Historique
UNDP works at the local level across thematic areas, including biodiversity and ecosystem services, land, water, energy, community-based adaptation (CBA) to climate change, and reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (UN-REDD Programme). Activities are guided by four Strategic Priorities:- Promote Rights, Access, and Finance Mechanisms: Strengthen institutional, policy, and legal frameworks to broaden local access to environment and energy resources and services, and to enable finances to flow to the local level.
- Enhance Environmental Management and Finance Capacity: Enhance the capacity of local actors to access environmental finance and plan, implement and monitor environment and energy programmes, enterprises and service delivery.
- Facilitate Learning and Knowledge-Sharing: Promote peer-to-peer learning, knowledge-sharing, and documentation of best practices to make local action more effective, sustainable, and replicable.
- Strengthen Community Voices in Policy Processes: Ensure that local actors are positioned to advocate for their rights and entitlements related to environment and energy in national and international fora.
UNDP carries out several strategic roles in order to achieve these Strategic Priorities:
- Local-National Link: Link capacity building and empowerment of local actors with action to strengthen the enabling environment through appropriate national and international policies.
- Convener: Convene multiple stakeholders to coordinate support for local action
- Funding Facilitator: Establish long-term funding facilities that support local action.
- Capacity Builder: Build capacity and provide support services to enable the scaling up of documented best practices and innovations.
- Communicator: Demonstrate the positive social, economic, and environmental contributions to sustainable development made by local communities and the rural poor, emphasizing the interdependency of these contributions.
It is expected that the audience will also include high level representatives, numbering between 350 – 500 people.
UNDP seeks the support of a consultant to support the design, organization and implementation of major UNDP event(s) at the Rio+20 Conference to be held June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
