Mission and objectivesUNODCโs mandate is to support Member States in the prevention of illicit drugs, crime, corruption and terrorism which hare encompassed in the framework of the UNODC Regional Programme for South-Eastern Europe 2024/2029. The three pillars of the UNODC field work are: - Field-based technical cooperation projects enhancing the capacity of Member States to counteract illicit drugs, crime, corruption and terrorism. - Research and analytical work to increase knowledge and understanding of drug and crime-related issues, and expand the evidence base for policy and operational decisions. - Normative, policy and advocacy work to assist states in the ratification and implementation of international treaties and the development of domestic legislation and policies in the thematic areas under UNODC mandates. UNODC advocates a balanced approach to drug control, emphasising the importance of preventive education and treatment for addicts, as well as measures to reduce production and trafficking. UNODC assists governments and law enforcement agencies in increasing the effectiveness of domestic legislation as well as in enhancing their capacities to investigate, dismantle and prosecute trafficking groups, through technical assistance, training and the provision of modern technical equipment.
ContextThe Tech Volunteers for Resilience (Tech4R) programme mobilizes skilled digital volunteers to co-create open-source solutions that strengthen disaster resilience. This assignment focuses on building digital tools and dashboards that support real-time decision-making in disaster contexts. Transparency in asset management is a cornerstone of good governance and disaster resilience. Currently, property information managed by the Asset Management Agency of FBiH is fragmented and not fully accessible to the public. The Digital Catalogue will create a centralized, interactive, and user-friendly online platform that visualizes managed assets, their current use, and their value. This will enhance public trust, support evidence-based decision-making, and provide structured information that can assist in future recovery and risk management planning. The Team Lead will coordinate a team of community UN Volunteers (developers, designers, and data specialists) to deliver the platform and ensure quality, accessibility, and alignment with institutional needs.
