The Bratislava Regional Centre provides advisory support and knowledge management services to UNDP Country Offices in the ECIS region in the areas of Poverty Reduction, Governance, Environment and Energy, Capacity Development, Gender, HIV/AIDS and Crisis Prevention and Recovery. In addition, the centre supports the programme development of these offices at the national level. The UN programming instrument for UN cooperation on development issues is the UN Common Country Programming Process (resulting in the key documents of CCA/UNDAF). Based on these UN-level document, UNDP’s programming document (contributing to the UNDAF) is the Country Programme Document and the Country Programme Action Plan. Often-times they are supported by a Country Analysis document. It is essential to ensure that these documents are strategic, measurable, reflect demand and rely on analysis. The Programme Strategy Development Expert is expected to develop all or any of these programming documents in consultation and cooperation with the UNDP country office and partners as appropriate. UNDP is soliciting the submission of CVs (individuals, not firms) to be considered for registration in the Programme Strategy Development Expert roster of UNDP BRC.
