Overview :

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is a global organization with 18,000 staff working in approximately 170 offices globally. UNDP works in development and crisis settings with the aim to achieve the eradication of poverty, reduction of inequalities and exclusion, and sustained development results. Coming together under the new framework of the Global Policy Network (GPN), the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) and Crisis Bureau (CB) sit at the core of UNDP’s global policy, programming, and knowledge capacities.

The current revitalization of these functions aims to better capture UNDP’s knowledge, innovations, good practices and lessons learned from country, regional and global experience, drawing from a network of internal and external expertise, in order to address complex problems. To this end, UNDP has recently re-established its global Communities of Practice (CoPs), of which UNDP has a rich history, to promote and support knowledge flows within and across the GPN areas of work and enrich UNDP’s global policy and programme functions. The new model of the CoPs has a more inclusive, flexible approach taking advantage of existing networks, both internal and external to UNDP, to build inclusive communities around UNDP’s main thematic areas of work.

One of the key thematic areas the new CoP structure aligns to is focused on the topic of SDG Integration. The CoP on SDG Integration brings together colleagues globally to brainstorm ideas and concepts, co-design integrated policy solutions, and share lessons across a range of issues related to integrated approaches to sustainable development: from the latest thinking and experiences of integrated modelling tools, and comparative experiences in integrated SDG planning and programming, to cutting edge innovations that are driving acceleration and address gaps, backed by data driven and evidenced based approaches.

Across the 7 new CoPs, there is a need for dedicated support, particularly in the area of developing and monitoring indicators for success. The CoPs performance and added value to the organization and its members will be assessed through a robust measurement framework, including quantitative data measures and qualitative feedback.

Objective:

This post will facilitate one new global CoP on SDG Integration and will support the needs of development and monitoring of success indicators across all 7 CoPs. The Facilitator will report to the Policy Specialist: Community and Network Management in the Knowledge Management team and will work closely with colleagues in the SDG Integration team in the Global Policy Network
