget and timelines; %3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22line-height%5C: normal; font-family%5C: Arial;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: Arial, sans-serif;%22%3E3) Ensure effective management of available resources, quality delivery of expected outcomes and outputs, and active engagement with the team and relevant stakeholders; %3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22line-height%5C: normal; font-family%5C: Arial;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: Arial, sans-serif;%22%3E4) Coordinate WHO%27s technical assistance by developing comprehensive project plans in collaboration with national counterparts and technical staff during all project phases from initial development through implementation; %3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22line-height%5C: normal; font-family%5C: Arial;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: Arial, sans-serif;%22%3E5) Communicate proactively with national counterparts, WHO staff and development partners to provide encouragement, identify problems, identify solutions, and implement efficiency improvements, as needed and ensure an active project management committee is in place; %3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22line-height%5C: normal; font-family%5C: Arial;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: Arial, sans-serif;%22%3E6) Identify project risks and implementation challenges and work closely with responsible team leads to mitigate these risks and to identify solutions to address business needs; %3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22line-height%5C: normal; font-family%5C: Arial;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: Arial, sans-serif;%22%3E7) Prepare quarterly and annual reports to be cleared by the WHO Representative to the South Pacific; %3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22line-height%5C: normal; font-family%5C: Arial;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-size%5C: 16px;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22font-family%5C: Arial, sans-serif;%22%3E8) Ensure visibility of project plans including communication plans, status, dependencies, risks and issues.
