Background about UNDP

UNDP helps countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.
Background about the Position
In 2019 UNDP launched its new People for 2030 strategy guided by the vision to:
- Build a “One UNDP” culture and employer brand that generates continuing fitness for the future characterized by high performance and employee engagement, creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement, attracting and retaining talent,
- Ensure that managers at all levels are oriented towards, and capable of, leading and developing personnel, and managing performance effectively – and fully own their part of People for 2030,
- Incorporate a talent perspective into all aspects of management and organisational development,
