Background
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.
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.
Office/Unit/Project Description:
The Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) is a global program that has developed and continuously enhances a methodology to measure existing biodiversity expenditure levels, assess future financial needs, and design comprehensive plans for using financial tools to increase financing, effectiveness, and efficiency of biodiversity management across 41 countries. BIOFIN Program aims to empower governments worldwide to enhance their financial commitments, plans, and solutions to protect, restore, and sustainably manage biodiversity by providing a practical set of steps, tools, and approaches. It seeks to ensure the availability of adequate financial resources for implementing key biodiversity plans, including actions outlined in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans or similar frameworks.
In collaboration with the First Vice President’s Office, UNDP Tanzania is implementing BIOFIN in Zanzibar, currently in its second phase. The program has completed the Policy and Institutional Review (PIR) and is finalizing the Biodiversity Expenditure Review (BER) and Financial Needs Assessment (FNA), culminating in the Zanzibar Biodiversity Finance Plan (BFP) approved by the Government of Zanzibar in June 2023. At least three financial solutions have been selected for implementation in Zanzibar.
In Tanzania Mainland, BIOFIN is in its first phase, which will enable full assessments and initial implementation of finance plan elements. This involves the design of the Policy and Institutional Review (PIR) to analyze current policies, institutions, finance mechanisms, and tools related to biodiversity and ecosystem services. The Biodiversity Expenditure Review (BER) establishes a baseline of historic and current biodiversity expenditure levels and future projections, while the Financial Needs Assessment (FNA) provides a detailed costing of key biodiversity policies and plans. Finally, the Biodiversity Finance Plan (BFP) addresses all dimensions of financing biodiversity.
In this context, UNDP seeks a Project Analyst to oversee all in-country operations, manage workplans and budgets, and facilitate collaboration with the national team and external partners. The Analyst will establish and maintain implementation mechanisms, organize workshops and activities, and closely monitor project progress, ensuring adherence to quality standards and deadlines. They will also work closely with experts to design the BFP and submit regular reports on project activities and progress. The Analyst is expected to demonstrate sensitivity and adaptability to cultural, gender, religious, racial, national, and age-related aspects.
