Reporting to the Director General (DG) and working closely with the Director of Administration, Finance, and Operations (DAFO) and Senior Management Committee (SMC), the DDG is accountable for performance, quality, and delivery across ICIMOD’s climate and environment-related research-for-development portfolio, including practical solutions for green, resilient and inclusive mountain development. The role supports Board-level governance and assurance processes; collaborates with the DG and SMC on strategic change priorities to strengthen institutional effectiveness and future fitness; and supports the DG to ensure coherence across institution-wide planning and monitoring, partnerships and regional cooperation, business development and resource mobilisation, and communications and knowledge uptake.

Responsibilities The responsibilities of the Deputy Director General are set out below under six objectives, each supported by practical expectations for delivery. Objective 1: Portfolio performance and impact : Ensure coherent, high-quality, and impactful delivery of ICIMOD’s research-for-development portfolio, translating knowledge into measurable policy influence and outcomes for climate resilience, biodiversity, environmental sustainability and inclusive mountain development.

Ensure gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), including youth, are embedded as an integral dimension of portfolio quality and impact, with clear expectations, practical guidance, and accountability for implementation across Strategic Groups and partners. Objective 2: Governance, assurance, and stewardship: Provide robust assurance on portfolio performance, risk, GESI and safeguarding, and resource allocation to support sound decision-making, accountability, and effective governance. What this means in practice: Through the DG, provide strategic analysis and assurance inputs to the Board of Governors, the Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) of the Board, and ICIMOD Support Group (ISG, ICIMOD donors) processes, including high-quality papers, reports, and presentations that enable timely decisions and oversight.
