Job Title: Consultancy for UNDAF III and DAO Roll-Out In Nigeria
Location: Abuja, NIGERIA
Organisation: United Nations Development Programme – UNDP Nigeria
The Assignment:
The UNCT Nigeria has agreed, in principle, to become a self-starter DaO Country by January 2014. In order to translate the UNCT vision into action, the development of UNDAF III is a critical spring board for robust inter-agency work and joint programming. Although the UNCT through PMT has initiated steps toward the realization of this vision, experience from other countries indicates that, the process would require solid technical support for the initial UNDAF/P planning, development and implementation phase. The Country Team is required to apply the five programming principles (human rights-based approach, gender equality, environmental sustainability, result-based management and capacity development), which are intended to strengthen the quality and focus of UN responses to national priorities based on the UN system's common values and standards. These programming principles constitute a starting point and guide for the country analysis, as well as for all stages of the UNDAF/P formulation, including results planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The UNCT is therefore seeking a seasoned DaO and UNDAF/P international Consultant(s) with proven experience in UNDAF/P and strategic planning for UN coherence on a retainer basis to support the entire process in Nigeria. The Consultants will come in, on "as-and-when required basis" until the UNDAF/P is completed and UN Coherence progressively enhanced and takes off in Nigeria.
Required Skills and Experience
• A minimum of 15 years' professional experience in the international development field;
• Doctoral/advanced Degree in Economics, Development Economics, Education or Social Science.
