**Responsibilities**:
Created in December 1999, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is the designated focal point in the United Nations system for the coordination of efforts to reduce disasters and to ensure synergies among the disaster reduction activities of the United Nations and regional organizations and activities in both developed and less developed countries. Led by the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction (SRSG), United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction has over 100 staff located in its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and in regional offices. Specifically, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction guides, monitors, analyses and reports on progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, supports regional and national implementation of the Framework and catalyzes action and increases global awareness to reduce disaster risk working with U.N. Member States and a broad range of partners and stakeholders, including civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians and the science and technology community.

This consultancy position is home based. The consultant will work directly under the Deputy Chief of Regional Office of UNDRR Regional Office for Arab States (ROAS) and in close coordination with the Programme Management Officer
- Risk Knowledge and Analysis.

**Responsibilities**:
Rationale decision making in disaster risk management and reduction require a robust quantification of losses and impacts, preferably using prospective approaches. For this, probabilistic risk assessments provide a comprehensive framework on which, making use of data for historical events in the domain under study, a characterization of future disaster occurrence is performed to estimate the losses for events that although have not yet happened, are feasible to do so. Even if probabilistic risk assessments will not provide all the required actions for a comprehensive Disaster Risk Management (DRM) strategy, they do provide valuable information that, if well understood (i.e. their advantages and their limitations), can assist decision makers in doing rationale choices, as for instance comparing multiple mitigation activities to choose the optimal one, design financial protection instruments and generate information for the draft of emergency plans. Models by themselves never make decisions but can inform and support them. Most probabilistic risk assessments in the pasts have been developed considering only one hazard, or by considering multiple but assuming complete independence between the events. Since many countries are exposed to hazards of different types and origins, adopting a multi-hazard approach is needed, besides adopting to a systemic overview of disaster risk on which different sectors, their interactions, disruptions, and consequences beyond the direct losses are considered.

Under the direct supervision of the Deputy Chief of UNDRR ROAS and in close coordination with the Programme Management Officer
- Risk Knowledge & Analysis, the Consultant will coordinate the implementation of the project in both Sudan and Somalia.

More specifically, the Consultant will carry out the following duties:
1. Coordinate all project-related activities and monitor progress as per the project action plans to ensure that activities are implemented in an effective and timely manner.
2. Coordinate, maintain and initiate effective dialogue with the key counterparts and stakeholders at the national level that are involved in the project implementation.
3. Develop a project plan for conducting a multi-hazard and multi-dimensional probabilistic risk assessment in Sudan & Somalia.
4. Coordinate with all the consultants involved in PRA process for hazards including floods, droughts and earthquakes, besides the consultants involved in the development of a national exposure database and all involved in the implementation of the project.
5. Technical oversight of methodology development for all 03 hazards, ensuring compatibility for all long-term uses of hazard models and maps (forecasting and early warning, risk and vulnerability mapping, emergency response planning and management etc.)
