Strategic Planning and Risk Reduction Coordinator

UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)

Coordinate strategic initiatives integrating disaster risk reduction and digital transformation with ethical AI considerations. Oversee monitoring and evaluation frameworks for resilience programs. Manage grants and maintain archival records. This role fuses strategic leadership, DRR, digital ethics, M&E, and records management.
### Strategic Analysis This role sits at the intersection of two critical global trends: the escalating frequency and severity of disasters due to climate change, and the rapid digitization of humanitarian operations. By integrating disaster risk reduction with ethical AI, the coordinator ensures that digital tools are deployed responsibly—avoiding bias, protecting data privacy, and enhancing resilience rather than creating new vulnerabilities. The emphasis on monitoring and evaluation (M&E) underscores a shift toward evidence-based, accountable programming, which is essential for donor confidence and impact measurement. In a landscape where humanitarian needs outpace resources, this position bridges strategic foresight with operational rigor, making it a linchpin for sustainable development. Globally, UNDRR’s work aligns with the Sendai Framework and SDGs, positioning this role as a catalyst for systemic change in how we anticipate, prepare for, and respond to shocks.
