Hurricanes Irma and Maria impacted multiple islands within a week causing massive devastation and triggering a crisis that one year later is still affecting many communities impacted. UNDP is assisting national efforts to transition from recovery interventions to sustainable development. Given the complexity and nature of the impacted countries as well as the financial environment, UNDP’s recovery and resilience programme needs to be innovative deepening on areas of de-risking and Climate Change adaptation through innovation, private sector involvement and boosted collaboration with other UN agencies amongst others. During this transition, the team is embarking on a number of new initiatives and support to the recovery team is needed. Additionally, Barbados and the OECS sub regional office has been selected to host the Accelerator Lab focus on the Blue Economy and sustainable management of ocean degradation lab (Blue Lab). Its objective is to support Small Island Developing States (SIDS) - with focus on the Caribbean countries- and possibly countries with long coastlines, in the sustainable development of its ocean-based economic sectors in a more integrated manner thereby contributing to inclusive, environmentally sustainable and diversified economic growth. The Blue Lab will promote building the ecosystem of partnership and innovative financing arrangements needed for full implementation. The Resilience and Innovation specialist will report directly to the Senior Recovery Advisor and will work in collaboration with the Recovery Project Officer and Blue Lab team. The Innovation Specialist will work closely with the Heads of the Project Offices and the teams in the islands and other relevant partners as needed. |
