We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes sections: Role Purpose (maybe heading "About the role"? Actually they said use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. The posting includes: Role Purpose (maybe "About the role"), Functions / Key Results Expected (Responsibilities), Education Requirements (Qualifications), Required Experience Requirements (Experience), Desirable Experience (maybe Skills?), Impact of Results (maybe not a standard heading). Also there is no explicit Pay, Schedule, Benefits. So we should not create those sections. We need to preserve all substantive information, no boilerplate. Remove any navigation etc. There's none. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide which content goes where. Section headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map: - About the role: Role Purpose paragraph. - Responsibilities: Functions / Key Results Expected (the bullet list of functions). Could also include Impact of Results? Might be part of Responsibilities or separate but not a standard heading. Probably include under Responsibilities. - Qualifications: Education Requirements. - Requirements: Required Experience Requirements (maybe also include Desirable Experience as Skills? Actually Skills could be desirable experience. We'll treat Desirable Experience as Skills. - Skills: Desirable Experience bullet list. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Role Purpose paragraph: "The Knowledge Management Specialist leads the Facility’s knowledge management and capacity development functions and provides substantive support to strategic and systematic partnerships with the World Bank, the African Development Bank and peace finance partners. The role connects field practice with Headquarters policy by capturing and analysing lessons, developing accessible knowledge products and learning mechanisms, stewarding a community of practice, and supporting agreed partnership mechanisms, policy development and innovation. The Specialist also ensures that gender equality, women’s empowerment, youth inclusion and ethical use of digital technology are integrated, as relevant, across knowledge and partnership outputs." That's prose ->

    . Functions / Key Results Expected: multiple bullet points. Let's list them: - Lead knowledge management strategy, systems and products - Develop and implement the Facility’s knowledge management approach, workplan and editorial pipeline, aligned with the 2026-2027 results framework and annual priorities. - Establish practical methods and templates to capture, validate, organize and disseminate good practices, lessons learned and emerging evidence from the Facility’s three-tier model of embedded capacities, surge deployments, and policy engagement. - Lead or coordinate the preparation of high-quality knowledge products, including good practice notes, lessons-learned briefs, case studies, analytical summaries, guidance materials, presentations and contributions to monitoring reports. - Maintain accessible repositories, taxonomies and quality standards for Facility knowledge, ensuring version control, confidentiality, usability and consistent messaging. - Use stakeholder feedback and available evidence to improve the relevance, accessibility and use of the Facility’s knowledge offer. - Manage learning, capacity development and the community of practice - Design and facilitate a regular programme of peer learning, webinars, clinics, workshops and knowledge exchanges for UN practitioners working on UN-IFI partnership and peace finance. - Establish and steward a community of practice on UN-IFI partnership in conflict-affected settings, including member engagement, content planning, moderation and follow-up. - Translate complex policy and operational experience into practical learning materials and capacity-development resources for Resident Coordinators’ Offices, UN field presences and Headquarters stakeholders. - Promote systematic learning across the Facility’s three-tier support model and strengthen feedback loops between country-level practice and Headquarters policy. - Support strategic partnerships with the World Bank, African Development Bank and other MDBs - Provide substantive support to implement agreed partnership commitments, workplans and mechanisms with the World Bank and African Development Bank, and contribute to engagement with other International Financial Institutions as assigned. - Prepare background analysis, briefs, agendas, talking points, meeting records and follow-up trackers for partnership dialogues, joint learning events and policy processes. - Coordinate inputs from UN entities, field colleagues and partners; identify opportunities, risks, emerging issues and lessons that can strengthen country-level collaboration. - Document and disseminate partnership results and good practices, including examples of innovation and the catalytic contribution of the Peacebuilding Fund. - Support policy development, innovation and integrated peace finance - Conduct applied research and analysis on UN-IFI partnership, engagement of multilateral development banks, innovative finance, private sector partnerships, digital technology and other emerging peace finance issues. - Support collaborative assessments, joint analytical products and policy dialogue between practitioners and policymakers, ensuring that evidence from conflict-affected settings informs recommendations. - Contribute to concept development, quality assurance and knowledge components of Facility initiatives under Output 3 and, as needed, knowledge-related aspects of embedded and surge support. - Promote conflict-sensitive, inclusive and ethically grounded approaches, including gender equality and women’s empowerment, youth inclusion and responsible use of digital technology. - Monitoring, reporting and team support - Contribute to results monitoring for the knowledge management offer, including collection and analysis of user feedback, product uptake and learning-event data against approved indicators. - Provide substantive inputs to Facility workplans, progress reports, donor briefings, presentations and the annual UN-World Bank partnership monitoring process, as requested. - Coordinate knowledge contributions from consultants, surge experts, embedded personnel and implementing partners and review deliverables for quality and consistency. - Contribute to resource mobilization, communications and other Facility priorities, and perform other duties within the functional area as required.

