BackgroundDiversity, 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.Papua New Guinea was the first Pacific country to sign and ratify the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), doing so in 2004 and 2007, respectively. However, public trust in the states' ability to combat corruption remains low at both national and sub-national levels. Civil society in Papua New Guinea is fragmented. NGOs have struggled to speak with one voice on issues of national interest. As part of its efforts to relaunch a national anti-corruption drive in 2020, the national Government endorsed the current National Anti-Corruption Plan of Action 2020 - 2025 (NACPA). The NACPA identifies fifteen Programmes of Work (POWs) to deliver core anti-corruption priorities, identify key activities and allocate responsibilities to stakeholders. The Action to develop the NACPA has been developed by different entities of the Government, civil society, the private sector and development partners. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has played an important role in supporting the implementation of the NACPA. In 2021, UNDP and UNODC with support from the European Union, began implementing initiatives to support the Government of Papua New Guinea and key stakeholders progress national anti-corruption priorities. Much of this has been delivered under the Project on Preventing and Countering Corruption in Papua New Guinea (the 'Project'). Under this initiative, UNDP is partnering with key national institutions, civil society, and communities to strengthen their capacities to address corruption. Specifically, the project aims to strengthen the Papua New Guinea's national integrity system by supporting core anti-corruption institutions and processes in close partnership with key government and non-government bodies. Building on its anti-corruption work, UNDP is expanding its support to strengthen the capacity of civil society to engage in a more substantive and unified manner on matters of good governance, transparency, and advocacy. The first step in this emerging body of work, funded by the European Union, is being delivered under the Transparency and Accountability in Papua New Guinea Project or 'TAP in PNG Project.' This project aims to strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations, women organizations, journalists, youth and active citizens to demand integrity, transparency and accountability systems and practices, in line with the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and National Anti-Corruption Plan of Action (2020 – 2025) Power of Work 10: Engagement and support to Non-State Actors.  The Project is being implemented at the national level and on pilot level in Bougainville. UNDP is now seeking a highly motivated Programme Specialist to provide a range of management, operational and oversight services to this growing portfolio of work.
