BackgroundUNDP Pakistan works with the Government and communities to develop and implement local solutions to development challenges. In an evolving development context, UNDP supports the efforts of Government of Pakistan to build a more equitable, prosperous, peaceful, and resilient society, and to achieve its SDGs and COP25 targets. The Resilience, Environment and Climate Change Unit (RECCU) is supporting projects across the country to respond to the growing threat of climate change, to mainstream environmental concerns into national development planning processes, and to expand access to environmental and energy services for the poor. In particular, UNDP has sought to ensure that the poor have stronger capacities to manage, adapt, and monitor climate change. Climate Change is a huge development challenge as well as a huge environmental challenge. It is a growing problem and is now hitting the poorest and the most vulnerable first and hardest.The 2022 floods in Pakistan have affected 33 million people, resulted in the loss of more than 1,700 lives, displaced around 9 million men, women, and children, and inundated almost one-third of productive agricultural land in Pakistan. These downstream challenges are compounded with institutional issues whereby the Government of Pakistan requires support for developing overarching frameworks to structure its flood response activities and technical expertise to set up and develop bankable projects, establish standardised mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation, and enhance strategic communications for public outreach. UNDP has responded to the challenge by developing and launching a flagship Flood Recovery Programme (FRP) to support the Government of Pakistan's flood recovery and rehabilitation efforts. The Programme has four key objectives dealing with the following thematic areas:Restoration of housing and access to/revival of essential community services. Restoration of livelihoods and income-generating capacities. Restoration of governance and service delivery.Accelerated environmental clean-up with strengthened capacities for Disaster Risk Management. With the support of the Government of Korea (KOICA), FRP will employ an integrated approach to improve agriculture production in the flood-affected areas by implementing Agricultural Productivity and Rural Village Water Supply Enhancement of Flood Damaged Regions in Sindh Province project. The  project will aim at improving the lives of flood affected communities through the installation of comprehensive community water supply systems in selected villages. In this regard, the project is aligned with the key development priorities of the Government of Pakistan that are focused on undertaking recovery and development work in flood affected areas of the country. More specifically, the project is informed by the findings of the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) that provides a quantitative assessment of the damages done by the floods. The project is also aligned with the Government of Pakistan 4RF which structures the Government of Pakistan's flood response as per its four strategic recovery objectives.

On current trends, none of the goals are within reach and merely 33% of the targets are expected to be achieved by 2030. Meanwhile, human insecurity is at all-time highs, with more than half of people in most countries worried about their jobs. Looking ahead, the development landscape is likely to become more turbulent as existential threats from climate change combine with fresh headwinds to growth and job creation amidst rising governance risks. It is against this backdropa large unfinished agenda, elevated levels of insecurity, and a more turbulent development landscapethat UNDP supports countries to accelerate progress towards the 2030 Agenda and beyond. As the UN's global development network, UNDP advocates for change, and connects countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life.

BACKGROUNDUNDP 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.The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 170 countries and territories, working with governments and people on their own solutions to global and national development challenges to help empower lives and build resilient nations. UNDP has an important role in supporting health outcomes by supporting countries to address the social, cultural, and economic determinants of HIV and health, in partnership with UN entities and other organizations. This is done through UNDP's core work in 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. UNDP also contributes through its coordinating and convening role in bringing together multiple partners and resources at national and local levels.As a trusted, long-term partner of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund, GF), UNDP's value proposition lies in providing an integrated package of development solutions to strengthen institutions to deliver health services. Through its contributions as interim Principal Recipient (PR) and provider of technical assistance in over 53 countries since 2003, UNDP's provision of integrated policy, implementation and capacity development support to countries has yielded significant health and development results in challenging operating environments. Proactive risk management and investing in sustainability are the cornerstones of UNDP's portfolio management approach and providing technical assistance to national counterparts during all phases of implementation, strengthening legislation, policies, and regulatory frameworks, and building capacities across key functional areas, including financial management, health information systems, procurement and supply chain management. The Global Fund – Health Implementation Support Team, HIV, Health and Development Group, Bureau of Programme and Policy Support, Global Policy Network (GF/HIST) is a dedicated team providing support to UNDP Country Offices implementing health and development programmes.In February 2021, UNDP became the Interim Principal Recipient (PR) for HIV Grant Cycle 6 (from July 2022 and December 2023). The total value of the Grant after a one-year cost extension was USD 57,065,711 million. The Program was based on a multipronged approach aimed at addressing human rights barriers, eliminating stigma and discrimination, and expanding the scale of HIV treatment and prevention services for key population groups most affected by AIDS. UNDP's comprehensive program delivery in Grant Cycle 6 (GC6) helped in improving the national HIV response by strengthening public sector governance systems. This was complimented with capacity building of community organizations to improve prevention service delivery. As the interim Principal Recipient (PR), UNDP focused on enhancing the capacity of national and provincial AIDS control programs to ensure a smooth transition of HIV response to Government leadership and institutions. In this regard, GC-6 emphasized technical support, training, capacity building, and strategic interventions such as expanding coverage, improving data and reporting, and providing monitoring oversight. These efforts boosted the CMU's ability to manage the treatment component of Global Fund's Grant Cycle 7. An added benefit for the prevention program is the onboarding of Nai Zindagi Trust (NZT, former PR) as Co-PR in Grant Cycle 7, which will set the ground for strengthening CSO led prevention services for all key population groups. This collaboration will further improve UNDP's efforts by ensuring differentiated service delivery, addressing human rights barriers for key populations, and scaling up prevention services. DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIESUnder the direct supervision of the Global Fund Project Manager the primary responsibility of the Operations Specialist is to support the Project Manager on all aspects of operations, including overseeing, guiding and supporting day-to-day operations, providing advice to PMU staff and country stakeholders to ensure compliance with UNDP and Global Fund policies and other requirements, overseeing financial management and reporting, human resource administration, asset management, and ensuring efficient procurement and logistical management services, including close monitoring of  infrastructure projects.
