The UNDP Rule of Law and Security Programme (ROLS) is actively engaged in law enforcement, judiciary, custodial corps, DDR and mine action in all regions of Somalia.
In response to recent developments within Somalia, the ROLS programme is actively pursuing strategies to support policing as a priority issue in Somalia.
The Somali Police Force officers have been trained by or through the UNDP Law Enforcement project in community based policing.
The trained police are listed as recipients of monthly stipends through donor funding.
Since 2007 the UNDP ROLS Law Enforcement (LE) Project has been responsible for the payment of stipends to the Somali Police Force (SPF).
The process of payment of monthly stipends is subject to the UNDP financial rules and regulations as well as donors’ specific requirements.
However, due to deteriorating security circumstances in Somalia, UNDP is not able to oversee that such procedures are adhered to.
It is therefore highly imperative that new and accountable systems are introduced within the Somali Police Force, to be accredited by UNDP, donors and Somali stakeholders.
In January and February 2009 new efforts were put in place to resume the payment of stipends.
This pilot project will continue until a structural solution is found and embedded in the stipend payment modality in the UN-Counterpart Framework.
The incumbent will advise the Civilian Police Project Manager on the continuation of the implementation of the pilot payment of stipends to members of the Somali Police Force, as per the December 2008 tri-partite agreement between UNDP, SPF and relevant donors, and provide recommendations as appropriate.
The Administrative Assistant works in close collaboration with the Operations, Programme and projects staff in the CO and other UN agencies staff to exchange information and ensure consistent service delivery.
