Background UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 170 countries and territories, working with governments and people on their own solutions to global and national development challenges to help empower lives and build resilient nations. UNDP Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People (PAPP) derives its mandate from the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 33/147 of 20 December 1978 to improve the economic and social conditions of the Palestinian people by identifying their social and economic needs and by establishing concrete projects to that end. UNDP/PAPP places empowerment, resilience, and sustainability at the center of its operation and focuses on three priority areas: the Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, and Area C of the West Bank, where the needs are the greatest. UNDP/PAPP is active in four thematic areas: democratic governance and the rule of law; economic empowerment and private sector development; environment and management of natural resources; and public and social infrastructure. UNDP/PAPP is seeking a candidate to fill the position of Project Coordinator based in Ramallah, to support the Project Manager in the implementation of the Project in Support to COVID-19 emergency response and vaccination promotion. The project aims to strengthen the government and partners' capacity to advance the COVID-19 vaccination promotion, while strengthening the health system’s capacity to maintain and ensure continuity of essential healthcare services, considering the burden and challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this overarching goal, the project focuses on four critical areas: 1) Deployment of health personnel to support the COVID-19 vaccination; 2) Support to mobile health clinics in rural areas (Area C) to ensure vaccination and primary healthcare coverage in marginalized communities; 3) Provision of critical medical equipment and supplies to support and maintain essential healthcare services; 4) Evidence generation to support decision making: development of knowledge products to inform policies and strengthen institutional capacities. The incumbent will work under the guidance of the Programme Manager and the direct supervision of the Project Manager. The expected duration of the contract is 12 months on National Personnel Service Agreement (N-PSA). The extension will be conditioned to satisfactory performance evaluation as well as the availability of funding. Duties and Responsibilities
