LEADER IN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND
POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT
Within the structure of UNFPA the
CST offices, which are located in Africa (Addis Ababa, Dakar, Harare), Arab
Sates and Europe Region (Amman, Bratislava) Asia (Bangkok, Fiji,
Kathmandu), and Latin America (Mexico City) play a critical role for the
delivery of the mandate of UNFPA.
The CSTs collaborate closely with our Country Offices and with UNFPA
headquarters. The teams consist of
highly qualified experts and are led and managed by a director who is also
expected to be an outstanding authority in a particular area of population and
development or reproductive health.
CST offices provide crucial cutting edge technical support to our
Country Offices, Government counterparts, other UN agencies, NGOs and bilateral
organizations. To become
members of our country support team in Amman we are seeking to recruit
outstandingly qualified experts as
