THE FSM AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

 The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Government is seeking well-qualified individuals for the position of Finance and Compliance Manager within the Division of Program Management Unit (PMU), under the Department of Transportation, Communication&Infrastructure (DoTC&I), FSM National Government, located in Palikir, Pohnpei, FM 96941.

Overview
The Federated States of Micronesia’s Department of Transportation, Communications, and infrastructure (Do TC&I) is responsible for the coordination of the FSM Infrastructure Development Program and is the Implementing Agency for a portfolio of infrastructure projects funded by the Compact of Free Association. FSM Infrastructure projects are submitted to the Joint Economic Management Committee (JEMCO) through the Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) for JEMCO concurrence. Within DoTC&I, the Program Management Unit (PMU) is mandated to oversee the implementation of major infrastructure projects, reporting to the Secretary of DoTC&I through the Program Manager.

FSM faces significant challenges related to its small size, remoteness, geographical dispersion, environmental fragility and sensitivity to external shock. In particular, frequent natural disasters and climate change impose high costs and may even threaten the physical viability of some areas of both the main islands and more remote outer islands. Droughts, typhoons, storm waves, flooding and landslides all affect FSM.

Infrastructure Development Program
