Background UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. 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. Project Description
The UNDP Africa HIV and Health related work is informed by the UNDP corporate strategy, the HIV and Health Team’s Strategy Connecting the Dots and the Global AIDS Strategy. The work is also informed by the African Union’s ‘Catalytic Framework to end AIDS, TB and Malaria’. Based on these frameworks the UNDP HIV and health work focuses on three interrelated areas. These are reducing inequalities and social exclusion that drive HIV and poor health, promoting effective and inclusive governance for health, and building resilient and sustainable systems for health.
The Africa HIV, Health and Development (HHD) regional team supports UNDP Africa country offices (COs) in designing and implementing HIV and health related interventions in line with the UNDP corporate plan and the respective country CPDs.
In Zambia, HHD related activities are guided by the current CPD which will expire in 2022 under the inclusive growth and sustainable development. The new CPD 2023-2026 envisages to support the government of the republic of Zambia with development of relevant human rights interventions and policy reform which will enable access to basic services of the vulnerable population such as PLWHIV, YKP and PWD.
The HHD activities are implemented through various funding sources including the Unified Budget and Resource Allocation Framework (UBRAF1) and regional projects such as the We Belong Africa (WBA2) Young Key Population Initiative” (YKP) and strengthening of health systems including adoption of digital health, addressing environmental issues and hazardous waste management and renewable energy.
The Programme Analyst will, therefore, support the implementation of the various HHD activities in the UNDP Zambia country office.
