The UN Youth Volunteer works in the UNMAS Colombia Programme. In the Colombian context since the signature of the landmark peace agreement in 2016, mine action interventions are focussing on “post-conflict” areas of the country, always taking into consideration the maximization of its impact in the three dimensions of the nexus, humanitarian, sustaining peace, and development, to ensure long term sustainability.

The programme aims to provide technical assistance to Colombia's humanitarian mine action sector to deliver a more robust and holistic response to affected communities and contribute to broader protection, security and peace-building objectives. UNMAS Colombia’s technical assistance also includes coordinating the humanitarian mine action Area of Responsibility (OR) of the humanitarian architecture, supporting the protection cluster and other humanitarian for assisting the socio-economic reintegration of former FARC-EP combatants through employment in humanitarian mine action, and supporting the coordination and integration of humanitarian mine action matters at the regional level.

Under the direct supervision of the Chief of Mine Action Programme (CMAP) the UN Youth Volunteer will undertake the following tasks:

- Support drafting weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual programme/project reports;

- Support the preparation of draft budgets and project proposals/documents as well as extension requests for ongoing and new projects to be submitted to donors;

- Contribute to the management of programme/project monitoring and evaluation mechanisms (e.g. management of indicator data, administration and analysis of programme/project activity reporting).

- Facilitate capturing cross-project lessons learn and best practice transfer through documentation and dissemination/sharing of lessons learned.

- Support UNMAS Colombia participation in inter-agency mechanisms as necessary, including its leadership of the humanitarian mine action area of responsibility.

- Support UNMAS Colombia communications and visibility strategy (drafting of social media content, support with the organization of events, etc.)

- Support implementation of the UNMAS Colombia’s Resource Mobilization strategy

- Participate in the documentation of decisions and actions taken on programme issues.
