Description of the context
To address the changing needs of Ukrainian municipalities and national-level stakeholders during wartime, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) in 2024 initiated a broader programme in support of multilevel governance and recovery. This programme is called “Polaris: Supporting Multi-level Governance in Ukraine”. It is implemented by SALAR International and planned for four years (July 2024-May 2028).
Polaris Programme aims to work with both short and long-term focus, addressing the needs of the multi-level governance system in Ukraine and in parallel strengthening municipalities’ public service provision, as well as their direct engagement in the recovery and reconstruction processes, in line with the requirements of Ukraine’s EU accession.
Role Description
The role primarily involves providing advice on advocacy and policy matters, as well as supporting strategic decision-making and prioritisation related to the complex areas of the Polaris Programme. The Senior Policy Advisor will work closely with both the Policy Team and the Programme Management Team, engage in dialogue with partners and relevant stakeholders, and report as part of the Policy team to the Management Team.
