Responsibilities
The Project Technician will provide support to UNDP projects and activities in areas where UNDP staff have limited physical access, while ensuring that all actions are aligned with UNDP rules, regulations, and guidance. The role will focus on operational and technical follow-up, with an emphasis on supporting UNDP staff rather than representing UNDP externally.
The incumbent will be responsible for the following tasks:
• Data collection and analysis:
o Collect required data and information, as requested by the supervisor, in close coordination with Technical Officers and UNDP staff in Deir ez-Zor, ensuring it is organized systematically to support evidence-based decision-making.
o Gather data and conduct basic research to analyze the political, social, and economic situation in the eastern side of the Euphrates in Deir ez-Zor, providing inputs to strategies, planning processes, reports, and related documentation.
• Project follow-up and monitoring:
o Follow up on UNDP activities within the Area of Responsibility (AoR) in accordance with UNDP rules, project documents, and workplans. Share information on progress, challenges, and lessons learned, and propose potential amendments in consultation with stakeholders.
o Conduct regular field visits, when required, to monitor progress, identify bottlenecks and risks, and report findings to the supervisor and relevant Technical Officers.
o Conduct post-completion visits to beneficiaries to assess project impact and sustainability.
o Document lessons learned and good practices and share them with UNDP staff.
• Coordination and liaison support:
o Support UNDP staff in liaising with local authorities for required approvals and administrative follow-up.
o Support mapping of stakeholders and building partnerships with UN agencies, NGOs, private sector, community actors, and other local partners in line with UNDP’s strategies and local priorities.
o Facilitate consultations with target communities on planned activities and propose adjustments in coordination with the Area Office.
o Provide logistical support for workshops, training sessions, and coordination meetings.
• Reporting and documentation:
o Support Technical Officers in preparing monthly progress updates and final reports, capturing progress against workplans, achievements, challenges, risks, and corrective actions.
o Contribute to regular monitoring reports, expenditure tracking, and updating financial records, under the guidance of Technical Officers.
o Support the documentation of project activities, including coordination with the media team for photos and videos, in line with UNDP communication protocols.
• Operational support:
o Assist Technical Officers in preparing LVG and procurement documents (TORs, RFQs, RFPs) in accordance with UNDP rules and regulations.
o Support the monitoring of project budgets, financial documents, and inventory records in close coordination with the Area Office.
o Ensure accurate tracking of deliverables and timely reporting on project outputs.
• Other tasks:
o Undertake any additional duties as assigned by the supervisor, in line with project requirements and UNDP rules and regulations.
