Offshore Investment

Offshore is more like remote venture investment strategy. Anyone can be involved in it as its a good form of monetary streaming prospect that yields very competitive returns if done with the correct know how and understanding. In this case of hard of economic recession everywhere, anyone can be ahead of the game while making dollars instead of kshs. ($1=kshs.80) The goal here really is to "refer" not to "sell" and earn your commission. There's nothing to it really, its as simple as flipping your eyelid! Here are a few tips on offshore venture income.

(1)Never pay any money while using any offshore investment vehicle. Many sites ask their users for some cash dubbed "one time registration fee" etc. You shouldn't pay any cent!
(2)Be sure of sites that promise too much but deliver nothing. They're usually pyramid or ponzi schemes. They are designed to offer false hope taking users round in circles causing frustrations and discouragements. NB remember that your time is of great significance and shouldn't be wasted.
(3)Always check for the commissions on offer for referrals. Some offer too low which makes it hard for anyone to get sensible income, while others just use you.
keep checking for more tips!

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Sector Coordinator Job Vacancy: United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS)

Closing date: 17 Apr 2009
Location: Kenya

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Coordination efforts in the past largely depended on voluntary positions to push complex agendas. However the amount of work and time required by such a position requires a full time person. Increasingly stakeholders appreciate the need to redesign the sector coordination mechanism in response to the changing situation and increased workload. While waiting for the emerging processes both within (and between) the Somali context and International Community to take shape, a full-time coordinator position was created towards the end of 2007 to facilitate communication and coordination among all stakeholders in the WASH Sector.

The principal objective of the WASH Sector Coordinator’s position is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of WASH related activities for the benefit of the Somali people through better targeting and optimum use of resources. As a result the coordinator is expected to work closely with Authorities in charge of WASH coordination in the North East (Puntland) and North West (Somaliland) Zones and with the WASH Cluster Coordinator charged with coordinating humanitarian responses in all zones, particularly Central-South.

The WASH Sector Coordinator is thus expected to spend at least 70% of his/her time in Somalia, divided predominantly between the North East and North West zones, with the remaining time spent in Nairobi or in travel to Central-South zone if necessary.

The objective of the assignment is to provide technical advice and coordination services to national and regional coordination structures in Somalia and at Nairobi level, strengthening systems in place and setting up new ones where needed (as per the main objective of the WASH Sector Committee under Coordination of International Support to Somalis (CISS)).

This will serve to assist in the projecting of needs and definition of priorities aimed at the rehabilitation, sustainability and development of the WASH sector.

  • Link with other sector coordinators/ bodies to facilitate communication and coordination of cross-cutting issues.
Reporting Structures:
  • The coordinator will report administratively to UNOPS (Head of the Somalia Support Secretariat Project) and work under the direct technical supervision of the WASH Sector Steering Committee Chair (under CISS) or appropriate evolving body under Somali governance.
  • The coordinator will prepare quarterly and annual progress reports on WASH coordination and major programmes and developments which will be submitted to both the above mentioned parties
  • The coordinator will provide monthly written reports to the WASH Sector Steering Committee Chair providing updates from field level sectoral coordination meetings and outlining priority matters affecting the WASH sector and key issues arising from the zonal coordination process
