Спеціаліст/ка зі звітності (ПРООН) / Reporting Officer (UNDP)

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 neighbouring 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.

Drawing from past experiences and aiming to bolster the resilience and recovery of communities affected by war in target areas of Ukraine, UNDP in Ukraine, together with its longstanding partner, the European Union, has launched the «EU4Recovery — Empowering Communities in Ukraine» (EU4Recovery) project. 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 and is an integral part of the UNDP’s Inclusive Development, Recovery and Peacebuilding (IDRPB) portfolio.

Requirements for candidates:

• 3 years of experience in media, communications, external and donor relations, policy advocacy, or copywriting.
• Experience working in the UN or other international development or humanitarian organizations will be an advantage.
• The incumbent must be a dynamic, multi-functional person, who supports UNDP with professionalism, dedication and client orientation, and who must be willing both to work on programmatic/substantive aspects and reporting. The following qualifications are required:

• Culturally and socially sensitive; ability to work inclusively and collaboratively with a range of partners, including grassroots community members and local authorities.
• Ability to work and adapt professionally and effectively in a challenging environment; ability to work effectively in a multicultural team.
• Ability to perform duties under stress and in insecure, isolated and potentially hostile environments.
