Mission and objectives
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is committed to helping Uzbekistan build a modern, prosperous, democratic society, based on responsive government systems, people prepared for future challenges and opportunities, and an inclusive green economy. UNDP first became active in Uzbekistan in 1993, and has over subsequent decades implemented hundreds of projects alongside the national government, business, civil society and academic. We are proud to be both Uzbekistan’s primary development partner and a leading member of the UN Family. Through the continued trust of the Government of Uzbekistan, close collaboration with our fellow UN agencies and the support of national and international donors, UNDP has helped build Uzbekistan’s market economy, modernize its government, and improve the lives of its most vulnerable citizens. In addition, UNDP has helped Uzbekistan tackle some of the most prominent ecological and environmental challenges it has faced over past years. The directions of UNDP’s work in Uzbekistan reflect the current UN Country Programme Document (CPD) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for 2021-2025. They also align with the national Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the 2030 Agenda, and Uzbekistan’s Development Strategy for 2017-2021. Throughout 2020 UNDP helped address the national health and socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and is continuing to actively assist in Uzbekistan’s inclusive, green recovery.
Context
At UNDP Uzbekistan, we are deeply committed to fostering disability inclusion, accessibility, and equal opportunities. This dedication is rooted in our belief that fostering such an environment is not only a moral imperative but also key to building a more inclusive, diverse, and effective organization. In line with this commitment, we are currently in the critical phase of finalizing our Internal Disability Inclusion Guidelines. These guidelines are more than just a set of rules; they are a reflection of our dedication to creating a workplace and society where individuals with disabilities are fully integrated and their contributions valued. To enhance the visibility and impact of these guidelines, we need to create a professionally designed cover page designs for the document and its related supplementary materials. This task is not just about aesthetic appeal; it’s about setting the tone for the content within and emphasizing the importance of the information presented. A well-designed cover page will help in capturing the essence of our commitment to disability inclusion. We are seeking an online volunteer with specialized skills in graphic design, specifically in desktop publishing, Canva, and MS Office applications. This is an incredible opportunity for volunteers to contribute meaningfully to a vital assignment while gaining insights into disability inclusion and accessibility practices. Volunteers will learn more about disability inclusion, accessibility, reasonable accommodations, and a range of inclusive practices. The selected volunteer(s) are expected to commence work on this assignment starting February 1st, 2024.
