1. Purpose:
The number of emergencies that UNICEF responds to is increasing. So is the complexity of the response.
UNICEF ESARO benefits from having a presence in 21 countries in the region, and such presence comes with expectations to respond to natural disasters like the Horn of Africa Drought and Flood and complex emergencies seen in Somalia and Northern Uganda, to name a few.
The Regional Emergency Team is newly established within the Regional Office.
Its main responsibility is to coordinate surge capacity to the field.
This means fielding staff with very short notice. The main tools we use are database systems, such as the Global Web Roster and HRIS.
The team also fulfils important monitoring and evaluation functions, with regards to operational response and capacity building.
The Team liaises closely with the Regional Technical Advisors and the Division of Human Resources, New York Headquarters.
The Regional Emergency Focal Point in ESAR is also responsible for overall capacity building and the development and implementation of a Regional Rapid Response Mechanism.
