Hi friends:  I just got this by email.  Perhaps someone on the list is
interested.

> Four Months - Start date: December 1, 1997
> End date: March 31, 1998
>
> Pls. send resumes asap to: [log in to unmask] or by fax: Deborah Clark in
> Atlanta tel:(404)-577-9418
>
> Below pls. find an overview of the North Korea project.
>
> We are aiming to start the program by December 1, and UNICEF would
> like to provide the team with a training course before they enter
> Korea. Candidates must be able to stay in North Korea until March 30.
>
> The team members will work within the management frameworks set out by
> UNICEF
>
> CARE's team member (on the consortium team of five) will be the
> Lactaction Expert,  who will also maintain the basic procurement
> function and office budget - with a monthly budget of $25k.  At a
> minimum, the Team will be responsible for filing donor reports for
> OFDA, as has been the case under the current program.   UNICEF plans
> to provide housing accommodations for the team members; if this does
> not work out, the Team will be housed at the Koryo Hotel in Pyongyang.
>
> General Background for All Observers:
>
> The team will consist of two people with a health background (one of
> whom will be a lactation consultant), two people with logistics
> backgrounds (one of whom will have MIS skills), and one team leader.
> All should have management experience and strong negotiation skills.
> In an ideal world, we would like for them to have Korean language
> ability, but we cannot guarantee that the DPRK will permit Korean
> speakers to enter.
>
> Specific skills CARE is recruiting:
>
> CARE will recruit the Lactation specialist, who will also have the
> responsibility of maintaining the financial systems.  This person
> should have the capacity to do the three basic tasks below, and in
> addition should be an expert in breastfeeding promotion.  Experience
> in emergency situations is desired.
>
> Responsibilities of all team members will fall into three basic areas:
> (1)   monitoring deployment of the resources (logistical monitoring
> from shipment to hospital pharmacy)
> (2)   providing feedback to UNICEF and the DPRK in order to improve
> program efficacy (reporting)
> (3)   providing basic training to health functionaries in proper use
> of the commodities, using training aids which have been developed and
> field-tested by UNICEF.
> Any special skills which the team members have will also be fully
> utilized -- for example, a strong background in training may mean that
> the person has special tasks in organizing training sessions.  One
> particular skill which is required is breastfeeding promotion.
>
> Each team member will be paired for work with a staffperson from the
> Ministry of Health, and is may also be accompanied by staff from the
> Ministry of External Affairs. Given that translation is spotty in even
> non-medical situations, UNICEF's idea in the pairing is that the MoH
> person will help to bridge communication gaps in the hospitals, and to
> build the capacity of these MoH personnel to do this basic training
> work themselves.
