Antecedentes

UNDP Namibia, Country Office (CO) is re-focusing its efforts to support innovation, knowledge management and an evidence-based approach to enhance UNDP’s leadership as a thought leader in sustainable human development. In order to respond effectively to the corporate UNDP Strategic Plan 2018-2021, the UNPAF and UNDP Country programme Document 2018-2023, and the fifth Namibia National Development Plan priorities, the CO, seeks to enhance development effectiveness by improving systems, tools and mechanisms for national policy and strategy planning, analysis, monitoring, evaluation and reporting of development priorities. Timely availability of credible data is critical to buffer the upstream engagement of UNDP. In this context the CO proposes to set up a robust data base, in line with the objectives of the Namibia Statistics Agency to coordinate, collate and disseminate up to date and credible information on the social economic and environmental indicators in the country. For this purpose, UNDP seeks the services of a SDG Data and Information Management Analyst to support the NSA to strengthen its coordination function and also work actively to support data management in UNDP (CPD 2018 – 2023) and United Nations Partnership Assistance Framework (UNPAF) (2018 – 2023).

UNDP Namibia proposes to leverage TRAC2 funds/resources to support the NSA on the above as part of a joint UN programme. The support programme will ensure strengthened coordination amongst stakeholders and reduce fragmentation and duplication in data collection and lead to an up to date national data management system for tracking the implementation of the SDGs.
