We support countries' efforts to achieve the new Sustainable Development Goals, which will guide global development priorities through 2030. The key 2030 Agenda principle of leaving no one behind and stamping out inequality is at the core of everything we do. UNDP focuses on helping countries build and share solutions in three main areas: - Sustainable development - Democratic governance and peacebuilding - Climate and disaster resilience In all our activities, we encourage the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women, minorities and the poorest and most vulnerable.   INTERNSHIP OFFICE BACKGROUND: In many countries in Asia, open markets and pro-growth policies have translated into several decades of economic growth and reduced poverty rates. Yet, economic progress has, in some contexts, resulted in a large number of human rights abuses along the length of operations and their supply chains. The human rights impacts of these operations are no longer deemed acceptable to many consumers, shareholders, government authorities, and business leaders. The UNDP Asia-Pacific, Business and Human Rights Unit, is playing a central role in promoting the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). The UNGPs clarify the duty of states and the responsibility of businesses to uphold international norms on human rights. The UNGPs rest on three pillars, namely the State duty to protect human right, the corporate responsibility to respect human rights and; and the independent and complementary roles of States and businesses to ensure that victims of business-related human rights abuses have access to effective remedy. UNDP's regional project on Business and Human Rights, titled "Business and Human Rights in Asia: Promoting Responsible Business Practices through Regional Partnerships", has the objective of strengthening the business and human rights agenda in Asia through awareness raising, capacity building, and peer-learning among a diverse set of stakeholders including governments, businesses, national human rights institutions, civil society organisations and others. The project provides technical and advisory support to governments and national human rights institutions; promote corporate human rights policies, due diligence practices, and remediation; amplify the voices of rights holders and highlight the need for effective remedy through awareness raising, capacity building, facilitating peer learning,  conducting research and developing toolkits.

11/05/2024 - 20/05/2024

Public Sector Specialist - GF

United States of America, Washington, Washington DC - World Bank Group

Description Do you want to build a career that is truly worthwhile? Working at the World Bank provides a unique opportunity for you to help our clients solve their greatest development challenges. The World Bank consists of two entities – the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). It is a global development cooperative owned by 189 member countries. As the largest development bank in the world, the World Bank provides loans, guarantees, risk management products, and advisory services to middle-income and creditworthy low-income countries, and coordinates responses to regional and global challenges. Visit http://www.worldbank.org/.   Governance Global Practice The Governance Global Practice (GGP) supports client countries to build capable, efficient, open, inclusive, and accountable institutions. Countries with strong institutions prosper by creating an environment that facilitates private sector growth, reduces poverty, delivers valuable services, and earns the confidence of its citizens. Further information: https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/governance.   The GGP has the following business-lines and cross-cutting areas of focus:   • Anticorruption, Openness and Transparency • Fiduciary Assurance • Public Financial Management (PFM)/Public Investment Management (PIM) • Political Economy  • Public Institutions • State Owned Enterprises (SOEs)/ Corporate Governance • Subnational/Decentralization • Tax Administration   The GGP interventions range from diagnostics, technical assistance, and advisory services; learning, innovation and knowledge management; preparation of financing operations and provision of project implementation support, monitoring and reporting. An important part of its responsibilities is to deliver operational support to other Practices, including through inputs for policy-based operations, hands-on implementation advice, and direct fiduciary due diligence of investment financing.   Regional Context The Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region comprises 30 extremely diverse countries, with a population of nearly 500 million people. Three of our clients are IDA only and another 2 are IDA-blend countries.  The remaining 25 are IBRD- eligible. Although 10 of our clients have joined the EU and 7 of these have graduated, most continue to remain active recipients of knowledge and/or lending services. ECA has a substantial lending pipeline as well as a portfolio of Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS), concentrated primarily in a few countries. Knowledge is critical to the Bank's value proposition to client countries in the ECA region in both lending and advisory services.   A predominantly middle-income region, ECA's slow growth and persistently high unemployment have threatened to reverse the region's achievements in reducing poverty and increasing shared prosperity. The region continues to struggle with multiple structural weaknesses, including high public debt burdens, tight fiscal space, low investment, and financial sector vulnerabilities.  The recent war in Ukraine, geopolitical tensions, the refugee crisis, rise in prices and complex Eurozone issues pose further challenges to the region's economic prospects.   In addition, the ECA region is highly vulnerable to climate change. The region has a large potential to strengthen resilience to climate change and also to improve energy efficiency, thereby reducing its contribution to climate change. Other important challenges affecting the region include poor governance, closed borders, diverse fragility risks related to regional tensions, frozen conflicts, and domestic instability in some geopolitically important countries.   In view of these challenges, the ECA regional strategy is based on three pillars: (i) Sustainable and Inclusive Growth; (ii) Human Capital; and (iii) Resilience. Under the first pillar, the WBG supports reform programs and investments to improve government efficiency and service delivery, market creation, financial stability and connectivity for growth. Under the second pillar of Human Capital, ECA supports programs for social inclusion, especially for unemployed youth and disadvantaged communities such as the Roma; meeting the challenge of protecting the most vulnerable, and responding to aging and health challenges. The third pillar prioritizes climate action and building resilience to natural disasters, and facing the challenge of displaced populations.   The EECG2 Unit covers three country management units (CMUs) in ECA: Turkey, the Western Balkans and the EU countries. The EECG2 portfolio includes lending instruments (PforR, IPF-DLI, IPF), Trust Funds (TFs), Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA), and Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS). The EECG2 team also collaborates with other GPs to enhance governance in sectors.   Duties and Accountabilities The Public Sector Specialist based in Washington DC, will make an expert technical contribution to the work of the GGP focused on the West ECA Region in the areas of decentralization, local finances and public service delivery. His/her duties and accountabilities include, but are not limited to the following:   • Perform Task Team Leader (TTL) or Team member duties for the preparation and management of projects, in the area of decentralization, regional and local economic development, including using PfR instruments; • Prepare and implement large multi-sector Trust Funds (TFs) providing advisory services and technical assistance on regional and local development to foster economic, social and institutional convergence with and within the European Union as part of its regional and cohesion programs and the EU accession process; • Conduct high-level dialogue and Analytic and Advisory Services (ASA) on fiscal, administrative and functional decentralization, regional development and convergence, local taxes and resource management and service delivery;  • Lead research and analytics in the areas of decentralization, multi-level governance, domestic revenue mobilization, subnational governments' capability and performance;   • Participate in missions, provide inputs and guidance to EECG2 task teams, assess public sector policy issues through a public governance perspective, and prepare terms of reference for assigned work as necessary. • Contribute as needed to GGP activities in other countries in the region. • As requested by the Practice Manager for EECG2, undertake other activities, as appropriate.   Selection Criteria   The position requires a highly-motivated professional with the following competencies:   • Minimum Education/Experience: Master degree in economics or public policy and a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience.

