All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. The Papua New Guinea government addresses corruption. Over the last three decades, its efforts have yielded varying degrees of success. 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. This was followed by a number of significant developments. Challenges, however, persist. Public trust in states' ability to combat corruption remains low. Civil society in Papua New Guinea is fragmented. NGOs have struggled to speak with one voice on issues of national interest. National and sub-national governance arrangements complicate matters by aiming to deliver services through public, statutory, and authority-style institutions. 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) to implement the existing NACS framework. The NACPA identifies fifteen Programmes of Work (POWs) that divide up Papua New Guinea's core anti-corruption priorities, identify key activities and allocate responsibilities to stakeholders. Action to develop the NACPA drawn together various areas of Government, civil society, the private sector and development partners. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has played an important role in supporting, facilitating and advising on various aspects of this effort. 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 Government, key national institutions, civil society and communities to strengthen their capacities to address corruption. Specifically, the Project aims to assist strengthening Papua New Guinea's national integrity system through the strengthening of core anti-corruption institutions and processes in close partnership with key Government and non-government bodies. The success of this work has resulted in calls for UNDP to expand its efforts and specifically in strengthening 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, will be delivered under the newly commissioned, Transparency and Accountability in Papua New Guinea Project or 'TAP in PNG Project.' Delivered by UNDP, the goal of TAP in PNG Project is to support strengthening of Civil Society Organizations, Women Organizations, journalists, youth and active citizens to demand improved integrity transparency and accountability systems and practices. The Project will be implanted at the national level and on pilot level in Bougainville. This will be done by working with non-state actors including Civil Society Organizations, Women's Organizations, journalists, youth, community leaders and other active citizens 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.

Background The United Nations Development Programme (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, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. The Europe and Central Asia region (ECA) covers a vast geographic area that is diverse in terms of ethnic, religious and cultural makeup. It consists of 19 countries and territories in Central Asia, South Caucasus, Western Balkans, Eastern Europe, Cyprus and Türkiye. Although most economies in the region have achieved middle-income status and relatively high levels of human development, persistent challenges to sustainable peace, effective and inclusive governance, and human rights remain. In the recent years, the region has faced combined risks, including issues regarding human rights and the rule of law, governance issues, cross-border hostilities, and armed conflicts. Of particular concern is the youth unemployment rate among young people aged 15 to 24 in ECA (16.4 per cent in 2022), which was estimated to be 1.5 per cent higher than the world average of 14.9 per cent. In 2023, the ECA region saw a higher share of youth attending school (66 per cent) compared to other regions (52 per cent), but the substantial lack of educational opportunities continues not only to hamper personal and professional growth, but also restricts full participation of youth in the economy. Despite the comprehensive green recovery packages introduced before the COVID-19 crisis, most ECA countries and territories have not prioritized environmentally friendly measures in their economic recovery plans. As a result, progress toward a just transition in the region has been impeded. It is crucial to address these gaps and foster better alignment between youth-focused policies and population dynamics to promote sustainable development. The UN has a unique opportunity to support young people by providing diverse opportunities and creating inclusive spaces for their development. The importance of youth development and engagement is underscored in various international frameworks, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Security Council Resolutions 2250 (2015) and 2419 (2018), as well as the Youth2030 Strategy. These frameworks recognize the positive role that young people play in achieving sustainable development, preventing crises, and promoting peace. UNDP's Strategic Plan (2022-2025) places a strong emphasis on youth empowerment and development, emphasizing their involvement in various critical areas such as economic progress, political participation, and innovation. At the same time, the UNDP Gender Equality Strategy 2022-2025 recognizes the intersectionality of gender and youth issues, aiming to address the specific challenges faced by young women and girls. Recognizing the potential of youth as agents of positive change in the ECA region, UNDP plays a significant role in empowering and engaging youth through various initiatives, valuing their unique perspectives, energy, and innovative ideas. In this regard, the UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub (IRH) together with partners established the Eurasian Youth Network for Climate, Peace, and Security (Network), in September 2022. The Network was set up to foster youth engagement and regional collaboration by providing a platform for joint activities, knowledge sharing, and consultations on youth engagement focused project designs. Since then, the Network adopted a joint vision and mission along with an annual workplan, which involves expanding the Network and empowering its members through capacity building workshops, global networking, project development, resource mobilization and partnering with the private sector. In the advertised role, the selected Candidate will contribute to the work of IRH in supporting the Network's sustainability, networking, and resource mobilization efforts. The Governance and Peacebuilding (GPB) Team of UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub, covering the ECA region, provides advisory services to the countries in the areas of governance, anti-corruption, public sector transformation, digitalization, human rights, security, rule of law, conflict prevention, and peacebuilding.
