Organisation of the Secretariat Sample Clauses

Organisation of the Secretariat. The Secretariat is organised into four units which cover four broad areas of work: 1. General Management; 2. Science, Implementation and Compliance; African Initiative; and Information Management, Communications and Awareness-Raising. The individual staff members and units work closely as a team, interacting with each other daily on cross-cutting issues. It should be noted that the AEWA Information Unit is part of the joint Information Management, Communication and Awareness-raising Unit (IMCA) co-funded by AEWA and CMS. Without the extension of the part-time positions through voluntary contributions, the availability of staff funded entirely through voluntary contributions and the support of interns, the Secretariat would be in a position where it could deliver even less services against all its mandates. In 2019, 2020 and 2021 the Secretariat applied for a UNEP Junior Professional Officer (JPO) position to support the work of the Technical Committee. Unfortunately, in all years the applications were unsuccessful. We have applied again in 2022 as this position is key in stepping up the Secretariat’s facilitative role for the work of the Technical Committee.
