Historique

The Joint Steering Committee (JSC) was established in September 2013 and is co-chaired by the Prime Minister, the Special Adviser of the United Nations Secretary-General for Yemen (SASG) and the United Nations Resident Coordinator. The Prime Minister has delegated the chairmanship of the JSC to the Minister of Planning and International Cooperation and the SASG has delegated it to the Senior Officer of the Office of the SASG based in Yemen. The Government is represented by the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Secretary General of the Prime Minister Office; bilateral donors are represented by the GCC, Netherlands, Turkey, UK and US; the multilateral agencies by IOM, UNDP and UNHCR; and the INGO Forum Chair represents the international NGOs. Finally a representative of the Yemeni society is in the process of being added.

The PBF Secretariat in Yemen will be set up to provide key support to the Joint Steering Committee, particularly though not exclusively through coordination of RUNO activities in support of achieving results identified by the Peacebuilding Priority Plan (PPP). The tasks of the Secretariat, among others, include the coordination of the implementation of the Yemen Peacebuilding Priority Plan, the organization and preparation of JSC meetings, conducting consultations with relevant stakeholders, communicating the process of implementation of the PPP to all relevant stakeholders, as well as monitoring and reporting on the peacebuilding outcomes of the PPP. To ensure the full engagement of national actors, including Government and civil society, the Secretariat will also be expected to provide capacity building on topics relevant to peacebuilding to the national and local authorities, implementing partners and the people involved in the peacebuilding programme. The Secretariat serves as an interface between the strategic decision-making level bodies, the state institutions and the UN Agencies in the country and PBSO.

An international officer (a programme coordinator) will be responsible for the management of the PBF Secretariat. S/He will supervise two national officers (one monitoring and evaluation expert and one peacebuilding expert) and one national project assistant. The programme coordinator will work under the supervision of the United Nations Resident Coordinator Office Head and the overall guidance and supervision of the co-chairs of the JSC.

The Programme Coordinator will be based in the JSC Secretariat in Sana’a and will collaborate closely with the Minister of Planning, government counterparts, the civil society, the Office of the UN Resident Coordinator (RCO) and the UN Country Team (UNCT).
