The UNDP-GEF Unit is based in the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) and is responsible for providing leadership, technical support and implementation oversight to the delivery of the Environment and Sustainable Development pillar of UNDP’s Strategic Plan.

Under the overall supervision of the UNDP-GEF (Global Environment Fund) Regional Technical Advisors (RTAs) and direct coordination and guidance of the corresponding Regional Team Leaders (RTL), the Regional Programme Support Consultant will facilitate the effective delivery of the GEF portfolio in the corresponding region and technical focal area by providing support and oversight throughout the development, implementation, monitoring/evaluation and closure of UNDP-GEF projects. This includes effective portfolio data management and monitoring to maximize COs' timely compliance with UNDP and GEF requirements. The consultancy demands the ability to meet deadlines and maintain high-quality outputs while working under pressure, as well as, practical experience with relevant databases and an understanding of the UNDP-GEF Project Cycle. The Programme Support Consultants will be home-based and will work under the overall supervision of the UNDP-GEF Regional Team Leader and/or Regional Technical Advisors covering one of the following regions: Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and CIS, Arab States, Asia Pacific, Africa, or HQs.
