Technical Advisor Urban Projects (Reference No. RMSP 2020/009)
Background and Context
After forty years of protracted displacement, Pakistan continues to host over 1.4 million registered Afghan refugees. In this context, and on behalf of the German Federal Foreign Office, GIZ has been implementing the ‘Refugee Management Support Programme' (RMSP) since August 2017. RMSP focuses on enhancing the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions’ (SAFRON) capacity to manage the situation of Afghan refugees in Pakistan with specific advisory services for the Chief Commissioner for Afghan Refugees (CCAR), and the Commissioners for Afghan Refugees at the federal and provincial level. Furthermore, RMSP supports cross-border cooperation between relevant international organizations present in Afghanistan and Pakistan with a view to identify opportunities to assist Afghan returnees, including through enhanced dialogue between Pakistan’s Ministry of SAFRON and Afghanistan’s Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR). RMSP continues to implement stabilization projects in the border region of Baluchistan and projects in urban areas of Quetta and Rawalpindi to promote social cohesion between Afghan refugees and their host communities through Urban Cohesion Hubs, with an emphasis on the outreach to- and inclusion of marginalized groups from both populations. RMSP has already established an urban Cohesion Hub (UCH) in Quetta where the hub in Rawalpindi will be established this year.
Within this context, GIZ RMSP is looking to hire a full time Technical Advisor Urban Projects, based in Islamabad.
