Job Description
Background

UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.

UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
UNDP is systemically changing how its institutional and programmatic activities are portrayed and financed. Country Offices are now compelled to unlock new innovative partnerships and business models that enable programmes, projects, and services that support countries to accelerate sustainable development. Adopting a new resource management paradigm, as the global funding landscape for development cooperation is transforming requires the enabling self-sustaining initiatives that are people centered, results oriented and impactful. As a result, the dynamic positioning of UNDP for emerging opportunities that help communities to address the complex and evolving development challenges, is core to country office programming and delivery.

UNDP has identified partnerships, advocacy and communications as a core strategic area of growth in support of its work at global, regional and country level. Focus on this area is motivated by the new demands posed by the 2030 and 2063 agendas, which require concerted creative and innovative actions from all development actors, to achieve the ambitious goals for socioeconomic transformation and sustainable development. It is also driven by the growing need to innovate and shift development narrative, that positions UNDP as convener of national and regional policy dialogue, facilitator of development partnerships and the enabler of citizenry agency to respond to development challenges.

In Nigeria, UNDP works with its national counterparts to implement its development priorities towards achievement of sustainable development. The work is guided by global, regional and national development and normative frameworks to which Nigeria is signatory to, including the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063. To support this work successfully, UNDP Nigeria intends to engage qualified professionals to support the reimagination of its development offer and support the acceleration and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through integration of community voices, ideas and action as informed by context, leaving no one behind. To ensure that UNDP is working closer with Nigerians in the vast geographical contexts, the country office is expanding its footprint by decentralizing its operations across the country; guaranteeing organizational relevance and agility that is context informed and increased comparative advantage to walk with Nigerians as they define their development trajectory.
