Background UNDP provides integrated programmatic, policy and financing solutions to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, UNDP has created a 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. The Bureau for Policy and Program Support (BPPS) and the Crisis Bureau (CB) are the two anchor Bureau of the GPN. In this context, the newly established Governance, Rule of Law, and Peacebuilding (GRP) Hub, a joint endeavor with the Bureau for Policy and Program Support (BPPS) and the Crisis Bureau (CB), provides leadership and advisory services to enhance UNDP’s impact on governance and peacebuilding, ensuring the integration of democratic governance and human rights into crisis response and recovery. The Hub aims to build an integrated portfolio collaboratively between the CB and BPPS and establish partnerships with various stakeholders including the UN System, IFIs, civil society, and the private sector. The Hub’s functions involve providing leadership, advising on strategic positioning, managing global programs, developing GRP solutions, and leading crisis response and recovery support. They also focus on knowledge management and learning, establishing thematic and operational partnerships, and mobilizing resources. Thematic areas include peacebuilding, rule of law, local action, governance, human rights, and democratic institutions. Cross-cutting issues address digital transformation, data for SDG16+, and gender inclusion. The initiative aims to ensure that gender dimensions are systematically and measurably addressed in UNDP's GRP work.

The Procurement Analyst will support participant local and regional governments to improve their PPPs efficiency to align and deliver on Agenda 2030 and will facilitate learning and knowledge generation among municipalities and UNDP country offices around the world.
