Role Purpose and Context

A Donor Officer with financial expertise plays a key role within the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture’s Mine Action Office (“Demine Ukraine”). This role focuses on design, coordination, and implementation of mine action–related projects, particularly those involving cooperation with International Financial Institutions (IFIs), government agencies, and international partners.

This role is focused on project management, operational coordination, and ensuring effective delivery of activities related to Ukraine’s demining and land recovery agenda.

3. Technical & Strategic Support

• Draft concept notes, memos, and briefing materials for senior management and international stakeholders.
• Support the preparation of feasibility studies and operational planning documents in collaboration with technical experts.
• Ensure project design and execution align with national recovery strategies, mine action policy frameworks, and donor requirements.

 4. Research
