We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results. UNDP is working to strengthen new frameworks for development, disaster risk reduction and climate change. 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. The internship will be an excellent opportunity to become familiar with UNDP and the wider UN system, learning more about the different thematic areas of work in the business and human rights field and of the UNDP B+HR Asia project, engage with key stakeholders, engage in awareness raising and capacity building events, and support research activities.

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 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 offers a spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in its 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 UNDP's 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 staff provide technical advice to Country Offices, advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represent UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private, government and civil society dialogues, and engage in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas.  UNDP's 2022-2025 Strategic Plan highlights our continued commitment to eradicating poverty, accompanying countries in their pathways towards the SDGs and working towards the Paris Agreement. As part of the Global Policy Network in the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support, UNDP's Nature, Climate Change, Energy, and Waste  Hubs promote and scale up integrated whole-of-governance approaches and nature-based solutions that reduce poverty and inequalities, strengthen livelihoods and inclusive growth, mitigate conflict, forced migration and displacement, and promote more resilient governance systems that advance linked peace and security agendas. BPPS work with governments, civil society, and private sector partners to integrate nature, climate, energy and waste related concerns into national and sector planning and inclusive growth policies, support country obligations under Multilateral Environmental Agreements, and oversee the implementation of the UN's largest portfolio of in-country programming nature, climate change, energy, and waste. This multi-billion-dollar portfolio encompasses:  - Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services including forests;  - Sustainable Land Management and Desertification including food and commodity systems;  - Water and Ocean Governance including SIDS;  - Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation;  - Sustainable Energy;  - Extractive Industries;  - Chemicals and Waste Management;  - Environmental Governance and Green/Circular Economy; and SCP approaches. This work advances crosscutting themes on innovative finance, capacity development, human rights, gender equality, health, technology, South-South learning and digital transformation. UNDP has developed its new Strategy for Food and Agricultural Commodity Systems (FACS) to focus its vision and enhance its support to transform FACS.  FACS is fundamental to the sustainable development of the 170 countries UNDP supports. FACS are often the largest contributor to their economies; food and nutrition are fundamental for citizen health; and FACS has a key role to play in achieving the SDGs. Yet, FACS are in crisis and need to be radically transformed to become sustainable. UNDP, building on its experience, has for the first time consolidated its FACS support and vision into this Strategy. The challenges and need for change related to FACS have been highlighted by a suite of reports by many research and international organizations and think tanks. The production practices and consumption patterns of food and agricultural commodities are taking these systems on an unsustainable trajectory with multiple impacts on human development, the environment, and economies; from ecosystem degradation, conflicts over land and natural resources, reduced capacity and resilience to climate and other shocks, persistent poverty, food insecurity and related people displacement and migration, to malnutrition including overweight and obesity. There is a clear need to work in a systemic and integrated manner to transform the FACS towards sustainability.  UNDP´;s Vision for FACS 2030 is, through partnerships, to transform food and agricultural commodity systems into resilient; equitable; healthy, inclusive; environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable systems. Working on FACS will contribute to not only recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, by creating sustainable and resilient livelihoods for many along the FAC supply chains, but also to preventing further zoonoses from emerging in the future. This will require a change in the current paradigm of agricultural production focusing on maximizing productivity to a new paradigm based on diversified agroecological systems that work simultaneously on achieving economic, environmental, social, and health outcomes; with smallholders as a key part of the solution in their role as the engine of economic development. A FACS practice has been established within UNDP´;s Nature, Climate, and Energy team, which is tasked to support UNDP Country Offices with FACS-related challenges in a way that is aligned with UNDP´;s FACS strategy.  