Terms of Reference

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is seeking an Associate External Relations Officer (Development) within the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) Coordination Team.

The Global Compact on Refugees (GCR), affirmed in December 2018, set out a framework for ensuring more predictable and sustainable burden and responsibility sharing arrangements in the context of large-scale movements of refugees. Key amongst these arrangements is a Global Refugee Forum (GRF), convened every four years with States and other stakeholders. The first Forum was convened in December 2019, and every two years in between fora, a High-Level Officials Meeting is envisioned to take stock of progress and maintain momentum in the implementation of the GCR.

The GCR Coordination Team supports efforts to maintain oversight of the overall implementation of the GCR and to coordinate the substantive preparations for key events related to the GCR, including the second Global Refugee Forum that will be held in December 2023, in close collaboration with the Governance Service, Divisions and the Bureaux.

The desired candidate will have proven experience in managing/organizing large events/conferences, including proving planning skills and advanced communication skills are essential.
