Historique

CORPORATE BACKGROUND
UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We help countries develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience to sustain development results.
UNDP is strengthening new frameworks for development, disaster risk reduction, and climate
change. We support countries' efforts to achieve the new Sustainable Development Goals,
guiding global development priorities through 2030. The fundamental 2030 Agenda principle of leaving no one behind and stamping out inequality is at the core of everything we do.
UNDP focuses on helping countries build and share solutions in three main areas:

Sustainable development
Democratic governance and peacebuilding
Climate and disaster resilience

In all our activities, we encourage the protection of human rights and the empowerment of
women, minorities, and the poorest and most vulnerable.

INTERNSHIP OFFICE BACKGROUND
The Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) was established on 22 May 1964 by the four countries bordering Lake Chad: Cameroon, Niger, Nigeria, and Chad. The mandates of the Commission include the management of Lake Chad and its shared water resources, preservation of the
ecosystems, and promotion of regional integration, peace, security, and development in the Lake Chad Region.
In 2018, the Lake Chad Basin Commission, with support from the African Union and UNDP, the LCBC launched a Regional Strategy for the Stabilization, Recovery, and Resilience (RSS) for the Lake Chad Basin regions affected by the Boko Haram crisis: Cameroon (The Far North and North Region), Niger (Diffa Region), Nigeria: Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States) and Chad (Lac and Hajder-Lamis Provinces.
The RSS 'seeks to establish a common approach and an inclusive framework for all stakeholders to support a timely, coordinated, and effective transition from stabilization to early recovery and the resumption of stalled development processes' (LCBC, 2018).
The Lake Chad Basin Commission RSS Secretariat coordinates the implementation of the RSS and ensures coordination of humanitarian, development, and peace actors working in the LCB region. A critical part of RSS implementation is the Knowledge Management Platform (KMP),
envisaged as a high-quality web-based resource for policymakers, practitioners, and civil society. The KMP will serve four purposes: (1) as the go-to source for news and information on all aspects of the stabilization, recovery, and development effort around Lake Chad; (2) as a space
for networking and interaction of the practice community; (3) as a dynamic tool for improved coordination and crisis response; (4) as a repository for policy documents, strategies, action plans, assessment reports, lessons learned, and good regional and global practices.
To support the management of the day-to-day sourcing, update, and sharing of data and information, the LCBC/RSS Secretariat is seeking to recruit a Knowledge Management intern to support the overall management of the platform.
