Position Description

Background

At UNDP, diversity, equity, and inclusion are guiding principles. We value diversity as a reflection of the variety of nations and cultures in which we work, we promote inclusion to give every employee the opportunity to contribute to our mission, and we uphold equity and fairness in all of our decisions. Increasing the participation of marginalized people is necessary if we are to “leave no one behind” in our diversity efforts. Those who consider themselves to be members of marginalized or excluded groups are highly urged to apply. Learn more about working for UNDP, including our core principles and motivational tales.

Any form of harassment, including sexual harassment, as well as discrimination are not tolerated by UNDP. As a result, exhaustive background and reference checks will be performed on all chosen individuals.

To create and execute regional responses to development concerns, UNDP Pakistan collaborates with the government and local people. In a setting of changing development, UNDP supports the government of Pakistan in its efforts to create a society that is more egalitarian, prosperous, peaceful, and resilient and to fulfill the SDGs and COP25 targets.

Due to climate change and variability, the nation is experiencing water scarcity, decreased land productivity, environmental degradation, a loss of biodiversity, and extreme weather occurrences. Programs that advance sustainable development through improved environmental protection are managed, coordinated, and overseen by the Resilience Environment and Climate Change Unit (RECCU).

In its National Climate Change Policy, the Pakistani government has acknowledged the danger posed by GLOFs. The risks associated with GLOF and flooding are already more than what the country’s public finances can handle. The Government of Pakistan, with assistance from UNDP, secured GCF resources to scale up ongoing initiatives on enhancing community resilience to climate change-induced disasters in KP and GB, particularly GLOF risks, in order to be able to strengthen capacities of vulnerable communities to address the GLOF issue urgently on the scale that is needed. This project’s scale-up interventions will be based on initiatives that have been successfully executed in two districts. Engineering constructions such gabion walls, automatic weather stations, rain gauges, and discharge equipment have been installed in these regions. Rural areas who received this assistance were able to prevent GLOF-related losses of life and property. With the help of the projected GCF initiative, interventions will now be available in fifteen districts across Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It will increase the technical proficiency of national and local decision-makers, enabling them to include disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into processes for medium- and long-term development planning.

The incumbent will work with the office to maintain smooth operations (given duties) and advance the MP project’s overarching objective.
