LMH Overview

Founded by survivors of Liberia s civil war, Last Mile Health (LMH) (known in Liberia as Tiyatien Health) is committed to saving lives in the world s most remote villages.Working in remote communities cut off from even basic life-saving health services, LMH is building a health system that reaches everyone by bringing health care to villagers doorsteps. LMH trains community members to be health practitioners for their villages and connects them with rural health clinics to offer every person access to the care they deserve. These Frontline Health Workers are able to prevent, diagnose, and treat the top ten most life-threatening health conditions. LMH plans to leverage this experience to help the Liberian government design, deploy and sustain a national network of community health workers that can have a transformative impact on maternal and child health outcomes in remote communities.

Over the past year, the Ebola virus outbreak has devastated Liberia and has tragically demonstrated that weak, inequitable health systems leave everybody vulnerable.To match a historic crisis with a historic response, LMH has partnered with Boston-based Partners in Health (PIH) to launch a significant expansion of LMH s model, integrated with a package of Ebola treatment and hospital strengthening efforts led by PIH. The goal of this project is to deploy a comprehensive health system from life-saving essential primary care services in remote communities all the way to strong inpatient Ebola and tertiary care in regional hospitals for approximately 150,000 rural Liberians.

LMH is working with the Government of Liberia to rapidly achieve zero Ebola caseswhile restoring health services and rebuilding the health system. LMH is helping direct new sources of funding towards a major health system rebuilding effort that will strengthen community health systems, starting with an ambitious expansion of community health workers to serve every remote community in Liberia.

The IRC started work in Liberia in 1997 and has since been providing humanitarian relief, as well as post-conflict and development programming for women, youth, girls and boys in the country. While Liberia has achieved significant progress since the end of the civil war 10 years ago, the security, social and economic situation of most Liberians remain fragile.

Most recently, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa-unprecedented in scale and in the response required- has further challenged and exposed significant weaknesses in Liberia's recovering health care system.. The situation is complicated by the porous nature of the region's borders, inaccessibility of the terrain and the presence of multiple active sites of transmission across the region. The outbreak in Liberia started on 22nd March 2014 and over the country is still working towards achieving and maintaining "Ebola Free" status over a year later. The IRC response to the Ebola outbreak has included coordination and collaboration (, surveillance and contact tracing, support to facilities for infection prevention and control through health worker training and provision of supplies and adherence audits as well as social mobilization and psychosocial support . The IRC also set up a 100-bed treatment unit in Monrovia, the funding for which has been shifted towards the revitalization of health services at Redemption Hospital and its surrounding communities due to the evolving EVD context in Liberia.

State Project Manager, GoI-GEF-UNDP India High Range Landscape Project (HRML) - (Open to Indian Nationals only) - Munnar or Kottayam, Kerala

High Range Mountain Landscape (HRML) in the Western Ghats mountains of peninsular India is a globally significant biodiversity region. Its key attributes are: a) high levels of endemism and biological diversity; b) Important Bird Area; c) presence of globally threatened species of fauna and flora;  d) part of one of the five viable breeding centre of tiger in India; e) harbour the largest global population of Nilgiri tahr and a significant population of Grizzled Giant Squirrel (both threatened species); f) catchment of three major river systems of peninsular India; g) strong eco-cultural affinities; and h) support important economic sectors like cardamom, tea and tourism. At present, HRML is a complex mosaic of land uses where conservation, economic production and livelihood requirements assume equal primacy and profoundly influence each other.

Joint Programme Manager - East Jerusalem

UNDP and UN Women have developed the Joint Programme, Strengthening the Rule of Law in the oPt: Justice and Security for the Palestinian People (2014-2017), with the aim of developing and maintaining conditions for a viable Palestinian state based on the rule of law and principles of gender equality. The Joint Programme, building on the experiences of each organization, will work to enhance the capacities of, and public confidence in, rule of law institutions, and strengthen access to justice, security and protection services, especially for women and girls. Interventions are designed with a view to sustainability and linking activities to ‘system-level’ policy development.   The Joint Programme builds on the achievements and findings of predecessor programmes: the UNDP Rule of Law & Access to Justice Programme in the oPt (2010-2014), the UNDP/EUPOL COPPS Joint Programme (2012-2014), and the UN Women Programme on Support for Delivery of Security and Justice Services for Women (2011-2014).

