The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) was established in 1997 and is the global leader in the fight for global peace and security, human rights, and development by making the world safer from drugs, crime, corruption, and terrorism by working for and with Member States to promote justice and the rule of law and build resilient societies. UNODC has its HQ in Vienna, Austria, and supports 150 countries and territories around the world, with physical presence in 111 countries through its network of 11 Regional Offices, 7 Country Offices, and the liaison offices in New York and Brussels, with a total of 3,276 personnel globally, 77 per cent of them based in the field. UNODC works closely with Governments and civil society towards building security and justice for all. The UNODC Regional Office for the Middle East and North Africa (ROMENA) covers 19 countries (Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen). In addition to the Regional Office located in Cairo, Egypt, there are 11 Programmes Offices in Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, South Sudan, Sudan, Tunisia, and Yemen. The Regional Office in Cairo where the UN Volunteer will be integrated has a total of 118 staff members. ROMENA has in place a Regional Framework for the Arab States (2023-2028) (RF) which sets out UNODC’s mission to contribute to peace and security, human rights, and development by making the region safer from drugs, crime, corruption, and terrorism, including by reducing violence and inequalities within society. The RF lays out a roadmap to guide UNODC programming and accelerate progress towards Agenda 2030 in pursuit of key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by framing how UNODC will strengthen, prioritize, customize, and deliver support to the Arab region in effective response to some of the most pressing challenges faced by these countries. The RF articulates six focus areas for guiding UNODC-implemented programming at the regional and national levels: 1. A balanced approach to drug control; 2. Strengthening the response to organized crime; 3. Combating trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants; 4. Action against corruption and financial crime; 5. Preventing and countering terrorism and violence; and 6. Strengthening crime/violence prevention and criminal justice. The UN Volunteer will provide direct support to the team in charge of implementing UNODC projects and programmes in the MENA region under focus area 3 on ‘Combating trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants’ (TIP and SOM).
Trafficking in persons (TIP) and smuggling of migrants (SOM) are two of the most pervasive forms of organized crime in the Arab States and involve serious human rights violations. These crimes disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, particularly women and children, and are often driven by systemic inequalities, conflict, and lack of access to justice and protection mechanisms. Given their situation, irregular migrants are more vulnerable to smuggling and trafficking and they make up for 60 per cent of the detected victims of trafficking in the Middle East and 25 per cent in North Africa. The Arab States are particularly prone to TIP and SOM as countries of the region are origin, transit, and destination countries for irregular migration. Despite existing normative international and continental frameworks, many Arab countries continue to face challenges in preventing and countering TIP and SOM, and how to address their drivers and enablers. This can be attributed to the lack of capacities, financial resources, and regional coordination and cooperation to prevent and counter TIP and SOM, coupled with a lack of accurate and updated data and evidence-based research on flexible and changing migration patterns and routes, all necessary to inform policy planning and decision making. The UN Volunteer will support the UNODC TIP and SOM team based in Tunis, Tunisia, with programme development, coordination and reporting, as well as general administrative assistance for initiatives under UNODC’s TIP and SOM portfolio in the MENA region.
Under the direct supervision of the Regional Programme Coordinator (Anti-Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling) and in close coordination with the National Programme Officer, the UN Volunteer will undertake the following tasks: • Assist the National Programme Officer and the team in effective liaison and communications, inter alia ensuring flow of information to internal and external stakeholders through coordination, preparation and circulation of regular updates, newsletters, reports, web-stories and other written outputs to ensure visibility of the Programme, in line with any donor visibility requirements. • Support the planning, coordination, and delivery of programme activities, such as workshops, training courses, study tours, official meetings, and other TIP and SOM-related events. • Assist in the preparation and dissemination of evaluation/feedback reports upon completion of activities and support the compilation and consolidation of the responses; • Support the monitoring and evaluation of projects by assisting in monitoring the achievement of indicators and documenting good practices/lessons learned from TIP and SOM projects; • Support the communication and visibility activities under the TIP and SOM portfolio in close coordination with the relevant Programme Coordinators and the Communication Officer, including through contributing to the design, drafting, and dissemination of communication media (webstories, brochures, project sheets, publications on ROMENA social networks); • Support the preparation, organization, and reporting on expert/project staff missions and technical meetings, as required; • Assist with the translation of relevant documents, as needed; • Provide general administrative assistance, including drafting minutes of meetings (meetings with donors, partners, programme coordinators, and heads of offices, etc.), organizing files, and supporting logistical arrangements for programme activities, support in drafting background notes, taking points, speeches etc. • Perform other related duties as requested by supervisor, as appropriate.

Volunteerism is understood as a wide range of activities undertaken of free will, for the general public good, for which monetary reward is not the principal motivating factor.
1) Living Conditions Living conditions in Tunisia are highly appreciated and comparable to those of northern Mediterranean countries. The country enjoys a Mediterranean climate in almost all regions, except for the south, which features a more arid climate. In addition to its mild climate and varied landscapes, Tunisia has a rich cultural heritage, making it one of the most visited countries in the world. It is also renowned for its gastronomic attractions and a culinary tradition inherited from a millennia-old history. According to a ranking by the American magazine Ceoworld, Tunisia is the 7th least expensive country in the world. The country has a recognized healthcare system and a quality education system. It is equipped with all the necessary infrastructure and amenities for optimal living comfort. The capital, Tunis, is relatively easy to navigate. Public transportation is available and affordable. Crime rates remain relatively low, despite an increase in reported acts of violence. Tunisia is currently going through a critical phase of democratic and social transition; it is therefore important to stay informed about the political situation. Security advice is systematically provided by UNDSS and UNHCR security personnel. Given that this is a national UN Volunteer assignment, the volunteer will be responsible for organizing their own accommodation and basic needs. 2) Conditions of Service for National UN Volunteers The contract is issued for the indicated period, with the possibility of extension subject to the availability of funds, operational necessity, and satisfactory performance.
