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.

UN-Habitat is starting a new project with the Municipality of Juiz de Fora named Territories of Citizenship: a territorial and social approach to achieve the SDGs in the city of Juiz de Fora and leave no one and no territory behind, with the objective to improve the definition and implementation of urban policies and public services targeting vulnerable urban populations in Juiz de Fora.

In order to meet with greater demand to implement the abovementioned project, the office of Rio de Janeiro is looking for a Communications Assistant to assist communications planning and implementation.
