Vacancy
| Background | ||
|
Please note that this is a consultancy assignment of a temporary nature, with an expected duration of approximately 10 working days.
The OSCE has a comprehensive approach to security that encompasses politico-military, economic and environmental, and human aspects. It therefore addresses a wide range of security-related concerns, including arms control,confidence- and security-building measures, human rights, national minorities, democratization, policing strategies, counter-terrorism and economic and environmental activities. All 57 participating States enjoy equal status, anddecisions are taken by consensus on a politically, but not legally binding basis.
The OSCE Secretariat in Vienna assists the Chairmanship in its activities, and provides operational and administrative support to the field operations, and, as appropriate, to other institutions.
The Department of Human Resources (DHR) ensures that the OSCE has the human resources capacity necessary to successfully implement its mandates. DHR sets the policies and provides services in the areas of recruitment, administration of benefits and entitlements, payroll, performance management, training and ethics across the Organization.
The needs assessment conducted by the Learning and Development Unit in 2018 and 2019 identified the need for OSCE staff to develop communication skills, including identifying key messages; understanding what is important for the target audience, and ability to link programmatic activities or political developments to broader strategic themes relevant to the organization. OSCE therefore plans two courses related to communication: 1. The objective of the two-day Strategic Writing course is to improve the capacity of OSCE officials to deliver clear, effective professional writing. Participants of this course will exercise skills on the planning and drafting process of preparing speeches and talking points to senior management level. 2. The objective of the one-day Speech/Statement Writing course is to build on the existing writing skills of the Communications Team, exercising advanced skills in preparing statements to be delivered by the Secretary General at press conferences (i.e. “mini-speeches”). |
