Вакансія: Monitoring and Evaluation Analyst, NPSA8 (Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipro)
ЗАВЕРШЕНО
Background
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 neighboring 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 projections indicate that if the war should continue in the medium to long term, up to 90% of the Ukrainian population could face poverty and extreme economic vulnerability, and the country’s socio-economic progress could be set-back by almost 20 years. In the short-term, 62% of the population is at high risk of falling into poverty. Ukraine’s economy is set to shrink by 45% this year due to the war and even with a moderate recovery in the next few years, by 2025 the GDP would still only be two-thirds of the pre-war GDP in 2021.
In addition, the country faces losses of many people’s lives and devastative destruction of infrastructures and economic bases. Currently, more than 50% of the energy infrastructure damaged, causing the massive disruption of energy supply nationwide with millions of people experiencing power outages and challenges in heating. Extensive scale of destruction of infrastructure, rehabilitating or constructing infrastructures and installing equipment with necessary supply of the materials is urgently required to restore or maintain life-line and key basic services, followed by removal or mines and explosives as well as debris.
To preserve development gains in Ukraine as fully as possible, mitigating risks of descent into protracted crisis, embedding activities for early recovery from the onset of the humanitarian effort, and facilitating swift return to pathways and processes for national attainment of the SDGs, UNDP Ukraine has developed the UNDP Recovery Programme.
To address the urgent needs on the ground in consultation with beneficiaries and stakeholders, UNDP is implementing an area-based programme and strengthening its sub-national presence by establishing area hubs (offices) Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Odesa.
The M&E Analyst will be an integral part of the UNDP Area Hub team. In close cooperation with the Area Hub Manager and under the direct supervision of Strategic Planning, Partnerships and RBM unit in the Country Office, the incumbent will support UNDP to ensure quality and timely data collection, monitoring of the results, and reporting in support of evidence-based programme planning and implementation.
The incumbent will accelerate gender equality and women’s empowerment with all implementations and promote UNDP’s mandate as a gender-responsive organization with zero tolerance for any kind of discriminatory and abusive behaviour, including sexual harassment, sexual exploitation and abuse.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.
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.
