General Background
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established on December 14, 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. The agency is mandated to provide protection (including assistance) and seek durable solutions for millions of refugees around the world. In the People’s Republic of China, UNHCR registers and conducts refugee status determination for those seeking asylum, working to help refugees find solutions to their situations. UNHCR is involved with ensuring support for the protection of refugees and works with Government authorities to build domestic capacity. In addition, it has a specific mandate for the prevention and addressing situations of statelessness.
Operational Context
Since 2016, UNHCR has had fruitful cooperation with the Chinese government and successfully implemented a number of international refugee assistance projects supported by the Chinese government, providing assistance to hundreds of thousands of refugees and internally displaced persons in Africa, Asia and the Middle East with good results achieved. The External Relations team in UNHCR China works closely with HQs, Regional Bureaux and field operations to support application, implementation and reporting of Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund (GDF, previously SSCAF) projects implemented by UNHCR. The External Relations team also works closely with China Aid stakeholders to enhance mutual understanding and strengthen collaboration.
The External Relations Associate is a member of the External Relations team and reports to the Associate External Relations Officer, who defines work objectives and provides regular advice and guidance. Both team members work closely with the Unit head, the Senior External Relations Officer. Under the supervision of the Associate External Relations Officer, the External Relations Associate will contribute to team work planning, draft meeting notes, design and provide input to PowerPoint presentations, conduct English and Chinese translation and proofreading, and draft and provide quality review to China Aid project documents including narrative and financial reports. S/he will lead on monitoring China Aid related news, tracking progress for ongoing projects and pipeline proposals, tracking External Relations team’s budget, managing filing and administrative, procurement and logistics tasks. S/he will also support the team as the working-level focal point liaising with China International Centre for Economic & Technical Exchanges (CICETE) on GDF projects. S/he may conduct research on relevant topics and provide interpretation for meetings.
The ideal candidate should have project management knowledge and experience, excellent drafting and translation skills in both English and Chinese, and the ability to build good working relationships with partners. Knowledge of global humanitarian issues and China’s foreign aid will be an asset.
