Background
The UNDP Projects Management Office (PMO) in Nicosia, Cyprus, seeks to contract a Researcher to work for the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP).
The overall objective of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP) project is to close, without further delay, a painful chapter in the history of the island and contribute to restoring trust and fostering reconciliation between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities. This important objective will be further encouraged and promoted through the participation of bi-communal scientific teams in all stages of the process.
The expected output is to recover, identify and return to their families the remains of persons who went missing during the inter-communal fighting of 1963 to 1964 and the events of 1974, as well as during the intervening period.
The output will be achieved via the following activity results: (1) Investigation, (2) Excavation, (3) Anthropological Analysis, (4) Identification, (5) Return of Remains, (6) Communication and Public Awareness, (7) Training, Well-Being and Capacity Building, and (8) Project Management.
UNDP Cyprus is in full synergy with the overall mandate of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus, and is responsible for the day-to-day administrative, financial and procurement implementation of the project. The primary target group is the families of missing persons from both communities of the island.
