Overview : As a trusted and neutral multilateral partner working in around 170 countries and territories around the world, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is uniquely positioned to advocate for transformative change, connect countries to the knowledge and resources they require to promote sustainable human development and to coordinate the efforts of the United Nations at the country level. Aiming to eradicate poverty, violence and hunger, UNDP supports countries in Africa to translate economic growth into long-lasting, inclusive human development. The organisation works with governments, businesses, communities and regional organisations, helping countries to develop capacity, share knowledge and mobilize funds for sustainable development. In 2014, UNDP started implementing its new strategic plan to become more driven, results-oriented, and efficient. The plan will ensure UNDP will be fit for purpose and make the best use of the resources trusted to it. Making an impact on country level and the ability to make prominent contributions to the global development dialogue are key objectives of the plan. As an extension of the UNDP Headquarters, the UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa (RSCA), based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, serves UNDP’s 46 Country Offices in Africa and implements UNDP’s Regional Programme on the continent. In line with its regional orientation and focus, the key partners for implementation of the Regional Programme are the African Union (AU) and its subsidiary bodies, especially the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) with special attention to South-South and triangular approaches and measures to foster complementarity with Global and Country Programmes. The UNDP regional programme aims at providing support to implementation of the African Union Vision 2063 - An integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven and managed by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the international arena as well as the African Union Commission Strategic Plan 2014-2017. “Within the context of the evolving global development cooperation architecture,including the Paris and Busan principles, UNDP will deepen partnerships for strategic thinking, knowledge generation and exchange, capacity development, and resource mobilization. To that end, a partnership and resource mobilization strategy will be formulated at the outset of programme implementation.” UNDP has allocated some core resources for implementation of the RPD and intends to mobilize an equal amount through various strategic partnerships with the overall aim to enhance cooperation for development in the continent. To this effect, the Consultant will develop a partnership and resource mobilization strategy and action plan for the RPD 2014-2017.
