Since 2011, Jordan has been pursuing a series of important constitutional and legislative reforms that are in line with a policy vision to build effective and accountable democratic institutions, and to establish a more dynamic and inclusive participation by citizens.

Her/his vision of development should pragmatically integrate the fundamental orientation of UNDP in democratic governance and social development with other areas of focus such as poverty reduction and environmental and climate change governance.

The incumbent will, under the overall guidance of the Resident Representative and daily coordination with the DRR, function as the principal advisor on democratic governance to UNDP-Jordan and the national counterparts, assume leadership, provide overall direction, financial supervision, and ensure the management of the Inclusive Participation & Institutional Strengthening Pillar.
