GEF: Four positions within the Regional Project Coordination Unit

The Council of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) recently approved the regional Sustainable Integrated Water Resources and Wastewater Management Project (Pacific IWRM) for implementation. The Pacific IWRM Project will start in 2008 and will run for five years to 2013 with a total contribution from the GEF of US$10.7 million. The Project will help fourteen Pacific Island Countries address problems of pollution entering ground and surface water, as well as support improved management of clean water for drinking and sanitation.

Applications are invited for four positions within the Regional Project Coordination Unit (PCU). The regional PCU will be based within the Community Lifelines Programme of the Secretariat of the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), located in Suva, Fiji Islands. The PCU will provide a technical support, coordination, supervision, and management function for the implementation of the Pacific IWRM Project and will operate in accordance with the rules and procedures of Implementing Agencies UNDP/UNEP, Executing Agency SOPAC, and the GEF.
