الوصف الوظيفي:
Background

The Ministry of Finance and Planning (MoFP) is strengthening its technical capacity in response to its expanding responsibilities in national planning, monitoring and evaluation, development prioritization, Gaza-related planning and recovery, and the integration of planning and budgeting. The merger of the finance and planning functions has also created additional requirements for stronger coordination between national priorities, sector planning and resource allocation.

As part of this effort, the Ministry intends to strengthen its sector-planning capacity through the engagement of three Strategic Planning Officers covering the Social, Economic, and Infrastructure.

The three Planning Officers will constitute a coordinated Sector Planning Team within the Ministry of Finance and Planning. While each Officer will have primary responsibility for his/her assigned sector portfolio, the Officers will apply common planning methodologies and work jointly on issues that cut across sector boundaries.

The team will jointly support:

preparation and implementation of national planning processes;
review and improvement of the national planning guide and methodology;
preparation of the National Development Plans;
annual prioritization of development projects and interventions;
integration of planning and budgeting;
preparation and review of results frameworks;
monitoring of sector strategies;
Gaza planning and recovery;
consolidated national development analysis; and
preparation of senior-management decision-support materials.
Within this framework, the Ministry seeks to engage a Strategic Planning Officer – Economic Sector to provide dedicated planning and analytical support for economic and productive-sector priorities.

Objective
To strengthen MoFP's capacity to analyze, coordinate, prioritize and monitor economic-development priorities and ensure their effective integration into national planning, public investment and resource-allocation processes.

Reporting and Coordination

The Officers will work under the overall supervision of the designated MoFP senior official and the technical guidance of the General Directorate of Planning and Policies, in close coordination with the General Directorate of Monitoring and Evaluation, the Gaza Unit, relevant finance and budget functions, and the other Sector Planning Officers.

Coordinate with relevant economic ministries, government institutions, private-sector stakeholders and development partners.
Prepare economic analyses, policy briefs, prioritization matrices, presentations and other decision-support materials.
