Community Services Assistant

Background of The United Nations Development Programme 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 and assistance and seek durable solutions for refugees and other persons of concern. Zambia has hosted refugees from Angola since the 1960s, who lost refugee status in 2012. In the 1990s, Zambia received influxes of Rwandan refugees; most of whom lost their refugee status in 2013. The Government of Zambia pledged in 2011 that it would locally integrate an initial group of former Angolan refugees; in 2015, the Government expanded the local integration criteria to cover all 18,685 Angolans and also some 4,000 Rwandans. In April 2014, the Government (Ministry of Home Affairs) and UNHCR developed and launched a three-year local integration strategy and resulting program. The program operates within the dimensions of peacebuilding/coexistence and develop-ment: it seeks to implement local integration as a durable solution to protracted displacement, moving from a humanitarian relief approach focused on protection, to a development approach focused on enabling sustainability and self-reliance. The Senior Supply Assistant provides support supply to all local activities pertaining to the supply chain function including planning, sourcing, transport, shipping, customs clearance and warehousing in the operation.
