Вакансія: Driver / Clerk, NPSA4, ds-Dnipro
ЗАВЕРШЕНО
Background
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, and build resilience so that countries can sustain progress. As the United Nations’ development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In Ukraine, UNDP operates in five programmatic areas of support: government capacities for crisis response and management; sustaining provision of public services; emergency works facilitating return and reconstruction; incomes, livelihoods and the private sector response; and civil society and maintenance of the social fabric.
The war in Ukraine has already resulted in significant loss of life; unprecedented displacement, internally and towards neighboring countries; and devastating destruction of infrastructure. Eighteen years of socio-economic achievements in Ukraine are at risk. UNDP’s core engagement is to preserve development gains as fully as possible, and to return Ukraine to pathways towards achieving the SDGs as quickly as possible.
UNDP launched its Resilience Building and Recovery (RBR) framework for Ukraine on 11 April 2022 to immediately respond to the development and humanitarian challenges. The overall objective is to preserve development gains in Ukraine, mitigating risks of descent into a governance and service delivery crisis, embedding activities for recovery from the onset of the humanitarian effort, and facilitating a swift return to development pathways and processes for national attainment of the SDGs.
The United Nations Recovery and Peacebuilding Programme (UN RPP) is an integral part of UNDP’s offer via the RBR framework. The UN RPP has addressed priority needs in the east of Ukraine arising since the outbreak of the armed conflict in spring 2014. The Programme supports the economic recovery of war-torn communities, further accelerating the decentralization and health-care reforms in these regions, and strengthening community security and social cohesion in target communities. Although the UN RPP was initially designed to respond to and mitigate the causes and effects of the armed conflict in east of Ukraine, after the large-scale Russian invasion began on 24 February 2022, the Programme expanded its activities to the most war-affected oblasts of Ukraine, located primarily in the east and south of Ukraine.
Based on previous experience and to support the strengthened resilience and early recovery of war-affected communities in the selected target areas of Ukraine, UNDP and the European Union, a long-term partner (including for UNDP’s programme in the east), have in parallel launched the “EU4Recovery – Empowering Communities in Ukraine” (EU4Recovery) project, which will ensure a multiplier effect by further expanding key interventions mentioned above. EU4Recovery interventions are grouped under the following key objectives:
Target communities have increased access to quality public services that respond to the needs of all population groups, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable.
Community security is enhanced, and the social fabric is maintained in project target areas.
EU4Recovery is being implemented via an area-based approach, whereby the synergies to be extracted from a multi-sectoral approach have maximum impact on the lives of individuals at community level.
