Procurement Analyst - P2

Chad, Logone Occidental , Ndjamena

BackgroundProjet Intégré de Lutte contre les Inondations et le renforcement de la Résilience (PILIER) follows on from the floods of 2022, which caused considerable damage to infrastructure in towns and villages, to irrigated areas along the Logone and Chari rivers, and extensive damage in 18 of the country's 23 provinces, including N'Djamena, where it was estimated that by mid-November 2022, 110 square kilometers of N'Djamena and its immediate surroundings were under water. The floods affected 1,426,948 people nationwide in 237,317 households, destroying 149,900 homes, disrupting water sources and submerging 325,184 hectares of agricultural land (MATHU, 2022). An assessment of post-flood recovery needs carried out with UNDP support estimated the cost of flood damage and losses at over 231,913,000,000 FCFA, or around 387,000,000 USD.Thus, the Government of Chad has obtained a grant of 150,000,000 USD from the World Bank to finance the "Projet Intégré pour la Lutte contre les Inondations et la Résilience Urbaine à N'Djaména" (PILIER), aimed at reducing the vulnerability of populations exposed to the risk of flooding through an integrated multi-sectoral approach targeting as a priority the areas most affected by the 2022 floods, while taking into account the imperatives of community development and capacity building of governance structures at both central and local levels.More specifically, PILIER aims to (i) mitigate the negative impacts of flooding through green and grey infrastructure to protect vulnerable areas of N'Djamena from recurrent fluvial and pluvial flooding, and (ii) improve urban planning and management while taking flood risks into account by promoting climate-resilient community interventions and strengthening certain flood-related services.PILLER comprises four components:Component 1 - Drainage and flood protection infrastructure focuses on mitigating the negative impacts of flooding through green and grey infrastructure to protect vulnerable areas of N'Djamena from recurrent fluvial and pluvial flooding. Component 2 - Urban Planning, Resilient Community Services and Intervention focuses on improving risk-informed urban planning and management, promoting climate-resilient community interventions and strengthening selected flood-related services.Component 3 - Project Management.Component 4 - Contingent Emergency Response (CERC).Component 2 includes a sub-component 2.2 dedicated to strengthening flood-related urban services, with an emphasis on local community involvement.

South Africa, Gauteng , Pretoria

Background:UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 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. Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP's Strategic Plan.  BPPS's staff provides technical advice to Country Offices; advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas.  BPPS works closely with UNDP's Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. BPPS ensures that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP's development programmes. BPPS assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results-based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working.  BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts. Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH) In order to streamline its financial and investment engagement, UNDP launched the Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH), a finance and innovation platform, that draws on a critical mass of UNDP expertise, initiatives, and partnerships to support the mobilization and leveraging of resources for the SDGs and lead the implementation of the new UNDP private sector strategy and other initiatives. SFH is an integral part of both the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) and the Bureau of External Relations and Advocacy (BERA), as well as part of the GPN. The Hub serves as a connector, broker and global coordinator among internal and external actors; curates and manages UNDP's catalogue of service offers on SDG financing to governments, investors and companies, via the COs, to significantly enhance the scale and impact of UNDP's work. The Sustainable Finance Hub has 4+1 integrated service offers: public finance for the SDGs, private finance for the SDGs, SDG impact management and finance tracking, integrated national financing frameworks and portfolios, and the SDG finance academy.  Africa Sustainable Finance Hub As part of UNDP's corporate ambition to leverage finance as a critical development enabler, the UNDP Africa Sustainable Finance Hub (ASFH), serves as a regional platform to integrate public and private financing solutions for the 2030 Agenda and African Union Agenda 2063. Operating across 46 Sub-Saharan African countries through UNDP COs, the Hub addresses systemic barriers to SDG financingsuch as fiscal constraints, investment misalignment, and private sector gapswhile leveraging Africa's emerging opportunities in digital finance, green transitions, and inclusive growth. The ASFH combines policy advisory, innovative finance, and multi-stakeholder partnerships to transform how development is financed. Its five key priorities align with UNDP global and continental priorities: Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs): aligning public and private financing with national development through integrated national financing strategies. SDG-aligned Investment: mobilizing private capital through market intelligence, impact management integration, and thematic bonds. Private Sector Development: unlocking finance for SMEs, startups, and informal enterprises via blended finance and digital solutions. Carbon Markets: expanding Africa's leadership in carbon market development under Article 6 and partnerships to facilitate capacity-building and country-level frameworks. Inclusive Growth and Critical Minerals: Explore private-sector partnerships for sustainable mining and investment in natural resources for inclusive growth. Insurance and Risk Finance FacilityThrough the Insurance and Risk Finance Facility (IRFF), UNDP is charting new pathways to build resilience, incentivize growth and safeguard development. Housed within UNDP's Sustainable Finance Hub, the Facility is currently active in 39 countries, where it uses insurance and risk transfer to increase the financial resilience of countries, communities, households, businesses, nature and food systems.  Leveraging global expertise and resources, IRFF works with public and private partners to build the financial resilience of countries, households, businesses, nature and food systems. The IRFF develops tailored insurance solutions at the country level, while also investing in the long-term transformation of insurance markets.To enhance its insurance and risk financing activities in Africa, UNDP is looking for a Regional Specialist who supports the continent and countries across UNDP's Regional Bureau for Africa (RBA) to build financial resilience to safeguard and incentivize development. Position Purpose:The role of the Regional Specialist is a critical function within IRFF, being a catalyst for increasingly more risk-aware and resilient African region and countries.
