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.
UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
UNDP’s policy work carried out at Headquarters, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan.
Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. BPPS’s staff provides technical advice to Country Offices, advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government, and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas. In addition, BPPS works closely with UNDP’s Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. While ensuring that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP’s development programmes, BPPS also assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results-based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working. Lastly, BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts. In UNDP’s strategic plan, development finance is an enabler to advance the SDGs and support other programmatic areas of UNDP.
The world needs an economic governance architecture deliberately designed to support governments, development agencies, civil society, and the private sector to make decisions that prioritize investment in the SDGs. Thus, UNDP established the Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH) in 2019, aggregating UNDP’s existing work and expertise on financing the SDGs. UNDP aims to promote the investment of over $1 trillion of public expenditure and private capital in the SDGs and maximize development impact for country partners. With this goal, UNDP will mobilize governments, institutional and commercial investors, financial institutions, and enterprises alike to take a more integrated approach to sustainable investment, enabling and promoting the impact integrity of actual and realized investments to enhance transparency, and optimize private and public sectors contributions to achieving the SDGs. SFH is building an agile innovation platform that draws on a critical mass of UNDP expertise, initiatives across all parts of the organization and wide-ranging partnerships to support the mobilization and leveraging of financing for the SDGs, at national, regional, and global levels. SFH offers a comprehensive package of methods and tools and brings the best of UNDP to accelerate progress of the SDGs.
UNDP’s portfolio of support on Public Finance for SDGs includes engagement with Ministries of Finance, Tax Authorities, other government entities, parliaments, and civil society. UNDP supports these actors to integrate a focus on the attainment of the SDGs and national sustainable development priorities through their budgets, tax policy and administration, and debt management. This portfolio includes global projects such as the Tax for SDGs and Tax Inspectors Without Borders (TIWB) Projects; regional projects such as the Climate Finance Network in Asia Pacific; PALOP-T programme in Portuguese speaking countries; and UNDP’s engagements on sustainable debt instruments including in partnership with the European Commission Sustainable Finance Advisory Hub, to name a few.
UNDP’s Public Finance for SDGs approach focuses on looking at the integrated function of tax, expenditures, debt and insurance and risk finance in delivering on specific sustainable development priorities such as climate, nature, gender and poverty as well as looking across these sustainable development priorities and the public finance trade-offs and synergies in their achievement. UNDP’s public finance for SDGs portfolio is supported across UNDP’s Global Policy Network teams and requires collaboration across teams as well as with Regional Bureaus and Country Offices.
UNDP works in partnership with the IMF, OECD, World Bank as well as other international and regional organizations in delivering its Public Finance for SDGs support to developing countries. UNDP is also working across countries to ensure public finance reforms that accelerate the achievement for SDGs are built into government’s longer-term strategies for financing the achievement of their development priorities, in particular into the Integrated National Financing Frameworks, including ensuring public finance measures are considered also in relation to unlocking private capital for sustainable development.
Under the overall supervision of the Director of the Sustainable Finance Hub, the Public Finance for SDGs Lead Advisor will have oversight of global project managers including on Tax for SDGs and TIWB as well as providing quality assurance and guidance across UNDP teams engaging on public finance for SDGs. The Lead Advisor will ensure the highest level of efficiency in global projects and work closely with the UNDP Country Offices and Regional Bureaus and Hubs in this regard whilst also working across UNDP teams to identify opportunities to strengthen the coherence and impact of support on public finance at global, regional and country levels.
