Created in December 1999, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is the designated focal point in the United Nations system for the coordination of efforts to reduce disasters and to ensure synergies among the disaster reduction activities of the United Nations and regional organizations and activities in both developed and less developed countries. Led by the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction (SRSG), UNDRR has over 140 staff located in its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and in regional offices. Specifically, UNDRR guides, monitors, analyses and reports on progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, supports regional and national implementation of the Framework and catalyzes action and increases global awareness to reduce disaster risk working with UN Member States and a broad range of partners and stakeholders, including civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians and the science and technology community. This position, located within the Communication, Advocacy, Knowledge Management and ICT section of UNDRR, works in close guidance from the UNDRR Bonn office, Risk Knowledge Branch, and will be based in Bangkok, Thailand. This is a temporary project position to develop the new ‘Tracking System for hazardous events and disaster losses and damages’ (disaster tracking system in short, DTS). The new system will replace UNDRR’s Des Inventar platform and be more comprehensive and interoperable. The overall initiative to develop a new generation of losses and damage tracking system is led by the UNDRR Bonn Office in partnership with UNDP and WMO and has a clear focus on providing services to member states to enhance their disaster losses and damages tracking capabilities.
