Programme Analyst- Social Cohesion - Lilongwe
Malawi has since independence remained generally a peaceful country with a few isolated incidences of violent conflicts. This has been possible through the use of traditional conflict management mechanisms and practices in resolving local and national conflicts.
Government, Civil Society Organizations and other stakeholders have provided and instituted various forms of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. These institutions include the Judiciary, District Labour Offices, the Office of the Ombudsman, Malawi Human Rights Commission, Public Affairs Committee, National Forum for Peaceful Resolution of Conflicts, etc. While some of these institutions have played a critical role in managing national conflicts, their efforts have been impeded by two main challenges, namely; lack of enabling legislation and absence of a national peace architecture that promotes pro-active rather than reactive conflict management in the country. As a result, their efforts have mostly been ad-hoc and unsustainable.
The UNDP Country Office in Malawi has responded to this challenge by supporting the Government of Malawi in its endeavour to establish a National Peace Architecture (NPA) that will provide a platform for collaborative dialogue, peace building and conflict prevention.
The primary purpose of this position, therefore, is to provide support to UNDP’s Peace and Development Advisor (PDA) in the development of a policy document and strategic plan, to spearhead the establishment of a National Peace Architecture for Malawi through the Social Cohesion project of the Country Office. Under the overall guidance and direct supervision of the Peace and Development Adviser, the position will also work closely with the UNDP Governance Cluster and CO Team.
