**THE ROLE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT**

The African Risk Capacity is a Specialised Agency of the African Union established in 2012 as an African-owned index-based weather risk insurance that provides African countries with tools and products to quantify and manage disaster risk. ARC offers a comprehensive, integrated solution that transfers weather risk away from governments and the vulnerable households they protect, to ARC. This enables governments to build resilience and better plan, prepare for and respond to extreme weather events.

ARC Agency established its first financial affiliate, ARC Insurance Company Limited (ARC Ltd.) in 2013 as a sovereign risk pool in the form of a mutual insurer owned by member governments. Whereas the ARC Agency provides capacity-building services to Member States in risk profiling, contingency planning, and monitoring and evaluation; ARC Ltd. issues weather insurance policies to governments. It uses ARC's risk modelling and early warning software platform Africa RiskView to estimate the impact of weather events on vulnerable populations. In addition, it also estimates the response costs required to assist them before a hazard season begins and as it progresses. This ensures that index-based insurance pay-outs, based on predictions from Africa RiskView, are triggered at or before harvest time if the rains are poor or as soon as a severe flood or cyclone has occurred.

Under the supervision of the ARC Director for Research and Development, the Head of the Technical Support Division will be responsible for managing the activities of the ARC Secretariat Technical Support Division (TSD), including the services provided to the in-country technical working groups (TWGs) and, as an analyst, for guiding and supporting the technical activities of both the TWGs and the Secretariat.

**KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES (not all-inclusive)**
- Manage the Technical Support Division's day-to-day operations and staff and prioritise the Division's workload given country demand of technical services as and when required to ensure high-quality core business and service delivery to in-country TWGs working towards or participating in the ARC insurance pool, ARC staff and other partners;
- Supervise and guide the Africa RiskView (ARV) customisation and validation work, including:

- Coordinate and organise activities and in-country support so that work is completed on time and to a high-level, with timely support provided to the in-country TWGs to finalise annual ARV customization and validation repor
