Akhtar Munir

During my 26 years' career with the United Nations system, including managerial roles at UNOPS, UNWFP, and UN-Habitat, I have consistently demonstrated expertise in providing procurement services, managing processes across various platforms, and reporting on services for programmes related to humanitarian assistance and development. My experience includes building strong relationships with clients and suppliers, ensuring project delivery within specified timelines, budget constraints, and in accordance with agreed-upon contract terms. I am proficient in utilizing web-based applications, including Umoja, and possess a comprehensive understanding of the United Nations Financial Rules and Regulations (UNFRR). My skills in data management, analysis, drafting complex contracts and reporting uniquely position me to effectively monitor and report on project progress, contributing significantly to partnership management. My exceptional communication and interpersonal skills have facilitated the establishment of robust relationships with clients and internal stakeholders. As a confident presenter, I am comfortable delivering presentations to diverse audiences, a quality that aligns with the collaborative nature of the procurement role. My experience in managing and evaluating supplier relationships, collaborating with internal teams, and staying informed on procurement trends further substantiates my suitability for the role. I am well-versed with organization and donors’ (USAID, DFID, CIDA, OIC, UNHCR, UNICEF – few to mention) and PPRA rules and reguations and possess the ability to interpret and implement the same as required. I am adept at prioritizing tasks, planning effectively, and excelling in problem-solving. My track record includes identifying, analyzing, and resolving procurement-related issues concerning contracts and legal documents.
