![]() The position will have a lead technical responsibility under direct supervision of the Project Coordinator and overall guidance of the Head of NRM, CC and DRR Unit, working closely with the Department of Water Resources (DWR), MONRE. The outcomes, outputs and activities of the project are: UNDP is seeking an expert with deep knowledge and field experience in water resource management, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction, as well as institutional capacity development and project design and implementation to ensure technical soundness, quality and efficiency of the project implementation at the country level in Lao PDR. There are two outcomes intended at the country-level activity implementation: 1) Inclusive assessment of water-related climate risks completed in the priority river basins, 2) Enabling environment for gender-responsive climate risk-informed integrated water resources management developed. The main objective of the project is to strengthen the climate and disaster resilience of people and communities in vulnerable regions of Lao PDR and Cambodia through improved risk and vulnerability assessment and advancing an integrated approach to water resources management. The key national implementing partner and focal point of the project is the Department of Water Resources (DWR), MONRE. ![]() Asian Water Council (AWC) and K-Water will conduct some of the activities. This project is implemented by UNDP, in close cooperation with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare (MOLSW). The number of direct beneficiaries of the project is approximately 106,481 (38,388 residents of Thakek and 68,093 residents of Pakse) and overall beneficiaries (direct + indirect) over 1.6 million people of Khammouane and Champasack Provinces. This approach fosters resilient and sustainable socio-economic development and contributes to the achievement of the SDGs. The project applies a human rights-based approach to address development challenges associated with disasters and enhance resilience to increasing climate risks through improved policy, strengthened capacity, and risk information. The project will also contribute towards improved hydrological and climate risk modelling and information systems, which will in turn inform flood management as well as adaptation planning and enhance the capacity of national and provincial decision-makers, as well as local stakeholders using the improved information system. Taking a barrier-removal approach, the project will address gaps in data collection, management, and analysis, enhance institutional and technical capacity at the subnational level for integrated climate and flood risk management, enhance the availability of resources for investment in water-related risk reduction, and aid the flow of risk knowledge and coordination across borders As such, the project seeks to address these problems faced while acknowledging the transboundary nature of the challenge and making adjustments as necessary to tailor for the variances of each country. There is a strong connection between the upstream and downstream impacts associated with floods and water availability in the transboundary region. ![]() All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.Įnhancing Integrated Water Management and Climate Resilience in Vulnerable Urban Areas of the Mekong River Basin project seeks to address the critical need for risk data to inform integrated water resources management and, in so doing, enable increased investment in risk reduction measures in Lao PDR and Cambodia. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. ![]() All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. ![]() UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture.
