Terms of Reference

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is offering a contract within the Private Sector Partnerships Services in our Office in Paris, France. Established in December 1950, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is mandated to lead and coordinate international action to protect and assist refugees and other persons of concern. For more than seven decades, UNHCR's work in over 130 countries has helped over 84 million people restart their lives.

UNHCR's Private Sector Partnerships department (PSP) plays a crucial role in helping expand the organization’s funding base, while ensuring a sustainable and predictable stream of income. Although currently representing a small portion of UNHCR’s overall revenues, the contribution from the private sector is nonetheless significant and rapidly increasing.

PSP focuses on two main income pillars (Private Partnerships & Philanthropy (PPH) and Individual Giving (IG)) and is committed to further expand digitally. Since 2015 in France, UNHCR supporters and donor's portfolio have significantly grew and PSP France aims to reinforce its private sector communication strategy and assets to increase brand equity, engage with new audience and communicate timely and accurate information with general public.
