*Background*
___________________________________________________________________________The UNOPS Myanmar Office has been established to better support, develop and oversee the UNOPS portfolio of projects in country and to ensure that
synergies between projects are effectively developed.
The UNOPS Myanmar Office plays a critical role in ensuring quality services
to UNOPS partners that meet stringent requirements of speed, efficiency and
cost-effectiveness. It is also responsible for liaison with government
counterparts, donors, and UN Agencies.
The UNOPS Myanmar Office portfolio currently includes a number of projects
including fund management through the multi-donor Three Diseases Fund (3DF), the Livelihoods and Food Security Trust Fund (LIFT) and the Health PONREPP. In addition, UNOPS Myanmar has been designated as the Principal Recipient for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria grant (GFATM). In November 2009, the Global Fund Board sanctioned the three grant applications submitted by the Myanmar Country Coordination Mechanism (M-CCM).
As the designated Principal Recipient (PR) for the Global Fund grants
earmarked for Government and UN Partners, and for overall Procurement, UNOPS Myanmar is responsible for the management of the Principal Recipient
operations in an independent and transparent manner. In 2010, UNOPS Myanmar will have to pro-actively negotiate the three grants and meet all Global Fund requirements for the grant financing to be activated for the first two-years. Further, UNOPS will have to complete all the groundwork to start-up the Principal Recipient operations to ensure minimal lag between grant signature and full commencement of operations.
The Logistics Officer will work under the direct supervision and guidance of the Procurement Specialist and overall direction of the Head of Support
Services.
