**Description**:
**Background**

**Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and**
**inspiring stories.**

UNDP continues to operate in various areas considered as high-threat locations, both in crisis and post-crisis environments. UNDP is expected to be present in crisis situations, whether they are due to natural disasters, political upheavals or other conditions. There is an increase of violent attacks and acts of extremism, which continue to hinder UNDP’s programmes and activities.

The threat against the United Nations, and by extension to the Agencies, Funds and Programmes of the UN system, transcends borders and requires a broader approach to security risk management.

This context necessitates that UNDP develop and maintain a responsive and client-oriented approach to management of security activities complementing the UN Security Management System, and addressing the UNDP-specific reporting, risk mitigation and associated efforts to protect our personnel and eligible family members, and assets, while enabling UNDP’s programs and operations.

The RSA will liaise directly with the Regional Bureau (RB) and Resident Representatives on security related issues.

The RSA will collaterally serve as the Security Focal Point for RBAS, providing direct and continuous support to the security risks management activities within the Bureau, and the responsibility and accountabilities related to the function, including reporting, oversight and guidance/advice.

The RSA will be supported by Sub-Regional Security Specialists, Senior/Field Security Specialists, National Security Officers and Country Office Security Associates, for which s/he will have technical oversight.

S/he will enable UNDP programme delivery while ensuring the safety and security of UNDP personnel and eligible family members, while working closely with other UN Security Management System (UNSMS) organizations, including the UN Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS), and within the UNSMS and UNDP’s security policies and frameworks.
