Historique |
UNDP is the UN’s global development network. It advocates for change and connects countries to development knowledge, experience and resources that can help them build a better life for their citizens. UNDP’s knowledge networks link and coordinate global and national efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by helping countries build and share solutions to the challenges of: Democratic Governance, Poverty Reduction, Crisis Prevention and Recovery, Environment and Energy, HIV/AIDS, Capacity Development, and Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment. UNDP’s organizational model is based on dispersed capabilities and decentralised networks. As part of its mission to assist developing countries to positively influence global trends and benefit from global knowledge, the Bureau for Development Policy (BDP) – UNDP’s policy advisory body – supports UNDP’s transformation into a globally networked policy advisory organisation. The bureau takes a matrixed, regionalised approach to development policy through a network of Regional Centres. Capacity Development is a practice of the UNDPs Regional Service Centre for West Africa and Central. Based in Dakar, the Capacity Development team consists of five experts in the fields of Effectiveness of Development Aid, National Implement Capacity, Public-Private Partnerships and Institutional capacity. The team supportS 23 countries in West and Central Africa and integration in the region.
Under the supervision of the Capacity Development Practice Leader the Intern will support the sharing of information and knowledge regarding the integration of Capacity Development in programs and projects in West Africa and Central.
