Overview
Project Background, Rational and Project Description
After the 1986 People’s Power Revolution and the restoration of democracy, there was hope that a culture of human rights would take root in the Philippines. The enshrinement of human rights in the 1987 Constitution, and the establishment of the Commission on Human Rights soon after, indicated that steps were being taken in this direction. 32 years on, the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 (PDP) aims to fulfill the aspirations set by the Constitution through the Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) to public service.[1] To this end, the PDP states that democratic institutions, including the Commission of Human Rights (CHR), would be strengthened, particularly in regards to monitoring and evaluation, as well as legal protection, awareness, and aid.[2] At the same time, the PDP stresses that citizens would be empowered with access to information, training, and the mechanisms with which they can participate in governance processes so that they themselves can claim their rights.[3] In fulfillment of the Philippine Development Plan, the Commission on Human Rights and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Philippines aim to support the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, UNDP is looking for a Project Coordinator for Human Rights that will provide support to the operations and management implementation of the Norway and Japan project activities, responsible for the day-to-day coordination to enable the timely and high-impact delivery of results, contributing to UNDP’s goal of strengthening and promoting human rights in the Philippines.
