The global standard staff count to be supported by an IT focal point stands at 35. Currently, there are over 120 staff supported by two ICT Staff catering for UNDP, UNFPA, UNDSS, UN Clinic, Common Services, UNCDF and UN Resident Coordinator’s Office. The ideal situation would have been four ICT staff to support such a staff count. The situation is worsened by having staff located at another far-flung UN Annex building being under the same two ICT staff support. It is expected that more staff would be provided offices at the UN Annex. The function of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Associate requires a combination of technical and interpersonal skills. UNDP Zambia is a fast paced and ever-changing environment. To help respond to this challenge and reach our goals we are seeking to reinforce the ICT Unit with additional human resources for a period of one year. ICT Unit activities are carefully thought through to ensure they are rational, justified and aim to effectively support users’ requirements and needs. The ICT Associate will work closely with the ICT Manager as well as the Office Technology Coordinator on tasks and activities that support UNDP’s programmes and projects.
