UNDP Field Security Specialists/National Security Officers/Country Office Security Associates are security professionals hired internationally or locally to advise UNDP and to be responsible for the security aspects of activities which are specific to UNDP. These positions are funded at the country-level. UNDP Field Security Specialists (FSS), and National Security Officers (NSOs) and Country Office Security Associates (COSAs) in the absence of an FSS, are accountable and responsible to the senior most UNDP representative at the country level (typically the RR), though they may report directly to the second most senior UNDP staff member for day to day activities when this responsibility has been delegated by the senior most UNDP representative at the country level. They will receive policy and technical guidance and support from the UNDP Security Office, through the Regional Security Advisor or the Sub-Regional Security Specialists, as applicable. At the same time, they are responsible for supporting the DO under the coordination of the CSA/PSA/SA.
