The invasion of Ukraine by the military forces of Russian Federation launched on February 24, 2022 has caused severe damages to the increasingly fragile social and humanitarian situation in Ukraine, and a humanitarian disaster of a proportion not seen in Europe since 1945 is now increasingly likely to occur. While the human and -economic cost of the conflict continues to grow, the Government of Ukraine remains resilient, sustaining key government functions to ensure delivery of services for population on the move. 

Ongoing hostilities and remnants of war prevent humanitarian provisions from being delivered to communities impacted by the war, leading to these communities with depleted resources and life-threatening situations. Delivery of food, water, medication, and non-food items are immediate needs for these impacted districts. Needs are also immediate for the repair of critical infrastructure such as water supply and power, where human health risks increase daily from the lack of these basic services.

Widespread presence of landmines, cluster munition and other explosive remnants of war in Ukraine pose a considerable and mounting threat to civilian populations that have both remained in residential areas in Ukraine and those that have chosen, or have been forced, to relocate. Explosive Ordnance (EO) also poses a significant threat to the international community (including the UN and our partners) when delivering humanitarian assistance inside Ukraine. Mine action has therefore become a precondition for safe in-country emergency assistance. 

In parallel with EO challenges, the extensive presence of damaged and unstable buildings with resulting debris poses a real threat to human health from uncontrolled collapse, contamination (i.e., from asbestos) and debris acting as physical barriers to access. 

To support the Government and people of Ukraine, UNDP is launching a project on emergency explosive ordnance clearance and debris removal in Ukraine. The project will help identify critical delivery routes to ensure access and humanitarian support, liaise with the National Mine Action Authority to survey and clear these routes of explosive ordnance presence, facilitate safe access with the demolition of any unstable structures and the removal of debris, and maintain cleared routes for continued safe access.

In this context, UNDP is recruiting Monitoring and Evaluation Analyst who will be responsible for the overall support of implementation of the described project and other related outputs related in the portfolio, performing a variety of standard operational services within the project’s frameworks ensuring high quality and accuracy of work.
