UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. 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. Background The Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region covers a vast geographic area that is diverse in terms of ethnic, religious and cultural makeup. It consists of 18 countries and territories in Central Asia, South Caucasus, Western Balkans, Eastern Europe and Turkey, many of which (re)emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. Although the region has achieved middle-income status and relatively high levels of human development, persistent challenges to sustainable peace, effective and inclusive governance, and human rights remain. Challenges to sustainable peace include active and protracted conflicts, violent extremism, lack of social cohesion based on identity divides, persistent polarization, repressive and discriminatory practices of duty bearers, elite capture and political exclusion, weak rule of law and national human rights protection systems, among others. The ECA region features prominently in the mosaic of global human mobility, acting as a source, destination, and transit pathway for regular and irregular migration and forcefully displaced populations. The drivers of migration and displacement are multiple and complex, ranging from economic and social to conflict-related and political. The scope of human mobility has also increased significantly over the recent years. Out of over 250 million of people, at least 10 percent are emigrants. People leave their homes for many reasons, ranging from economic and social to conflict-related and political. While many go to Europe, 80 percent of migrants in the ECA actually choose to move within the region itself, with Turkey, Kazakhstan and Russia being main destinations. The region is also experiencing the highest share of remittances as proportion of GDP, reaching a historic high in 2021 of US$74 billion. As part of its mandate, UNDP works for a world where migration is a choice, a migrant’s journey is safe and legal, and human mobility is an opportunity for sustainable development. Our key priorities include: (i) mainstreaming human mobility into national and local development policies, (ii) protecting human rights and mitigating the adverse drivers of irregular migration and forced displacement, (iii) harnessing the contribution of diasporas and remittances in countries of origin, (iv) fostering socio-economic (re)integration and (v) promoting social cohesion and prevention approach. Framed by UNDP’s Strategic Plan 2022-2025, UNDP’s work on human mobility has been expanding in response to country/regional demands and situations. UNDP has a long-standing tradition of supporting human mobility interventions in the Europe and Central Asia region. Up to date, this includes over 25 ongoing or planned projects, with an estimated budget of over USD 180 million and spanning across 10 countries and significant synergies with projects in related areas. The Governance and Peacebuilding (GPB) Team of UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub, covering ECIS region, provides advisory services to the countries in the areas of governance, anti-corruption, public sector transformation, digitalization, human rights, security, rule of law, human mobility, conflict prevention, and peacebuilding. As part of its human mobility support, it works to build resilient host and home communities, empower migrants and displaced people, build social cohesion, strengthen the capacities of national and local authorities, raise their awareness, mainstream human mobility at policy and institutional levels, offer evidence-based analysis and facilitate sharing of experience on implementation of human mobility related programming. The intern is expected to support Governance and Peacebuilding (GPB) cluster, and specifically the Governance and Peacebuilding Team Leader, in coordination with the Regional Human Mobility Specialist, in the planning and implementation of existing policy and programmatic work and support functions in the region.
