UNRWA is offering a job opportunity for experts in Finance to join the team in various locations for 2020. The mission of UNRWA is to help Palestine refugees achieve their full potential in human development under the difficult circumstances in which they live. In line with this mission, the Agency works towards five strategic outcomes:

Palestine refugee rights under international law are protected and promoted.
Palestine refugee health is protected and disease burden is reduced.
School-age children complete quality, equitable and inclusive basic education.
Palestine refugee capabilities are strengthened for increased livelihood opportunities.
Palestine refugees are able to meet their basic human needs of food, shelter and environmental health. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions from UN member states, regional bodies, business foundations and individual contributions.

Requirements:

UNRWA regularly requires technical experts and managers with international experience to perform specific professional level assignments related to projects and emergencies.
For the Finance Experts roster, UNRWA invites applications from interested professionals with substantial experience in results-based budgeting, accounting, treasury management, SAPREACH, etc.
Successful Roster applicants should have several years of broad international experience in their field of work, as well as solid academic qualifications from accredited universities and academic bodies and very good credentials from past employers.
Assignments can be at UNRWA Headquarters or one of its areas of operation (Amman, Damascus, Beirut, Jerusalem, Gaza).

Benefits:

Remuneration and other contractual modalities will depend upon the needs of the assignment and the candidate's qualifications, experience and the level of expertise.

About UNRWA:

Following the 1948 Arab-Palestinei conflict, UNRWA was established by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 302 (IV) of 8 December 1949 to carry out direct relief and works programs for Palestine refugees. The Agency began operations on 1 May 1950. In the absence of a solution to the Palestine refugee problem, the General Assembly has repeatedly renewed UNRWA's mandate, most recently extending it until 30 June 2020. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions from the UN Member States. UNRWA also receives some funding from the Regular Budget of the United Nations, which is used mostly for international staffing costs. The Agency’s services encompass education, health care, relief, and social services, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance and emergency assistance, including in times of armed conflict.
