Road Safety Associate
Global Fleet Management
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is offering a Local Individual Contractor Agreement within the Fleet Management Unit, Global Mobility & Infrastructure Service (GMIS), Division of Financial and Administrative Management (DFAM) in our Budapest Global Service Centre in Budapest, Hungary.
UNHCR operates a worldwide fleet of approximately 7,700 light, armored, heavy and specialized vehicles. Using roads is a necessary part daily business in UNHCR field operations International and local staff members use vehicles for road missions to emergency and insecure locations to provide humanitarian assistance. Road incidents constitute a major threat to health and safety of UNHCR staff, implementing partners, refugee and local communities. Besides, the road incidents may result in reputational damage to the organization, in a financial loss and can undermine successful delivery of programme activities in the host countries.
By recognizing the fact that the road incidents are largely predictable and therefore preventable, UNHCR has launched the Road Safety campaign with the ‘Vision Zero’ aim to achieve zero road fatalities in its field operations. As part of the UN decade on Road Safety, the UNHCR SRU campaign is currently focusing on increasing awareness of staff and managers about their personal roles in road safety. It is envisaged that the campaign will subsequently enable the UNHCR operations to factor the road safety elements into the core field programmes and project activities.
In February 2019, UNHCR became signatory of the UN Road Safety Strategy and is actively engaged in two working groups of the 5 pillars. UNHCR is a global organisation dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people. Every year, millions of men, women and children are forced to flee their homes to escape conflict and persecution. We are in over 125 countries, using our expertise to protect and care for millions.
