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
UNDP’s Sustainable Finance Hub has established five offers through which country offices can scale up their engagements with public and private partners towards the delivery of the SDGs. Ultimately these offers will contribute to the systemic transformation required for finance to deliver on the SDGs at scale in all countries. These services are interlinked and offered across the following areas: (i) Public Financing for the SDGs; (ii) Unlocking private capital and aligning business operations for the SDGs Private Investment for the SDGs; (iii) SDG Impact Management and Finance Tracking; (iv) Integrated National Financing Frameworks and Portfolios; and (v) the SDG Finance Academy. All offers provide country offices with access to tools and experts as well as being backed by training modules for staff and for our partners through the SDG Finance Academy. UNDP recognizes the importance of improved impact management for shifting the current systems of decision-making towards investment with positive impact on people and the planet. It does so by tracking actual and realized investments through impact measurement and management (IMM) practices, channelling sustainable finance solutions and creating a deep positive impact on development priorities at scale. With this purpose, UNDP has developed Impact Management and Finance Tracking solutions that enable the public and private sector to integrate coherent approaches, define common goals, and develop credible SDG-related tracking and reporting systems into their practices, improving accountability, disclosure, and transparency for sustainability and the SDGs.
