Structures & Institutional Development Structures
The total number of staff deployed in the
four existing field offices and the Registry taskforce,
including professional and general staff, is
86—15 less than in 2010. Of these, 21 (24%) are
professional staff (excluding language staff).
Men comprise 80% of the total field staff, a
3% increase from 2010. In addition to the Kenya
task-force which is composed only of men, the
Chad office retains the highest male/female
differential with 72% more men than women
appointed. Uganda is the field office with the
lowest gender differential (39% more men). The
male/female gap in both CAR and the DRC is
66%.
There are almost three times more men than
women assigned to professional posts in field
offices (15 men and six women). As in 2010, the
only field office with a gender balance is CAR
with men and women occupying half (50%) of
the four professional posts. In the DRC, women
professionals occupy one-fourth of the posts
(two out of eight) and in Uganda two posts out
of seven are occupied by female professionals
(28.5%). For Chad and Kenya, all appointees to
professional posts are male.
Women are the majority of appointees at the
P2 level (66%), with a 4% increase from 2010,
but only two out of 15 P3 posts are occupied by
female professionals. There are no P1, P4 or P5
level staff based in the field offices.
The field office with the highest number of
staff is the DRC office with 41% (35) of overall
field staff and 38% (eight) of the total number
of professional staff. The Uganda office has 27%
of overall staff and 33% of professional staff, the
CAR office has 21% and 19% respectively, and the
Chad office has 13% and 8% respectively. Finally,
the Kenya task-force has 3% of overall staff and
5% of professional staff.
In total, eight Sections and Units are
represented at the field level, of which six belong
to the Registry and two to the Office of the
Prosecutor. 207 Following the redeployment of a
P3 Field Officer from Bunia (DRC), to Kampala
(Uganda), the Secretariat of the Trust Fund for
Victims currently has a field presence at the
P-level in Uganda only. The Fund however is
represented by two general service GTA local
field staff in the forward field presence in Bunia
(DRC).
Despite a decrease of 12 staff deployed in the
field from 2010, the Field Operations Section
continues to have the highest presence in
the field offices with 25 (29%) staff across all
country-based offices, including the Kenya taskforce.
The Victims and Witnesses Unit has 24
(28%) staff members divided between the four
field offices, but it does not have a presence in
the Kenya Registry task-force. As in 2010, the
Outreach Unit has 13 (15%) representatives
across three field offices (CAR, DRC and Uganda).
The only Sections/Units that are represented
in all four offices and in the Registry task-force
in Kenya are the Field Operations Section and
the Security and Safety Section. The Secretariat
of the Trust Fund for Victims is currently
represented at the P-level only in Uganda. The
male/female differential is high across almost
all Sections/Units represented at field level,
with the Service Desk, the Security and Safety
Sections, the Planning and Operations Section
and the Investigation Teams having only male
