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 Vietnam provides critical support in the areas of democratic governance and participation; inclusive and equitable growth; and sustainable development, climate change and disaster risk reduction. Efforts to support Viet Nam’s development agenda are firmly grounded in the context of the One UN Initiative and the One Plan III, the consolidated programme of work of all UN agencies working in Vietnam.
- The presence of explosive ordnance (EO) can significantly impede human development. Landmines, cluster munitions, and other EO pose substantial obstacles to countries’ efforts to eradicate extreme poverty and reduce inequalities and exclusion simultaneously.
- In Viet Nam, a government-led survey conducted from 2010 to 2014, known as the Landmine Impact Survey, found that all 63 provinces across the country were potentially contaminated. Provinces located in the central part of Vietnam are among the most affected. The 15 most contaminated provinces identified in the Landmine Impact Survey also have a high proportion of poor and near-poor households, particularly in the Central region.
- Building on the achievements and lessons learned from the Korea-Vietnam Mine Action Project (KVMAP), the Korea-Vietnam Peace Village Project (KVPVP) aims to promote inclusive, safe, and resilient local development by mitigating the impact of EO on local communities and supporting them in improving livelihoods and health.
- The project is structured around two main outcomes and four related outputs. The first outcome, “human security,” and its associated outputs focus on mine action, while the second outcome, sustainable rural development, emphasizes livelihoods and health, providing solutions for EO victims and their communities. The project aims to provide best practices to enhance the mine action sector in Vietnam and to demonstrate how mine action activities can be closely integrated with other development solutions.
- To continue supporting the effort to remove EO in Vietnam, KVPVP was developed through close collaboration between the Governments of the Republic of Korea and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The project comprises four sub-projects with four implementing partners, including the Vietnam National Mine Action Center (VNMAC) at the central level and three selected project provinces: Binh Dinh, Quang Ngai, and Thua Thien-Hue.
- Leveraging UNDP’s global and local technical expertise in mine action across various countries, including in Southeast Asia, its extensive experience in managing large projects in Vietnam, its strong governance and public administration expertise, and commitment to sustainable development, UNDP Vietnam has been entrusted by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to implement the project and provide technical support to partners.
