Historique

UNDP is implementing the UNDP Country Programme in Myanmar for 2013-2017 with the aim to promoting local governance, growth and sustainable development with the emphasis on rights-based, gender sensitive, inclusive and equity. This goal will be pursued through three complementary pillars; Pillar I - Local Governance, Pillar II - Environmental Governance and Disaster Resilience, and Pillar 3- Democratic Governance.

Environmental Governance and Disaster Resilience Pillar focuses on strengthening capacities at local, regional and national level to manage and utilize natural resources in a sustainable way, and to enhance resilience and adaptive capacity to long-term climate change including variability impacts and to reduce the associated risk of natural disasters.

UNDP’s work in environmental governance and natural resource management concentrates on the following interlinked strategies: 1) building institutional capabilities for strengthening institutions for environmental and social protection as well as for integration of environmental concerns into national and sectoral plans and strategies, 2) promoting institutional and community capacity for climate change mitigation through implementation of Myanmar REDD+ Readiness Roadmap, and access to renewable energy, 3) biodiversity conservation through integrating biodiversity and ecosystem management into development planning and production sector activities, and strengthening protected area system.

Under the guidance of the Country Director and direct supervision of Team Leader (Environmental Governance and Disaster Resilience), the Programme Analyst (environmental governance and natural resource management) acts as a manager and supervises on all aspects of environmental governance, natural resource management and Climate Change Mitigation including rural renewable energy. The Programme Area portfolio comprises UNDP’s support to the government in strengthening environmental governance, conservation of natural resources, implementation of Myanmar REDD+ Readiness Programme, and other programmes contributing to climate change mitigation including access to rural renewable energy funded by multi-lateral and bilateral donors and the Global Funding Mechanisms such as GEF. The Programme Analyst also contributes to the Environmental Governance and Disaster Resilience Pillar Team in strategic planning and identifies new programme areas while ensuring consistency with Country Programme priorities and creative responses to emerging challenges and opportunities.

The Programme Analyst works in close collaboration with Bangkok Regional Hub Office, UNDP Headquarters the other UN Agencies, Government Officials, multi-lateral and bi-lateral donors, and civil society organizations to successfully implement the environmental governance & Natural Resource Management Programme of UNDP.
