Historique

UNDP strives to have a workforce which reflects diversity and gender balance and applies an equal opportunities approach. All selections are on merit. Qualified Women candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Background : The year 2020 marked the beginning of a Decade of Action towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But with the COVID-19 pandemic, the global context for development has fundamentally changed. The world faces the greatest socio-economic shock in a generation, coming at a time of acute inequality, ecological fragility and growing distrust within and amongst societies. As a global pandemic that threatens to profoundly deepen inequalities and undo progress on sustainable development and humanitarian responses more broadly, COVID-19 is already devastating individuals, families, communities, economies and infrastructure. An urgent response to tackle the pandemic, at commensurate speed and scale in line with the integrated logic of the SDGs, is vital.

UNDP response across the countries are framed around three objectives; 1) Prepare - UNDP will support countries to strengthen their health systems, including by helping them procure much-needed medical supplies, quickly leverage digital technologies and ensure health workers are paid. 2) Respond - UNDP will help countries work across key sectors to slow the spread of the virus and to provide social protection for vulnerable populations, promoting a whole-of-government and whole-of society approach. 3) Recovery - UNDP will support countries to assess the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 and take urgent recovery measures to minimize long-term impact, particularly for vulnerable and marginalized groups, and to help societies to recover.

Given the evolving nature of the crisis and response in India, UNDP India will focus on providing support to strengthen the Government’s response at national and state level, starting with immediate relief measures,followed by addressing resilience of Government and community systems, and ensuring that progress towards achieving the SDGs maintains traction. This will include support to national and selected state governments for effective and efficient delivery of health services to prevent and contain the spread of COVID-19 and facilitate access to and uptake of social protection for mitigating/cushioning the social and economic impact.
