Mission and objectives

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is a global leader in the fight against illicit drugs, crime, corruption and terrorism, with widely recognized expertise and specialization on issues pertaining to international cooperation in criminal matters. The UNODC Regional Office for Southeast Asia and the Pacific (ROSEAP) has a team of experts providing advice and technical assistance related to the rule of law, non-traditional security threats, law enforcement, criminal justice and drug-related supply and health issues. The Regional Office for Southeast Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok is home to a multi-disciplinary team of regional programme managers, advisors and administrators working with, and supporting, Member States and regional organizations, and aligned programme offices.

Context

The UNODC Pacific Office is developing a secure, user-friendly web-based reporting interface to track progress on the implementation of the Teieniwa Vision, the regional anti-corruption framework endorsed by Pacific Island Forum Leaders. The platform will be used by the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) focal points across 14 Pacific Island Countries to report on national-level achievements, challenges, and progress against agreed targets. This tool will support transparency, coordination, and evidence-based reporting ahead of regional and global anti-corruption events, including the UNCAC Conference of States Parties. Working together in a team, Online Volunteers will create a system that will allow for structured data entry, document uploads, visual dashboards, and exportable narrative and statistical reports. The platform will: • Allow country focal points to log in and report against specific targets • Include pre-set benchmarks and indicators • Enable document uploads and comments • Generate visual dashboards and exportable reports • Be accessible via desktop and mobile devices

Task Description

Under the guidance of the UNODC focal point, one Online Volunteer will support in leading a team of online volunteer developers in building a secure and functional online reporting platform for UNCAC focal points across 14 Pacific Island Countries. The Online Volunteer will be expected to collaborate and support in: • Define system architecture, hosting environment, and database structure. • Lead on secure login, authentication, and role-based access control. • Oversee coding standards, version control, and integration of junior developers’ work. • Ensure compliance with data protection and accessibility standards. • Coordinate integration with dashboards and UX/UI design. • Provide regular updates to the UNODC Pacific team.
