Mission and objectives
UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan. Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. BPPS’s staff provides technical advice to Country Offices; advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas. BPPS works closely with UNDP’s Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. BPPS ensures that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP’s development programmes. BPPS assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working. BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts The Governance team in BPPS is responsible for supporting UNDP’s work on Governance across the organization including on anti-corruption, legal identity, inclusive political processes, parliamentary development, elections, SDG 16 implementation and monitoring, local development, youth empowerme
Context
Major investment is needed to strengthen public sector capabilities to unlock accelerated delivery of the SDGs. As the world becomes increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, public institutions can no longer do business as usual. Governments must be equipped to anticipate development risks and effectively adapt and transform their public sectors for sustainable, inclusive development that speaks to the aspirations of their people. As we look to the future, gaps in public sector capabilities present an acute obstacle to the achievement of the SDGs – member states must adopt a renewed sense of purpose and urgency towards public sector transformation. In order to enable this, the FutureGov Facility will provide technical assistance, channel resources, facilitate intergovernmental learning, and serve as a knowledge platform – enabling member states. This facility is therefore looking for an online volunteer who can support to develop a list of existing knowledge products.
Task description
Task 1: Identify the relevant guidance and publications of the topic related to the public sector innovation and transformation Task 2: Develop a user-friendly list of those knowledge products with links to each publication
