About Crisis Management Office

UNDP Programme Analyst Vacancy, Crisis Preparedness and Response (Office-Based). UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office (CO) levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan. Within the GPN, the Crisis Bureau (CB) guides UNDP’s corporate crisis-related strategies and vision for crisis prevention, response and recovery and lead corporate support in response to crisis. To fulfil its mandate, the CB is committed to investing in developing reliable capacities that can be rapidly deployed to COs.

Since 2006, the SURGE mechanism (Learning + Crisis Response + Deployments) has been the CB’s signature solution to supporting COs through crisis situations, by providing the right expertise at the right time. It is recognized as not only an important resource for COs, but an experiential learning mechanism for crisis personnel in UNDP. Building on the success of the SURGE Academy model, the Crisis Academy was launched in 2022 as a robust people-centred knowledge and learning system to equip and enhance readiness of country-level leadership and practitioners to deal with the complexity of crisis contexts.

In this context and to prepare for, respond to, and support recovery from major crises, UNDP Country Offices (COs) have often to meet multiple demands and pressures in addition to their usual workload. Under these circumstances, COs often have a critical need for additional capacity, knowledge and experience to help them meet these demands and facilitate essential roles in these areas. To address these needs, CSMT works closely with COs to deepen UNDP internal capacities together through both the capacity building and Deployments schemes which offers several deployable capacities that can be drawn upon, including SURGE Advisors, and external experts from the GPN/ExpRes roster and Stand-by Partners.
