Background The UN Resident Coordinator’s Office (RCO) in Angola leads the coordination of the United Nations development system in support of the Government of Angola’s national priorities and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Angola currently serves as the African Union’s Champion for Peace and Reconciliation, a role that has amplified the country’s leadership in mediation, dialogue facilitation, and regional peace processes such as the Luanda Process. In this context, a dedicated Project Initiation Plan (PIP) has been developed to strengthen the implementation of Angola’s continental mandate. The PIP outlines strategic areas of engagement including: support to mediation and regional diplomacy; national peace infrastructure; and inclusive platforms that promote the participation of women. The incumbent will work closely with UNDP, and government counterparts to ensure effective implementation of the PIP, strategic alignment with UN frameworks, and timely delivery of related outputs. The Joint UNDP–DPPA Program on Building National Capacities for Conflict Prevention supports the United Nations system and national partners in advancing integrated approaches to sustaining peace.

In Angola, these efforts were previously supported through a Peace and Development Advisor (PDA) and National Officer, who worked with the Resident Coordinator, the UN Country Team and the wider UN system to strengthen conflict analysis, inform program design, and facilitate dialogue and partnerships for prevention and sustaining peace. Building on this work, the Coordination and Political Affairs Analyst will provide technical support, coordination and policy support to the RCO.
