Operations
Country-office delivery with regional responsibility
At UN Women, I connected programme delivery with budgets, procurement, financial processing and country-office operations, working directly with office leadership, regional colleagues and headquarters.
INPUTS
What I worked with
- Programme requirements, budgets and forecasts across concurrent portfolios
- Purchase orders, invoices, supplier records and pending payments
- Regional guidance, system changes and managerial decisions
MY CONTRIBUTION
How I approached it
I carried out procurement focal-point and case-manager work, connecting programme requirements, suppliers, documentation and the approval process.
I held four signed delegations covering Regional Office Supplier Maintenance, Regional Office Voucher Creation, North Macedonia ICT Focal Point and North Macedonia Asset Focal Point.
I processed PO and non-PO vouchers, resolved matching exceptions, routed approvals and followed payments through to completion.
I reconciled outstanding and expected invoices against purchase-order balances and explained amendment requirements directly to headquarters procurement.
I developed and tracked operational budgets, contributed to revisions and forecasts, and worked with office leadership on risks and delivery priorities. I also represented North Macedonia in regional operational meetings.
I coordinated with regional and other country offices and UNDP counterparts, handled HR focal-point responsibilities including recruitment coordination and everyday HR questions, and maintained shared operational knowledge. I completed the 2021 greenhouse-gas inventory exercise in 2022.
OUTPUTS
What the work produced
- Reconciled invoices, payment follow-through and clear amendment requests

- Practical support for colleagues and suppliers during systems change
Scope of my contribution
