All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. Background CORPORATE BACKGROUND: UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. 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: UNDP is committed to help achieve the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and remains dedicated to its goal to help improve the lives of the poorest women and men, the marginalized and the disadvantaged in Philippines. The Addis Ababa Action Agenda of the Third International Conference on Financing for Development recognized the importance of the private sector in addressing sustainable development challenges. Under Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), two indicators state: "Businesses operate according to internationally recognized standards of responsible business conduct" and "Businesses contribute directly to the Goals according to capacity and expertise." Clearly, with the private sector's ability to create sustainable, innovative, and scalable market solutions to address the world's problems, they play a critical role in ensuring the achievement of SDGs by 2030. While there has been increasing awareness on SDGs among businesses, businesses still require practical guidance and direction that resonate with the business community – highlighting how they can contribute to and benefit from SDGs. The G20 Framework succinctly summarizes this idea, it says: "For private capital and innovation to flow towards advancing the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), societies will have to structure incentives that simultaneously advance business and development." In this regard, UNDP has been working closely with the private sector to co-design innovative solutions and strategies that will help unlock the potential of private finance in accelerating the SDGs in the Philippines. Through the SDG Investor Maps, SDG Impact Measurement and Management, and the Integrated National Financing Frameworks, the UNDP intends to bring together businesses, international financing institutions, the diplomatic community and other civil society organizations in devising strategies that will mobilize resources for the country's critical SDG targets and indicators. UNDP seeks the services of a Private Sector Engagement Intern, based in Manila who will support project management, conduct outreach to private sector companies, and assist in the sustaining activities of UNDP Private Sector Engagement strategies.

This progreamme is now being implemented in 30 provinces in China. Besides this, there are also other ECD programmes within various teams or sections. Recognizing the multi-disciplinary nature of ECD and the integral role of each section in UNICEF China office, a cross-sectoral ECD working group has been established to support the efficient implementation of country programmes and priorities related to ECD, ensuring the expected impact is achieved. The working group is operating in a coordinated manner under a common conceptual framework and with a unified voice.
