Background

 
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP:  we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.

 
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

 

Office/Unit/Project Description

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and protect the planet. UNDP supports governments in strengthening policies, institutions, skills, and partnerships to sustain progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

UNDP`s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan.

In order to streamline its engagement in finance and investment, UNDP launched the Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH) in 2019. The Hub works as platform on finance and innovation that draws on a critical mass of UNDP expertise, initiatives, and partnerships to support the mobilization, alignment and leveraging of resources for the SDGs and lead the implementation of the new private sector strategy and other initiatives.

At the same time, the European Commission (EC), together with EU Member States, development agencies, EU financial institutions and UN organisations, have embarked on coordinating their offer of EU expertise and resources for low- and middle-income countries in the area of sustainable finance, inspired by EU experience, through the EC Sustainable Finance Advisory Hub, of which UNDP is an implementing partner, focusing on supporting countries on sustainable finance taxonomy development, disclosure frameworks and thematic/green bond framework development.

The Project and Partnership Analyst will support the IFI Partnerships Advisor to launch and implement the EC related workplan, coordinate country cooperation and linkages with other UNDP financing work, develop a partnership strategy and with liaison efforts with Sustainable Finance Advisory Hub partners.
