Background |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
UNDP strives to have a workforce, which reflects diversity and gender balance, and applies an equal opportunities approach. UNDP does not solicit or screen for information in respect of HIV or AIDS status. All selections are on merit. Background: The UN General Assembly, and all its 193-member countries, in September 2015 adopted a global development vision entitled Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This 2030 Agenda was designed as a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It lays out 17 new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets, to stimulate global action over the next 15 years on issues critical to humanity and the planet. India committed to these SDGs at the September 2015 UN Summit and the SDGs officially came into force on 1 January 2016. The Government of India has actively engaged in nationalizing the SDGs from early 2016. NITI Aayog, the National Institution for Transforming India, has been entrusted with the responsibility of coordinating the efforts on SDGs with ministries and states, indicative of “whole of government” approach. The NITI Aayog has prepared an Action Agenda (3 Years) and is preparing medium term perspective plan (7 years) and long term (15 years) goals for the country through a 15-year vision document for a period up to 2030, which will be co-terminus with sustainable development goals. The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has prepared a Draft National Monitoring Framework consisting of 306 Indicators. At National level a High-Level Steering Committee has been constituted for refining the indicators which will emerge as backbone on the development interventions of the country. The UNDP India Country Programme Document CPD (2018-2022) signed with the Government of India (GoI) aims at transformative change and development impact at scale. In line with this, UNDP has initiated active support to many state governments in mainstreaming SDG’s within their schemes and programmes as a part of an UN system wide to SDG roll out for visioning and planning in India. In view of India’s commitment to the 2030 Agenda, Uttarakhand too has set ambitious targets for itself for achieving the SDGs within the state and has already formulation its SDG Vison 2030 document. In Uttarakhand, of 6.2 million people in the age group 15–59 years in 2010, 3.2 million participate in the labor force (51 percent labor force participation rate—75 percent for male, 28 percent for female), and 16 percent of the total labor force is in wage employment. This is one of the unique characteristics of workers in Uttarakhand, which has also contributed to the fast-economic growth of the state, that is high mobility. The working-age population is more likely to migrate both intrastate and interstate.[1] However, the overall job growth in the state has been negative since 2005. Moreover, the share of workers with salaried jobs remains quite low. The nonfarm sectors of Uttarakhand’s economy are not creating enough jobs to absorb the growing size of its population that is not in school. This is especially so for the state’s women, whose participation in the labor force has been declining since 1994. Therefore, the development of the skills and training sector in terms of access, quality, and relevance is one of the country’s top priorities and the Government of Uttarakhand (GoUK) is equally committed to these goals. Uttarakhand Policy for Skill Development, Employment & Entrepreneurship 2017 The draft policy recognizes the need of scaling efforts for skill development and entrepreneurship across the State and provides the framework for skill development activities in the state for Increasing e the employability of workers, the competitiveness of enterprise, and lead to less than 4% unemployment rate. The policy envisages the creation of an integrated institutional mechanism with the Uttarakhand Skill Development Mission as the Nodal agency for skill development and Employment activities- as single window for the stakeholders for skill development, employment activities, , with a Skill Development, Employment and Entrepreneurship cell in other State Government departments. The Uttarakhand Workforce Development Project (UKWDP) To improve the quality and relevance of training at priority Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and to increase the number of labor-market-relevant workers through short-term training in Uttarakhand, a project has been signed with World Bank on Uttarakhand Workforce Development. The Country Partnership Strategy of World Bank Group, India expresses that it will contribute to the 12th Five Year Plan target of providing skills training to 400 million workers by 2022. The project will contribute to these objectives by supporting Uttarakhand to strengthen the delivery of skills and training programs to produce higher-quality workers with relevant market skills and increasing access. This state-level skills development project would also play a strategic role in the World Bank’s engagement in the skills agenda at the national level. An in-depth experience and lessons from Uttarakhand would inform the national-level engagement and could also provide a demonstration effect. There would be close linkages and synergies between the proposed project and the national-level engagements. The Uttarakhand Workforce Development Project (UKWDP) has the following three components. Components 1 and 2 use a Result-based Financing (RBF) approach using Disbursement-linked Indicators (DLIs), and Component 3 uses traditional expenditure-based financing.
UNDP as a technical support agency UNDP will provide support to the Department of Skill Development and Employment (DSDE) and Uttarakhand Workforce Development Project (UKWDP) in hiring of team of professionals and provide capacity building support through trainings, workshops, exposure visits and Knowledge Management along with documentation of best practices. In context of above, UNDP is looking to hire a Senior Consultant (MIS and IT) to support the State Project Implementation Unit of UKWDP /Department of Skill Development and Employment in implementation of the project. The Senior Consultant (IT and MIS) would be placed with the SPIU of UKWDP, DSDE, Uttarakhand.
