Context
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP) has established the Humanitarian Emergency Response (HER) Roster to support speedy recruitment of qualified and motivated UN Volunteers for potential emergency response assignments. Candidates will be pre-screened based on their qualifications, experience, and suitability for the specific thematic or functional areas described in this Description of Assignment (DoA). Shortlisted candidates may remain in the UNV HER Roster for up to 6 months and be contacted should an emergency arise. Inclusion in the UNV HER Roster does not guarantee recruitment as a UN Volunteer. Selection and recruitment timelines will depend on the emergency occurrence, availability of candidates, and final approval by the UN host entity in accordance with Conditions of Service for UN Volunteers.
UNFPA is the lead United Nations agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is intended, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. The UNFPA Strategic Plan for 2026-2029 articulates the organization’s response to a complex global environment, providing a roadmap for resilience and renewal. It is designed to accelerate the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. This mandate is pursued through a focus on four interconnected outcomes: ending the unmet need for family planning; ending preventable maternal deaths; ending gender-based violence and harmful practices; and adapting to demographic change through evidence and rights-based policies.
In the Philippines, UNFPA is implementing its five-year 9th Country Programme 2024-2028. The CP9 is tightly aligned with the mid- and long-term development goals of the Philippines and Ambisyon Natin 2040, as well as the global Agenda 2030 including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As the lead UN agency for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), UNFPA supports national and local government partners in emergency response, ensuring the continuity of life-saving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and gender-based violence (GBV) services during humanitarian emergencies. The Philippines is one of the world's most disaster-prone countries, experiencing frequent typhoons, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, droughts, and disease outbreaks, in addition to recurrent humanitarian needs arising from armed conflict and displacement in parts of Mindanao. These emergencies disproportionately affect women, girls, adolescents, and other vulnerable populations by disrupting access to SRH services, increasing the risks of GBV, and exposing communities to protection concerns. Maintaining a roster of qualified humanitarian specialists enables UNFPA Philippines to rapidly deploy technical surge capacity to support preparedness, anticipatory action, emergency response, early recovery, and humanitarian-development-peace nexus programming, while ensuring the timely delivery of life-saving SRH, GBV, and population data interventions in coordination with government and humanitarian partners.
