The Change Management Secretariat acts as a governance mechanism, working under the DED-M to ensure the substantive and operational coherence of the various change management initiatives and processes within UNFPA, coordinating and supporting change management processes such as: Aligning Headquarters/Regional Office/ Country Office Functions; The Comprehensive Resources Review; the Information and Communications Technologies transformation and the UN Reform. The CMS ensures consistency during a period of transition to continue improving UNFPA’s business model in light of the new Strategic Plan, the QCPR and various UN Reform initiatives.

The complexity /scale of the Change Management Agenda requires a best practice governance structure and a small dedicated team to support alignment processes, monitor further development and implementation of initiatives, guided by the Executive Committee and a Change Management Steering Committee accompanied by timely monitoring and reporting to senior management and other oversight UNFPA units as appropriate. Within this context, the Institutional Transformation Consultant will provide research, M&E and operational support to UNFPA initiatives related to change management facilitated by the Change Management Secretariat.
