Duties And Responsibilities
Background The position is located in the Local2030 Coalition Secretariat, as part of the Global Solutions Division. The Global Solutions Division (GSD) provides programmatic direction for UN-Habitat and is responsible and accountable for the programmatic delivery of the Strategic Plan. The Division leads the tools and methodology production and the integration of the various substantive competencies towards the effective delivery of the Strategic Plan and the mandate of UN-Habitat. It provides substantive training and supports capacity development of Member States and partners. The Local2030 Coalition is the UN system-wide mechanism to advance the crucial engagement of local stakeholders in a systematic way – a common space to mobilise, engage and empower every local actor, everywhere – towards the achievement of the SDGs. The Coalition is underpinned by the recognition that strategic and committed partnerships are key to ensure coherence and effectiveness. Inside the UN system, the Local2030 Coalition aims to strengthen coordination between the UN agencies’ efforts and expand and deepen their partnerships with local actors to advance the SDGs. The Coalition is co-chaired by UN-Habitat (as the permanent co-Chair) and one other UN entity which rotates every two years (currently UNDP). UN-Habitat also serves as the Secretariat of the Local2030 Coalition. The Coalition is governed by a Steering Committee and supported by a UN Directors’ Group which includes senior representatives from various UN Agencies, Offices, Funds and Programmes.
