- Background to UN-Habitat The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable human settlements development and the achievement of adequate shelter for all. For over forty-five years UN-Habitat has been working in human settlements throughout the world, focusing on building a brighter future for cities and towns of all sizes. One of the four focus area under the Strategic Plan 2020-2025 is Strengthened Climate Action and Improved Urban Environment. UN-Habitat Regional Office for Africa (ROAf) established the Sub-regional Office of Southern Africa, to strengthen UN-Habitat presence in sub-regional/country level by engaging sub-regional/country level coordination and activities including the UNCTs, the UN AFPs initiatives, governments, donors, development partners, sub-regional entities and any other relevant dialogues. UN-Habitat Sub-Regional Office for Southern Africa covers 13 countries including South Africa, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Madagascar, Comoros, Seychelles, and Mauritius. The Office cooperates with the SADC (South African Development Community) secretariat based in Botswana, providing substantive assistance to the country level as well as sub-regional level. In response to the rapid urbanization in the sub-region, the agency’s work is expanding: in addition to the current permanent presence of staff in Mozambique, Malawi, Comoros and Madagascar, the agency is currently opening an office in South Africa. Background to the position UN-Habitat is opening an office in South Africa, to strengthen the agency’s programming and support to the national/local authorities in South Africa and neighbouring countries. The office is expected to be operational in early 2025. UN-Habitat's flagship programme, Resilient Settlements for the Urban Poor (RISE UP) aims to boost resilience and socio-economic prosperity of urban poor communities in the Global South by 2030. The program currently supports South Africa, Lao PDR, Madagascar and Sri Lanka, targeting urban dwellers in informal settlements and climate hotspots by reducing climate-related disruption of livelihoods and improving basic services. The project will enhance capacity to access climate finance of national and local governments in least-developed countries, developing countries and small island states, focusing on sustainable, net-zero, and climate resilient development. South-south, regional and interregional cooperation will facilitate knowledge exchange and technical cooperation to strengthen government capacities. The project will seek to mobilize climate adaptation finance where urban risks and vulnerabilities are highest, by assessing multi-layered urban risks and climate vulnerabilities, proposing responsive actions, and prioritizing for the development of bankable urban climate action proposals for climate finance. It will showcase the commitments of local governments and urban practitioners through the Innovate4Cities partnership, in collaboration with Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, at major international forums such as UNFCCC, CBD COPs, World Urban Forum. The project will leverage existing synergies with the SURGe Initiative for global scaling. In South Africa, implementation will focus on disaster (flood)-prone areas of EThekwini Municipality Area, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, and Port St Johns in the Eastern Cape province. This position is to act as a focal point for the RISE UP project in South Africa for UN Habitat, and to contribute to the development and implementation of the agency’s broader programming in South Africa. Objectives Building on the efforts of establishing a RISE UP Secretariat, the overall objective of the project is to enhance interregional knowledge exchange and capacities of national and local governments in Lao PDR, Madagascar, South Africa, and Sri Lanka for urban sustainable, net-zero, climate resilient and nature positive development for the most vulnerable urban communities. Long-term, the project will support the integration of urban climate issues into NDCs, NAPs and municipal and national climate policy. The project has two expected outcomes: 1. Enhanced interregional knowledge exchange and strengthened capacities of national and local governments in Lao PDR, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and South Africa to understand local multi-layered risks and vulnerabilities (climate change, biodiversity & urban) and develop appropriate response options. 2. Strengthened capacity of national and local governments in Lao PDR, Madagascar, South Africa, and Sri Lanka to develop appropriate bankable climate action projects in
