UNOPS LICA6 2024-06-17 May 5, 2024 General Background:

Established in December 1950, UNHCR is mandated to lead and coordinate international action to protect and assist refugees and to find durable solutions to their plight. During more than seven decades, UNHCR has helped more than 84 million people restart their lives. Today, UNHCR staff in more than 135 countries continue to help and protect millions of refugees, returnees, internally displaced and stateless people.

UNHCR has relocated several key functions from our Headquarters in Geneva to UN City in Copenhagen, including UNHCR’s Private Sector Partnerships Service (PSP), which supports UNHCR’s growing engagement with the general public and the private sector in all regions of the world.

UNHCR continues to scale up its engagement with the Danish private sector, in particular large foundations and corporates, through strong strategic partnerships that involve financial or in-kind support as well as technical collaboration, employee and/or customer engagement, joint advocacy and campaigns or other forms of collaboration.

The Evergreens are advertised per grade/ level; candidates can apply to one or more levels. If meeting all eligibility criteria at the given level and subject to functional clearance (if applicable), candidates will be added to the relevant talent pool.
