Historique

Transparency, accountability and anti-corruption are at the core of UNDP work to bridge inequalities in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2014 the region witnessed a significant increase in anti-corruption interventions with on-going programs in 11 countries in Asia Pacific. In 2014, with the support of UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub (BRH) and the Global Anti-Corruption Initiative (GAIN), new initiatives were launched (Pakistan, Indonesia and Vietnam) and ongoing projects were upscaled (the Philippines, China and Thailand) to integrate anti-corruption in development solutions and mitigate risks in service delivery.

The UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub (BRH) is responsible for the implementation of regional projects, knowledge management activities and the provision of advisory services to the UNDP Country Offices in Asia and the Pacific. The Global Anti-Corruption Initiative (GAIN) is UNDP’s vehicle to respond to the growing demand for technical assistance in the area of service delivery and anti-corruption and ensure policy coherence and coordinate programming support to countries. GAIN supports interventions at global, regional and country levels in order to promote national ownership, capacity development, effective aid management and South-South cooperation in addressing corruption and fostering democratic governance.

Under the guidance and direct supervision of the Effective Governance Team Leader, the Consultant will help ensure continuity in the technical support from BRH to Country Offices on anti-corruption.