The role contributes directly to the effective delivery and use of knowledge products, mechanisms and policy dialogue under Output 3 and supports learning across Outputs 1 and 2 of the Facility’s results framework." That's prose.

Required Experience Requirements: "Relevant experience is considered progressively responsible professional experience in knowledge management, policy research and analysis, organizational learning, programme management, partnerships or a related field.

We'll put these as

    • . Now we need to decide headings. We have:

      About the role

      -> Role Purpose paragraph.

      Responsibilities

      -> Functions / Key Results Expected (maybe also include Impact of Results? Could add as part of responsibilities but it's separate. Could also add a separate section "Impact" but not allowed headings. So we can include Impact of Results as a paragraph under Responsibilities after the list, or maybe as a separate

      after the list but still within the Responsibilities section. That's fine.

      Qualifications

      -> Education Requirements.

      Requirements

      -> Required Experience Requirements.

      Skills

      -> Desirable Experience bullet list. We should not add Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information. Did we miss any? The "Impact of Results" paragraph we included under Responsibilities. Also maybe there is a line "Role Purpose" heading but we used About the role. Check that we didn't duplicate any content. Now produce HTML. We need to wrap each section in appropriate tags:

      heading then content. For lists, use
      • ...
      . For prose, use

      . Let's craft. About the role:

      The Knowledge Management Specialist leads the Facility’s knowledge management and capacity development functions and provides substantive support to strategic and systematic partnerships with the World Bank, the African Development Bank and peace finance partners. The role connects field practice with Headquarters policy by capturing and analysing lessons, developing accessible knowledge products and learning mechanisms, stewarding a community of practice, and supporting agreed partnership mechanisms, policy development and innovation. The Specialist also ensures that gender equality, women’s empowerment, youth inclusion and ethical use of digital technology are integrated, as relevant, across knowledge and partnership outputs.

      Responsibilities: we need to include the bullet list (the functions) and then the Impact of Results paragraph. We'll produce
        with each top-level bullet as
      • containing sub-bullets? The instructions: Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep simple: each line as
        • . However the original has hierarchical bullets. We could flatten but preserve detail. Might be okay to keep each bullet as
        • and include sub-bullets as separate
        • indented? Simpler: produce a flat list of all bullet points (including sub-bullets). That preserves all detail. Let's extract all bullet points (including sub-bullets) as separate items. List: - Lead knowledge management strategy, systems and products - Develop and implement the Facility’s knowledge management approach, workplan and editorial pipeline, aligned with the 2026-2027 results framework and annual priorities. - Establish practical methods and templates to capture, validate, organize and disseminate good practices, lessons learned and emerging evidence from the Facility’s three-tier model of embedded capacities, surge deployments, and policy engagement. - Lead or coordinate the preparation of high-quality knowledge products, including good practice notes, lessons-learned briefs, case studies, analytical summaries, guidance materials, presentations and contributions to monitoring reports. - Maintain accessible repositories, taxonomies and quality standards for Facility knowledge, ensuring version control, confidentiality, usability and consistent messaging. - Use stakeholder feedback and available evidence to improve the relevance, accessibility and use of the Facility’s knowledge offer. - Design and facilitate a regular programme of peer learning, webinars, clinics, workshops and knowledge exchanges for UN practitioners working on UN-IFI partnership and peace finance. - Establish and steward a community of practice on UN-IFI partnership in conflict-affected settings, including member engagement, content planning, moderation and follow-up. - Translate complex policy and operational experience into practical learning materials and capacity-development resources for Resident Coordinators’ Offices, UN field presences and Headquarters stakeholders. - Promote systematic learning across the Facility’s three-tier support model and strengthen feedback loops between country-level practice and Headquarters policy. - Provide substantive support to implement agreed partnership commitments, workplans and mechanisms with the World Bank and African Development Bank, and contribute to engagement with other International Financial Institutions as assigned. - Prepare background analysis, briefs, agendas, talking points, meeting records and follow-up trackers for partnership dialogues, joint learning events and policy processes. - Coordinate inputs from UN
