PROGRAMME ANALYST
UNDP Environment and Energy Group (EEG) is based in UNDP’s Bureau of Development Policy and is responsible for providing leadership and technical support for delivery of the Environment and Sustainable Development pillar of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. Its main focus is to help countries develop the capacity to fully incorporate environmental sustainability into development at national and local, but also global and regional, levels. The principal areas of work are in environmental mainstreaming, environmental finance, adaptation to climate change, and local governance of resources, including energy. With its technical focus, the Environment and Energy Group (EEG) is organized into substantive technical teams to provide support to countries in the area of climate change through different initiatives. Within the Green Low-emission and Climate-resilient Development Strategies (Green LECRDS) Team, one such initiative is the Climate Change Capacity Building Programme, funded by the European Union (EU) and the German Government. The programme will be carried out in 15 countries and has two overall objectives: 1. to build public sector capacity on developing greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory systems, nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs), low-emissions development strategies (LEDS), and monitoring, verification, and reporting (MRV) procedures; and 2. to build private sector capacity for mitigation actions in selected sectors (i.e. cement, iron and steel, petrochemicals, fertilizers). The programme will follow a country-driven, multi-stakeholder approach and will be carried out through a collaborative effort between UNDP, EU, and the German Government. It will build on various experiences already developed by UNDP and the EU such as the National Communications Support Programme, the European Commission’s study on monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, policies, and measures in developing countries, the UNDP Territorial Approach to Climate Change program, and the UN-REDD Programme, among others. Additionally, UNDP will seek to assist other countries not included in the EU-UNDP Programme that are interested in developing Green low-emissions, climate resilience development strategies (Green LECRDS), upon request by national governments. This assistance will be provided to countries that are planning to initiate a discussion process on how climate change actions can be developed and implemented in the context of national priorities. Seed funding will be provided to prepare these initiatives that will serve as the basis to initiate discussions on low-emission policies to assist national or sub-national government put forward a climate change agenda that can more effectively contribute to their sustainable economic development goals. In this context, UNDP is looking for a Programme Analyst who will work in close collaboration with the Programme Manager, Technical Specialists and Country Offices to support smooth project implementation, timely Programme reporting to the EC and other donors, Knowledge Management and Communication, and general overview of project operations. The Programme Analyst will be based in New York and is expected to have general programme knowledge. She/he will be responsible for collaborating with the Programme Manager and Technical Specialist to provide substantive support, operational guidance, and professional communication strategies.
