Project and Portfolio Development Specialist - P3

Thailand, Bangkok, Bangkok - United Nations Development Programme

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. UNDP's presence in the Bangkok Regional Hub (BRH) of the Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific (RBAP) delivers a full range of policy, programme, and operations support to 24 Country Offices (COs) in the Asia-Pacific region. As part of the Country Office Support and Quality Assurance (COSQA) Unit, the Management Advisory Services Team (MAST) provides strategic management oversight and advisory support. As part of the team, the incumbent will work with evidence and data to analyze performance indicators and contribute to the Regional Bureau's quality assurance and oversight actions to enhance the Regional Bureau and CO management performance. S/he will also work closely with different teams in the Regional Bureau and Country Offices, Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS), Bureau for Management Services (BMS), Global Shared Services Centre (GSSC), and Office of Audit and Investigations (OAI) to ensure coherent, timely, and appropriately prioritized measures and solutions.  A comprehensive review of trends of observations from the country office audits carried out by the Office of Audit and Investigations (OAI) across various RBAP offices, audits of directly implemented projects (DIM), mid-term reviews, and terminal evaluations of projects indicate persistent weakness in programme and project management, with a focus on the project design stage, whereby results frameworks, multi-year work planning and proper costing of procurement and human resource plans in the projects were cited. This ultimately leads to a diminished ability to articulate and demonstrate project results, the unclear correlation between resources spent and results, and failure to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our development interventions or contribution to sustainable development goals.    DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES The Project and Portfolio Development Specialist provides substantive advisory support to Country Offices in the region on the alignment of Vertical Funds (GEF, GCF, and others) and non-VF projects and ensures oversight of the formulation of the projects and portfolios in the region from project concept to initiation plan and full project document as well as portfolio documents, focusing but not limited to the quality assurance of programme related aspects of the design, management arrangements, management of risks, selection of partners, and all other requirements defined in the UNDP programming quality standards/criteria. S/he also works closely with the subject matter experts and country specialists in the COSQA, Global Policy Network (GPN), and other teams in the Bangkok Regional Hub, BPPS and Regional Technical Advisors, performing quality assurance functions on all aspects of VF and non-VF project formulation and flags issues of concern on those requiring higher CO and RBAP management attention promptly. Under the overall guidance of the Management Advisor and direct supervision of the Programme Management Specialist in the Regional Bureau, working in close collaboration with the Risk Management Specialist, Management and Oversight Team, Country Programme Specialists, GPN, and the Regional Technical Advisors of the BPPS, s/he guides the COs in ensuring the quality of the project design in line with programming standards of UNDP.  To be successful in this role, the Project and Portfolio Development Specialist should have the ability to think creatively and connect the dots across programme, operations, and project management. S/he should also have excellent people and communication skills and a keen interest and track record in designing and facilitating engaging and interactive training events for clients.  UNDP adopts a portfolio approach to accommodate changing business needs and leverage linkages across interventions to achieve its strategic goals. Therefore, UNDP personnel are expected to work across units, functions, teams, and projects in multidisciplinary teams to enhance and enable horizontal collaboration. Key duties and accountabilities include: - Ensure guidance and quality assurance to COs on the formulation of the portfolios in the Asia-Pacific region. - Provide oversight of the design of development interventions for the optimization of development results. - Accelerate measures to shift from projects to portfolio approaches.  - Capacity development and knowledge management on project and portfolio design. Ensure guidance and quality assurance on the formulation of the portfolios in the Asia-Pacific region: - Provide advice to COs in project formulation for high-priority non-VF and VF projects, focusing on quality standards and guiding on governance and management arrangements, partners' selection, financial management, procurement, human resources, programme finance, and enterprise risk management. - In close consultation with the relevant teams and technical experts/project developers in Country Offices, BPPS Regional Technical Advisors/Specialists, Regional Bureau staff, BMS, and others, provide advisory services and support in line with donor policies throughout project implementation, monitoring, and closure. - Proactive guidance to COs on the analyses required in project formulation, such as updated and evidence-based partners' capacity assessments, social and environmental screenings and assessments, private sector risk assessment, market analyses, requisite feasibility studies, country office capacities, etc. - Guide COs on programme oversight requirements to be planned and budgeted during project formulation to ensure alignment with corporate and donors' expectations. - Ensure COs use existing data on partners' performance, HACT assurance activities, evaluations, social and environmental assessments, risk dashboards, audits, and other corporate tools to strengthen the formulation of the projects within the Vertical Fund portfolio.  - Advice on establishing mechanisms for pre-appraisal and quality assurance reviews of the draft project documents to improve programming quality. - Establish a database of good quality indicators to support offices in the design of initiatives.
