Background

The main mandate of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is to promote sustainable development of human settlements and policies conducive to adequate housing for all. Within this framework, UN-Habitat supports central and state governments, as well as local authorities and other partners for the implementation of the Habitat Agenda, the 2030 Agenda with the Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda.

UN-Habitat helps the urban poor by transforming cities into safer, more inclusive, compact, integrated, resilient and connected places with better opportunities where everyone can live with dignity. It works with organizations at every level, including all spheres of government, civil society and the private sector to help build, manage, plan and finance sustainable urban development.

The Regional Office for Latin American and the Caribbean - ROLAC - is based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Agency puts emphasis in developing and managing activities in the host country. Indeed, for the past years, UN-Habitat has expanded its portfolio in Brazil by working with the three tiers of government in order to support the formulation and implementation of more effective, sustainable, participative and socially fairer urban economic, social and environmental policies.

Recently, UN-Habitat initiated a project with the aims to support the Municipal Government of São Gonçalo to reduce inequalities in the municipality based on the fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda in the city. In particular, the proposal focuses on improving the capacities and conditions of the Municipality Direct Administration in monitoring of urban conditions and trends at the local level and providing evidence-based information to build sustainable and integrated urban policies locally, complementing the objectives of the city's Strategic Plan, called “Novos Rumos”, and the five pillars that guide it: transparent and efficient public administration, safe city, well-cared city, healthy city and fair and inclusive city.

In order to properly implement this project, the office in São Gonçalo is looking for a Communications Assistant to ensure good execution of the work programme.
