Cultural diversity is another significant feature with more than 140 nationalities present in the workforce of both organizations.

3. Develops and maintains internal administrative procedures to ensure that allocated human, financial and other resources are managed effectively.

5. Provides advice to the organizations on health matters that are related to key institutional changes such as decentralization or restructuration.

6. Provides guidance regarding policy matters related to medical insurance plans and disability programs, and proposes initiatives that could improve the delivery and cost-effectiveness of these plans and programs.

7. Develops and maintains open internal communication with management, staff, staff associations and various structures of the conflict resolution system.

For your information, an appointment is coterminous if it is 100 percent funded from sources other than the Bank Group's administrative budget. After one year, the Bank Group may terminate a coterminous appointment if the funding source terminates or reduces the funding for the position. Coterminous service does not count toward the maximum length of a Term appointment.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is a multilateral financial mechanism created in 1991 to provide grant and concessional funds to recipient countries for projects and programs that address biodiversity loss, climate change, degradation of international waters, land degradation, ozone depletion and persistent organic pollutants within the framework of sustainable development.

GEF operates as a financial mechanism for three international environmental conventions: the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. GEF is a designated financial mechanism of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification.

As part of the Marrakech accords in 2001, the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) established the Adaptation Fund (AF) in Decision 10/CP.7 “Funding under the Kyoto Protocol.” The decision established the AF to finance concrete adaptation projects and programs in developing country Parties and decided that the AF would “be financed from the share of proceeds on the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project activities and other sources of funding.”

At the Thirteen session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in conjunction with the Third Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, held in Bali, Indonesia in December 2007, Global Environment Facility (GEF) was requested by the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to provide Secretariat services to the Adaptation Fund Board and the Adaptation Fund on an interim basis.

In April 2008, the GEF Council accepted the invitation of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol asking the GEF to provide Secretariat services to the Adaptation Fund on an interim basis, and directed the GEF CEO and Secretariat to make necessary arrangements to provide such services.

One of the innovative features of the Adaptation Fund is that countries can have direct access to the funds through an accredited National Implementing Entity (NIE), without involvement of multilateral agencies such as development banks or UN agencies. Alternatively, the countries can use the conventional path of accessing funding through accredited Multilateral Implementing Entities (MIEs).

Among the principles established for the Adaptation Fund (Decision 5/CMP.2) is “sound financial management, including the use of international fiduciary standards.” At its 7th meeting the Adaptation Fund Board adopted fiduciary standards governing the use, disbursement and reporting on funds issued by the Adaptation Fund covering three broad areas: Financial Integrity and Management; Institutional Capacity; and Transparency and Self-investigative Powers.
In order to ensure that organizations receiving Adaptation Fund money, both NIEs and MIEs, meet the fiduciary standards, the Board has established an Accreditation Panel. The Panel consists of three independent experts and two Board members.

The Adaptation Fund (AF) is currently recruiting an Operations Officer to take on the primary responsibility of providing support to the Accreditation Panel (Panel) and to coordinate the entire accreditation process. The incumbent will be supervised by the Senior Program Manager (Adaptation Fund)

The incumbent will be expected to carry out the following duties and responsibilities:
