  Background and Organizational Context

 </strong>
 As of September 2025, OCHA Syria, based in T&uuml;rkiye, comprises 30 staff members. Although the OCHA Office in T&uuml;rkiye is expected to scale down by the end of the year, a residual capacity of 10&ndash;15 staff will be maintained. From 2026 onwards, the Ankara Liaison Office is expected to provide support to OCHA Istanbul, which will have a staff capacity of 52.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Based on the Host Country Agreement signed in September 2013 between OCHA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Government of T&uuml;rkiye, OCHA Office in T&uuml;rkiye is required to maintain a presence in Ankara for liaison purposes.

 <br/>
 <br/>
 The Ankara Office comprises three national staff members: one NO-C staff member, one G-7 Administrative Associate, and one G-3 Driver. The office serves as a liaison point for interlocutors based in the capital city.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Under the overall guidance and supervision of the Head of the Liaison Office in Ankara, the Administrative Associate is responsible for the coordination and execution of a range of interrelated operational and administrative activities in support of both the Ankara, Gaziantep, and Istanbul offices, ensuring a high level of quality and accuracy in all work. The Administrative Associate promotes a client-focused, quality- and results-oriented approach.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 The Administrative Associate works in close collaboration with colleagues in Gaziantep and Istanbul, as well as with Operations, Programme and Project staff in the Country Office and personnel from other UN agencies, to facilitate information exchange and ensure consistent and effective service delivery.