As part of its work on systems change, the FACS practice has developed the "Conscious Food Systems Alliance" (CoFSA), a movement of food, agriculture, and consciousness practitioners, convened by UNDP, and united around a common goal: to support people from across food and agriculture systems to cultivate the inner capacities that activate systemic change and regeneration. The conceptual design of the Alliance began in September 2020, including the development of a Concept Note. Partner outreach to key stakeholders, including development agencies, companies, governments, NGOs, donors, academia, grassroots and indigenous networks, and consciousness experts commenced throughout 2020-21. In October 2021, the CoFSA launched the 'The Breathing Room'; an intentional and transformative space where core partners connect deeply with themselves and one another to co-create and co-implement the Conscious Food Systems Alliance – vision, strategy, portfolio of activities, partnerships, resourcing, global reporting and advocacy.   The CoFSA strategy for phase III, starting in Q4 2022, is to move into application to test and demonstrate approaches for cultivating inner capacities in food systems; and to convene a Community of Practice and Learning at the centre of the Alliance to facilitate learning and knowledge exchange, peer support and inspiration, etc. The two pillars feed in and reinforce each other, as learnings from the pilot activities will feed into the Community of Practice and Learning, whilst the community will serve as a space to develop partnerships for collaboration on interventions and training. In 2023, The Conscious Food Systems Alliance: - Launched a series of activities among which: Collective Inquiry series on core areas of intervention (including, Conscious Local Communities and Cultures for Regeneration, Farmers well-being and psychological resilience, Traditional Wisdom for Conscious Food Systems); Consciousness Practice Sessions for food systems transformation (e.g., mindfulness, nature-connection, non-violent communication, etc.), and monthly meditations for farmers and food producers with Satish Kumar.  - In April 2023 CoFSA convened its community and held its first 3-day in person strategic retreat at Schumacher College, UK, which allowed members to experience the role of consciousness practices in transforming food systems, build connections and collaborations and frame the next stage of the alliance's development. Some participants described this experience as profoundly transformative at both personal and professional levels. - Additionally, in July 2023, we launched a Call for Proposals, offering up to $20,000 in funding for four CoFSA member-led initiatives. These initiatives aim to demonstrate how consciousness-based approaches can strengthen inner capacities, accelerating the transformation of food systems towards regenerative, sustainable, and equitable models.   - Finally, in 2023, in partnership with the Inner Green Deal, CoFSA developed and successfully tested Conscious Food Systems Leadership, combining 6 online modules with a collaborative online platform and practice app.   Duties and Responsibilities Support to the CoFSA Team in:  - Stakeholders mapping including donors, strategic partners, and grassroots networks with data collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation in flowcharts, tables, or slides;  - Preparation and organization of calls, webinars, and virtual workshops to support donor and partner outreach;  - Maintain knowledge management tools / virtual collaborative tools for CoFSA working groups (e.g. Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, etc.);  - Drafting, designing, and updating communications content and support on social media promotion and website updates;  - Preparation of presentations, slide decks; briefing notes, project proposals, meeting minutes, and reports;  - Assist in research, including possible donors and fundraising opportunities, and on any other key CoFSA issues. - Maintaining the internal filing system up to date; including database management of COFSA Members.  - Other related tasks.   Competencies Core competencies  Achieve Results: LEVEL 1: Plans and monitors own work, pays attention to details, delivers quality work by deadline Think Innovatively: LEVEL 1: Open to creative ideas/known risks, is pragmatic problem solver, makes improvements  Learn Continuously: LEVEL 1: Open minded and curious, shares knowledge, learns from mistakes, asks for feedback Adapt with Agility: LEVEL 1: Adapts to change, constructively handles ambiguity/uncertainty, is flexible  Act with Determination LEVEL 1: Shows drive and motivation, able to deliver calmly in face of adversity, confident Engage and Partner: LEVEL 1: Demonstrates compassion/understanding towards others, forms positive relationships Enable Diversity and Inclusion: LEVEL 1: Appreciate/respect differences, aware of unconscious bias, confront discrimination   Required Skills and Experience Education: - Be enrolled in the final academic year of a first university degree programme (minimum Bachelor's level or equivalent) such as environment, agriculture, sustainable development, economics, journalism, communications, international development, social/political sciences, or related fields; or  - Be enrolled in a graduate school programme (second university degree or equivalent, or higher) such as environment, agriculture, sustainable development, economics, journalism, communications, international development, social/political sciences, or related fields; or  - Have graduated with a university degree (as defined in (a) and (b) above) such as environment, agriculture, sustainable development, economics, journalism, communications, international development, social/political sciences or related fields or related field and, if selected, must start the internship within one-year of graduation.

