The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) invites applications for the new position of Team Leader - Pacific Action for Health, for an initial contract period of two years and two months. 2. I would be grateful if Governments and Administrations could advertise this post as widely as possible without incurring any cost to the Secretariat of the Pacific Community. 3. A statement setting out the duties, responsibilities, qualifications, experience and skills required for the position plus conditions of employment is attached to this Recruitment Notice. Lourdes Pangelinan Director General Attach. Original text: English SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY DUTY STATEMENT TEAM LEADER - PACIFIC ACTION FOR HEALTH NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PROJECT BACKGROUND The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is a technical advisory, training and research organisation serving 22 Pacific Island countries and territories of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. SPC currently has more than 230 staff members. It is a bilingual organisation, with English and French as its official working languages. The Pacific Action for Health project, which the Government of Australia funds through the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), has a budget of A$ 3.75 million over four years. The project was launched at SPC on 28 August 2000. Pacific Action for Health is a regional project, based in four countries: Tonga, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Kiribati. Its purpose is to create an environment conducive to health by increasing the capacity of Pacific Island Countries to address risk factors for non-communicable ("lifestyle") diseases (NCDs). It will target young people, using a preventive, comprehensive, health promotion approach and working through local non-government and community organisations as well as with national government agencies. It is intended that a broad range of outputs and activities will deliver a reduction in the adoption and development of NCD risk factors amongst young people, create government policies and community environments which support healthy lifestyles and improve national capacity to engage in health promotion activities. CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROJECT The project was designed to have a one year inception phase, during which research and extensive consultation were to be used to determine the details of project focus, entry points and structure with stakeholders in the partner countries. A detailed workplan of activities would be produced. This was to be followed by a three year implementation phase. A revised project design, using information collected through the project during the inception phase and based on consultation with community and government stakeholders in partner countries, will soon be undertaken by an independent team of experts. It is to be finalised by June 2002. In Kiribati and Vanuatu some inception phase tasks have been completed and it has been agreed the entry point of the project will be alcohol as an NCD risk. Local non-government organisations have been selected as project partners and project activities will commence in early 2002. For Tonga and the Solomon Islands, the Inception Phase is about to begin. The single risk factor to be addressed by the project will be determined in consultation with the partner governments and other stakeholders, using information derived from research and baseline KAP surveys. THE PROJECT TEAM The project implementation team will consist of six long-term staff: the team leader and his/her deputy, who will both be based in Noumea, and an in-country Project Coordinator in each of the partner countries.

The division also includes a number of socio-economic programmes e.g. Demography/Population, Statistics, Rural Energy Development Programme, Cultural Affairs Programme, Pacific Women's Resource Bureau and the Pacific Youth Resources Bureau, providing an effective setting for a multi-disciplinary approach.

Pacific Vacancies - 2002
ecoconsult
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDear Colleague, ? As Fiji is located just west of the International Dateline I seize the opportunity to be one of the first in 2002 to wish you and those near you the best of health and happiness ¨C and may you find this year the job you¡¯ve always wanted ¨C and ¨C more importantly perhaps - the satisfaction that should come with it! ? Now in its 4th year, Pacific Vacancies is close to the 1000th subscriber milestone. The vacancies are directly sent to some 50 countries, including all Pacific Island Countries, although they reach a much larger audience as many subscribers forward them to friends and colleagues, distribute them on local networks, or place them on websites. ? In 2001 the service distributed 175 job ads, which reflects an increase of 70% to those sent out in 2000. ?Since mid-2001 we have started to distribute vacancies from The University of the South Pacific, which is perhaps the single largest regional employer in the Pacific. We are also very pleased to receive increasingly more advertisements from organisations and institutions in the northern Pacific.? Also, we are covering an increasingly wider range of sectors, and have successfully sought to distribute job ads in the health sector in the region. ? It was our intention from the beginning to provide a wider distribution of vacancies in the Pacific region, in particular to those residing in Pacific Island Countries where access to the WWW is suboptimal, and where the conventional means of job advertising have their limitations. Although details are hard to come by, we have been reliably informed recently that most Pacific Island residents that apply for any of the jobs do refer to Pacific Vacancies as their first and main source of information. We are very pleased to see the effect of the service. ? We very much appreciate your support, and look forward to continue Pacific Vacancies in 2002, 2003, and the years thereafter. And of course, and comments and suggestions are very ¨C and always ¨C welcome. ? Cheers! ? Wilco Liebregts ? |
