UNFPA’s Country Programme interventions have expanded substantially over very short period of time and implementation has become increasingly complex, requiring substantial administrative support, technical backstopping and ongoing monitoring, both programmatic and financial.  
Implementation will be increasingly through HACT modality, in situations where there is lack of national capacity and according to projects different natures, UNFPA will directly implement the programme (DEX) through civil society organizations and academic institutions. For both implementation modalities, capacity building for implementing partners and finance monitoring are crucial for smooth and successful programme implementation. 
In this regard UNFPA office in Sudan is recruiting two Finance Monitoring Officers under the supervision of heads of programme units to assist in the overall management of finance and administrative matters in support of programme interventions, ensuring high quality and accuracy of work.  
How you can make a difference: 
UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.  UNFPA’s strategic plan (2022-2025), reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States, organizations and individuals to “build forward better”, while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women’s and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, recover lost gains and realize our goals. 
In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction. 
UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results; we need staff who are transparent, exceptional in how they manage the resources entrusted to them and who commit to deliver excellence in programme results.