Democratic Governance and Peace Building - Internship

Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa - United Nations Development Programme

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.   Background II. Background Governance is one of the six signature solutions in UNDP's Strategic Plan 2022-2025 – alongside poverty and inequality, resilience, environment, energy, and gender equality - to support countries towards three directions of change: structural transformation, leaving no one behind and resilience. The objective of UNDP's Governance work is to ensure that accountable, inclusive, and effective Governance underpins sustainable development. UNDP's Governance assistance, including that provided through UNDP's Global Programme, Governance for People and Planet (G4PP), is multi-dimensional and multi-level and goes beyond technical solutions to support a "systems approach" which is human rights based, problem-driven and participatory to accelerate development and ensure no one is left behind. Since 1995, Ethiopia has adopted a multiparty parliamentary system and it has embarked on a process of modifying the governance architecture, reforming the civil service, building capacity of democratic institutions, deepening decentralization, and improving the delivery of basic services. These gains have improved the governance system to some extent and broadened opportunities for political participation. However, the governance landscape in Ethiopia remains complex, fluid, and challenging. Despite the good progress made so far, there is a long way to go in terms of ensuring good governance, consolidating democracy, ensuring the rule of law, protection of human rights, prevention of violent conflicts, managing diversity and promoting social cohesion. Transforming governance structures and systems, and consolidating democracy are a process. Transforming the fledgling democratic institutions into vibrant bodies that are capable of effectively delivering on their constitutional mandates requires sustained and concerted efforts. Ethiopia is under pressure due to major political, social, and economic crises that are taking place in the last five years and more. The pervasive violent conflict and war in almost all parts of the country is the major challenge resulting in the losses of lives and devastated economy. Unresolved past grievances, ethnic, political, religious polarizations, intra and inter region boarder conflicts, governance deficits and disruption of constitutional, order compounded by the ongoing fueling hate speech and propaganda have been the key underlying causes of the violent conflict in the country. Addressing the causes and impacts of the conflict, being the major shock in the country, is crucial to recover back Ethiopia to its peace, stability, and development path. Commendably, there are measures by the GoE to address those ongoing political crises in the country. In concurrent to CPD (2020-2025)[[1]](https://jobs.undp.org/cj_view_job.cfm?cur_job_id=116129#_ftn1), UNDP has also been investing to support ongoing efforts that sought to promote dialogue among the different facets of Ethiopian Community along with its interventions to strengthen the capacity of key federal and regional partners in Ethiopia for an effective conflicts management, prevention, and peacebuilding interventions.   Despite a generally positive development trajectory, significant structural challenges, reflecting a country in transition, will determine future development potential and achievement of the SDGs.
