Work LocationVienna Headquarters Expected duration1 Sept-12 Dec 2025 Duties and ResponsibilitiesUNODC acknowledges the need to promote stronger partnerships with civil society organizations (CSOs) in dealing with the complex issues at global level. The active involvement of civil society is essential to help UNODC carry out its global mandates. The UNODC Civil Society Unit (CSU) manages the Civil Society Global Programme (GLOU68). Within the framework of GLOU68, CSU facilitates the dialogue between civil society, Member States, and the private sector in the fight against corruption, on drug issues and other crimes. UNODC is the guardian of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), which entered into force in December 2005. UNCAC is the first global legally binding instrument which covers public and private, domestic and international corruption. It includes strong anti-corruption measures on prevention, criminalization and law enforcement, international cooperation and asset recovery. In 2009, a review mechanism for the Convention was adopted, consisting of two cycles. The first cycle (2010-2015) reviewed the implementation of the provisions under Chapters III Criminalization and Law Enforcement and IV International Cooperation. The second cycle (2016-2026) is reviewing the implementation of the provisions under Chapters II Preventive Measures and V Asset Recovery. Article 13 of the UNCAC recognizes the need to promote the active participation of individuals and groups outside the public sector, such as civil society, non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations, in the prevention of and the fight against corruption. The anti-corruption module of the GLOU68 programme aims to strengthen the voice of civil society in the national and international fight against corruption by facilitating their participation in intergovernmental meetings, workshops on the Convention, roundtables and grant schemes. To implement anti-corruption activities, the UNODC CSU works closely with other substantive offices, such as the Corruption and Economic Crime Branch (CEB) in the Division for Treaty Affairs (DTA) and engages with relevant NGOs through regular communication, e-platforms, social media and NGO Unit mailbox. Presently, the CSU is actively involved in the preparations for civil society engagement at COSP11 UNCAC, to be held in Doha, Qatar, in December 2025. This involves sharing relevant information with civil society, including through organizing webinars, publications and surveys, and coordination with the UNCAC Coalition and other partners. Simultaneously, the CSU is implementing the second phase of the programme \"Southeast Europe together against Corruption (SEE-TAC)\". This endeavor is conducted in collaboration with RAI and is made possible through the support received from ADA. Moving forward, the CSU will implement a one-day national level event in Albania and organize a regional private sector workshop in the Balkans. CSU will also conduct the 6 months follow-up to the multistakeholder workshop organized in Serbia in April 2025. Besides the preparation for COSP11 UNCAC to be held in Doha in December 2025, activities such as webinars in connection to COSP11 UNCAC and publication of relevant documentation are also foreseen.
