Vacancy
Background | ||
Please note that this vacancy notice is for an extra-budgetary (ExB) funded position with the duration until 1 October 2020.
The Conflict Prevention Centre (CPC) proposes to develop a new software application, the Information Management and Reporting System (iMARS), which will replace the current Excel based Confidence- and Security-Building Measures (CSBM) data spreadsheets used by the CPC to report on the military information exchanged among participating States in line with the agreed CSBMs and other relevant arms control documents and decisions. Given the current Excel based methodology, the CPC needs to upgrade its supporting tools to meet all the requirements when it comes to providing accurate and timely reports at the level of detail desired by the respective stakeholders.
The CPC plays a key role in supporting and co-ordinating the OSCE's activities in the field, in providing analysis and policy advice to the Secretary General and the Chairmanship; in leading work on all aspects of the conflict cycle, and supporting the various formats dealing with protracted conflicts. The CPC also serves as the focal point in the Secretariat for co-ordinating and developing the OSCE's role in the politico-military dimension.
The Forum for Security Co-operation (FSC) is the main OSCE body dealing with the politico-military aspects of security and provides a forum for political dialogue for OSCE participating States. The FSC Support section within the Conflict Prevention Centre at the OSCE Secretariat supports the work of the FSC by providing technical support and expertise. In this respect, the Section acts as a focal point and prepares reports and overviews on military information exchanged by participating States. The Section also fosters implementation of Confidence and Security-building Measures (CSBMs) and develops assistance projects with regard to Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) and Conventional Ammunition. |
