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

The UNDP works in around 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We also support countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and resilience, in order to sustain development results. UNDP leads the efforts to achieve the 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's Nordic Representation Office (NRO) is located at the UN City in Copenhagen. Aside from Denmark, the office covers Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland, and together, we work to promote knowledge of UNDP's work in these central donor countries. The key tasks for the NRO are to manage UNDP's interests and communicate the organisation's key results and focus areas. UNDP's cooperation with the private sector is a significant component of NRO's work. The Private Sector team consists of a few employees and one intern in Copenhagen. The team works strategically to build partnerships with companies, financial institutions, business networks and other actors who want to work towards reaching UNDP's goals and the SDGs. 

In January 2018, the office launched the SDG Accelerator for SMEs, a programme aimed at accelerating business solutions addressing the SDGs. The team is now heavily involved in the global rollout of the programme together with other UNDP colleagues, including supporting and supervising these processes. The Green Growth and Jobs Accelerator Project (GGJAP), which is part of the Danish Arab Partnership Programme (DAPP) is the latest iteration of this model. The GGJAP is implemented in Morrocco, Tunisia, Egypt,and Jordan, and aims at creating 4,000 jobs for youth.

Technical Specialist (Regulatory, Nutrition) - P3

UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

And we never give up.   For every child, hope The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does - in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life - in its social, political, economic, civic, and cultural dimensions - her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education, and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens - addressing inequity - not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also accelerating the equitable development of nations.   How can you make a difference?

Typical regulatory activities include: - Labeling compliance: Ensure product labels meet regulatory requirements, including ingredient lists, nutritional information, and health claims. - Product registration: develop tools and guidance to support the registration process for nutrition products in target countries, liaising with regulatory authorities and liaising with suppliers to compile necessary documentation. - Track and monitor progress of supplier regulatory submissions from application to approval. - Compliance monitoring: Monitor changes in regulatory requirements and ensure ongoing compliance of nutrition products with relevant regulations. - Risk assessment: Conduct risk assessments to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nutrition products, considering factors such as ingredient quality and manufacturing processes.   To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have? Education - Master's degree or higher in food/nutrition, pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, public health, law, or related field. - Bachelor's degree in relevant field plus additional 3 years of demonstrated progressive experience in regulatory roles.

Languages - Proficiency in English is required. Proficiency in another UN working language (Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian or Spanish) is an asset.    For every Child, you demonstrate...
