Organizational Context
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. The mission of UNIDO, as described in the Lima Declaration adopted at the fifteenth session of the UNIDO General Conference in 2013 as well as the Abu Dhabi Declaration adopted at the eighteenth session of UNIDO General Conference in 2019, is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) in Member States. The relevance of ISID as an integrated approach to all three pillars of sustainable development is recognized by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will frame United Nations and country efforts towards sustainable development. UNIDO’s mandate is fully recognized in SDG-9, which calls to “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”. The relevance of ISID, however, applies in greater or lesser extent to all SDGs. Accordingly, the Organization’s programmatic focus is structured in four strategic priorities: Creating shared prosperity; Advancing economic competitiveness; Safeguarding the environment; and Strengthening knowledge and institutions.
Each of these programmatic fields of activity contains a number of individual programmes, which are implemented in a holistic manner to achieve effective outcomes and impacts through UNIDO’s four enabling functions: (i) technical cooperation; (ii) analytical and research functions and policy advisory services; (iii) normative functions and standards and quality-related activities; and (iv) convening and partnerships for knowledge transfer, networking and industrial cooperation. Such core functions are carried out in Divisions/Offices in its Headquarters, Regional Offices and Hubs and Country Offices.
The Directorate of Strategic Planning, Programming and Policy (SPP), headed by a Managing Director, is responsible and accountable for UNIDO’s strategic planning and programming through the provision of coordinated and cohesive frameworks and policy advice. It plays the central role for UNIDO regarding the engagement in South-South and Triangular Cooperation matters, the strategic positioning of UNIDO within the United Nation system, strategic engagement in multilateral fora including BRICS, G20 and G7. It also leads the promotion of Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women through mainstreaming gender considerations at the institutional and programmatic level. In addition, the Directorate oversees the Organization’s industrial policy research, statistics and SDG9 reporting activities, and normative function, and ensures a cohesive and consistent approach to Knowledge Management (KM) in UNIDO.
The Directorate is responsible for the Divisions of Strategic Planning and South-South Cooperation (SPP/SSC), Strategic Engagement and Coordination (SPP/SEC), Strategic Programming, Results Monitoring and Quality Assurance (SPP/SPM), Industrial Policy Research and Statistics (SPP/IPS), Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (SPP/GEW) and Knowledge Management (SPP/KMG).
The Deputy to the Director General (DDG)/Managing Director assists the Director General in the strategic positioning of UNIDO to achieve the organizational priorities. Among others, the DDG/MD, as a member of the UNIDO Leadership, contributes to achieving the organization’s strategic goals by monitoring trends regarding its work and making innovative proposals to seize opportunities and address challenges, including in cooperation with other Directorates.
Within the Office and under the supervision of the DDG/MD, the Programme Coordination Officer will assume responsibility for organizing, and coordinating cross cutting matters and operations involving the Office of the DDG/MD, the respective Divisions of SPP, the Office of the Director General and other organizational entities. S/he will provide substantive contribution to the cohesive functioning of SPP, and provide coordination to its workflows and administration. S/he will also work closely with other UNIDO Directorates, to ensure proper communication flows, build consensus and ownership of directorate plans/strategies. As an adviser to the DDG/MD, the incumbent will regularly interact with representatives of Member States and partner organizations.
At the P4 level, and within the Office of the Deputy to the Director General /Managing Director, the incumbent is expected to deliver (a) work that is innovative and original; (b) an enabling environment which expands results across functions and sectors; (c) partnership-building which results in advocating and championing UNIDO’s programmes and (d) results achieved within Programme teams.