A.  Background of IFC The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector arm of the World Bank Group, is a leader in sustainable investment in emerging markets. IFC promotes private sector development and economic growth to reduce poverty and improve people's lives. IFC works to help achieve the World Bank Group's overarching goals of ending extreme poverty by 2030 and stimulating shared prosperity in every developing nation. To understand its impact, IFC has developed a results measurement system and a cohort of staff who specialize in helping operational colleagues understand and articulate the development impact of their projects. At the project level, IFC sets out to achieve concrete, measurable internal development targets that are specified at the design phase and, if needed, reviewed from time to time. These targets are linked to IFC's corporate development goals. Progress towards achieving these targets is continuously tracked by its monitoring system, after which evaluative approaches using multiple methods to assess the longer-term impact of interventions are employed. This deliberate, systematic approach allows IFC to track the progress of its projects throughout their life cycle, and incorporate lessons learned into operations to improve future goal setting and project design. It also helps IFC to become more results-focused and to improve its transparency and accountability to stakeholders. Through the business it does with its private sector clients, IFC's priorities in Manufacturing, Agribusiness and Services (MAS) are: (i) increasing productivity and access to goods and services, while protecting the environment, supporting low carbon growth and enhancing resilience to climate change related impacts; (ii) making IFC the preferred financing partner of choice for targeted clients, in part through its world-class industry expertise; (iii) supporting select local companies to grow while improving their transparency, efficiency and sustainable competitiveness; (iv) catalyzing foreign investment, including mobilizing B loans and parallel loans; and (v) developing client, sector and country-level solutions that can be scaled and replicated with a special focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation.   B.

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 Le PNUD est l'une des agences des Nations Unies fortement impliquée dans la lutte contre la pauvreté et les inégalités, et reste engagé en faveur de l'agenda 2030. Cet engagement se traduit par appuis politiques et programmatique auprès des Etats membres. Le Bureau Régional pour l'Afrique, avec ses démembrements en différents hub régionaux, ambitionne d'être plus proche, et, à l'écoute des Bureaux Pays, afin de leur apporter l'appui nécessaire.  Le Hub de Dakar qui couvre 27 pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre, articule l'essentiel de son programme sur des questions de gouvernance, du changement climatique et de la gestion des risques et des catastrophes naturelles, la stabilisation et le relèvement économique... L'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre, connu pour le dynamisme de sa population, fait cependant face aux innombrables défis et menaces qui impactent la qualité de vie déjà précaires des populations. D'un point de vue économique et dans la perspective des ODD qui contribuent à la prospérité des populations, la situation demeure préoccupante. La faim, l'analphabétisme, les conflits, les maladies, l'insécurité font l'objet des revendications véhémentes de la population au point d'alimenter l'instabilité politique dans plusieurs pays et la paupérisation de plus en plus aigüe de la population. Ce contexte de fragilité, de crise et de post-crise contribue à la vulnérabilité des hommes et des femmes qui se battent quotidiennement pour leur survie. Le rêve d'une stabilité des emplois et des revenus, mieux, l'aspiration légitime pour des emplois décents s'éloigne davantage chaque jour. Cette situation est exacerbée par la survenance des différents aléas, notamment ceux liés aux effets du changement climatique, à la survenance des catastrophes naturelles et des pandémies, aux fortes tendances inflationnistes, aux chutes des cours des matières, ... Si pour les grosses entreprises la couverture face aux différents aléas est assurée, pour les PME et les petits travailleurs, surtout ceux évoluant dans le secteur informel, c'est la lutte pour la survie ou seuls les plus agiles y arrivent. Ces acteurs qui représentent près de 60% de la population active dans la majorité des pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du centre méritent une attention particulière. La mise en place des différents mécanismes de protection sociale nécessite la mobilisation des différents intervenants ainsi que des ressources y afférentes.
