Project Leader For Detention Center Transition

The existing detention facilities are outdated, and a new prison is scheduled to be constructed to improve the overall detention system, with a focus on upgrading infrastructure, operational procedures, and rehabilitative services. The new detention facility will enhance the capacity from 86 to approximately 196 and should operate with updated policies and procedures. This requires a strong change management component in addition to an increase in staff. The infrastructural component of the new prison is being led entirely by the UNOPS team.

The Project Leader will be responsible for planning and preparing the operational component of the new prison project, including the physical transition towards the new detention facility and the implementation of recommendations made by UNOPS on “soft” reform components directly linked to the new prison facilities. The aim of the assignment is to make the necessary organizational preparations for a transition to a state-of-the-art organization in accordance with the set principles and legal frameworks. This requires thorough planning to ensure an undisturbed transition to the new prison facility.
