UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

Background

UNDP was requested by the DG/ECD (Myanmar GCF Nationally Designated Authority, NDA) to prepare a submission to the GCF for a project to implement REDD+.

In late 2018 the GCF opened a new funding window for a pilot period: the “Simplified Approval Process” (SAP). SAP submissions can be for all-grant financing. Conditions to be satisfied for SAP submissions include a funding request to the GCF of less than USD 10 million; and a project with no social or environmental risks.

UNDP will therefore prepare a SAP submission with the following features:

A “sustainable landscape” approach, working in a landscape with significant rubber production, in Mawlamyaing District, Mon State.
As large-scale agribusiness concessions are not common in Mawlamyaing District, there will be a focus on community forests.

To ensure compliance with the “no social or environmental risks” condition, a major emphasis on Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) will be required early in 2019, with provisions to support FPIC throughout the process of project development.
