Job Description:
Background
A stable, prosperous and democratic Pakistan is a top priority for the UKs development and wider national interests. To help deliver that, DFID Pakistan has set itself four objectives: (i) building peace and stability across the region, (ii) strengthening democracy; (iii) supporting economic growth and (iv) helping the state to deliver better services to the poor. These four objectives were agreed by the National Security Council in July 2010.
But Pakistan faces enormous challenges: a fragile economy, precarious governance, infrastructure constraints, off-track MDGs and deep conflict/humanitarian challenges. This years disastrous floods have exacerbated this and threaten to undermine progress.
Following the Bilateral Aid Review it is likely that Pakistan will become one of DFIDs largest offices, with the resources and manpower to have a real impact on these challenges. That will place a premium on effective planning, strong and disciplined programme management systems and robust results monitoring. This post will be at the centre of that. Operating across the office, the post holder will be responsible for ensuring DFID Pakistan is focused on delivery. Internally, that will require proactive business planning, risk management and driving results throughout the portfolio. Externally, it will require working with the Government of Pakistan and donors to strengthen their results focus. It is a high-profile opportunity to build strong corporate and management experience.
The postholder will bring a positive, proactive and can-do attitude to the role. He/she must have demonstrated an ability to work under high-pressure in a fast-moving situation and to juggle a varied workload. Prioritisation, strong organisational skills and line management experience will be critical. Experience of statistics and results would be preferable.
