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 countries can sustain progress. As the development arm of the United Nations, UNDP supports strategic capacity development initiatives to promote inclusive growth and sustainable human development. Through partnerships with national, regional, and local governments, civil society, and the private sector, UNDP strives to support Ukraine in its efforts to eliminate poverty, develop people’s capacity, achieve equitable results, sustain the environment, and advance democratic governance. It does so through work on three pillars:

• Governance reform
• Environmental and energy policy reform for innovative green and clean economic growth
• Recovery and stabilization in the war-affected areas.

Today Ukraine is facing its most serious challenges since achieving independence in 1991. The ongoing war has already resulted in significant loss of life, unprecedented displacement, internally and towards neighbouring countries, and devastating destruction of infrastructure. The UN Ukraine Flash Appeal shows that at least 15.7 million people are in immediate need of emergency assistance and protection. Early UNDP projections suggest that if the war deepens and expands, up to 90 percent of the population of Ukraine could be facing poverty and vulnerability to poverty by the end of 2022, and 30 percent of the population are likely to require life-saving humanitarian assistance. 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 to achieving the SDGs as quickly as possible.

UNDP has been active and present in eastern Ukraine for the past decade, prior to the conflict which started in 2014, focusing on community mobilisation, civil society development, and environmental protection. Work on addressing the specific conflict-related development challenges built on this earlier engagement, established partnerships, and started in 2015 through the United Nations Recovery and Peacebuilding Programme (UN RPP). The UN RPP is a multi-donor funded framework programme formulated and led by the UNDP in collaboration with the Government of Ukraine and in cooperation with a number of partnering UN agencies (UN Women, FAO, UNFPA).

UN RPP’s interventions are grouped under the following key Programme components, which reflect women’s and men’s priority needs in the region:

Component 1: Economic Recovery and Restoration of Critical Infrastructure Component 2: Local Governance and Decentralisation Reform Component 3: Community Security and Social Cohesion

In October 2018, UNDP signed an agreement for a multi-year project under the EU Support to the East of Ukraine Programme. In 2021, the EU-funded project was amended to extend its scope through the EU4Resilient Regions Programme. It has recently been amended to ensure that the approach implemented under UN RPP can help address the devastation and increased needs of the civilian population as a result of the ongoing war, and where it will be required.

UNDP Ukraine invites applications from highly qualified and experienced Ukrainian professionals for the post of the Communications Associate.