The Joint Programme rests on a supply and demand equation that combines enhanced service delivery by resilient justice and security institutions with the public’s ability to access such services and hold duty-bearers to account. By increasing public confidence in the sector, support is designed to be catalytic, strengthening state-society relations and creating an enabling environment for development. Interventions are informed by a coherent theory of change and characterised by flexibility and responsiveness to institutional changes as a result of political developments.

The Joint Programme is oriented around the following seven mutually reinforcing interventions:

Capacity of justice and security institutions strengthened and linkages forged;Civil society contribution to rule of law and community access to justice in the West Bank enhanced;Civil society contribution to the rule of law and community access to justice in the Gaza Strip enhanced;Gender responsiveness of justice, security and legislative actors strengthened;Women and girls access to justice and security improved by ensuring accountable service provision to prevent, protect and respond to violence, and by addressing their broader legal needs;Juvenile justice and adherence to child rights improved;Capacity of key actors and stakeholders to monitor progress and results in rule of law development increased.

To coordinate the Joint Programme and facilitate the implementation of the portfolios of the participating UN agencies, UNDP and UN Women wish to recruit a Joint Programme Manager.  The Joint Programme Manager will provide overall coordination for the work of UNDP and UN Women under the programme and will ensure a harmonized approach between the agencies for the realization of the programme outcomes and outputs.  The Joint Programme Manager will also be responsible for monitoring of and reporting against all Joint Programme activities.

The Joint Programme Manager will act as Secretariat to the Programme Board, which is responsible for providing strategic directions to the Programme Manager and approving annual work plans for the programme. The Joint Programme Manager will be under the direct supervision of the UNDP Team Leader for Governance and the UN Women Programme Coordinator, also responsible for providing quarterly updates to both the UNDP and UN Women management on the implementation of the programme, ahead of Programme Board meetings.

Project Manager, Legal Empowerment, GoI- UNDP Project Access to Justice for Marginalized People (Open to Indian Nationals only) - New Delhi

Having made some progress towards reducing poverty and exclusion during the 11th Plan period, the 12th Plan aims to accelerate faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth. The Approach Paper to the Twelfth Five Year Plan points out that the “greater desire to access information about the rights and entitlements made available by law and policy, and eagerness to demand accountability from the public delivery systems augurs well for the future.”

UNDP has engaged in a partnership with the Department of Justice, Government of India, which began with a preparatory phase, Strengthened Access to Justice in India (SAJI) to carry out a justice sector diagnosis, identify entry points and support innovative small pilots to identify good initiatives for replication.  Based on lessons and results of the first phase and an extensive design mission, a four year project (2008-2012) was developed. The project ‘Access to Justice for Marginalized People’ was implemented in the UNDAF focus states of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh as well as at national level with key institutions. A new phase of the Access to Justice Project has been launched for a period of 5 years.

The Department of Justice is taking many other steps to ensure improved access to justice for the people. An access to justice project has recently been rolled out in the 8 States of North-East India and in J & K. In addition, the Department has introduced a slew of measures towards this end. The GoI is computerizing the courts and making them ICT enabled. This will allow the courts to move away from manual functioning to e-functioning and provide e-services to the people. It is also investing on judicial infrastructure. The Government has also initiated the Gram Nyayalaya scheme which supports the States to set up courts at the grassroot level with a view to take justice to the doorsteps of the people.

A key forward-looking initiative of the Department of Justice is the setting up of the National Mission for Justice Delivery and Legal Reforms with the twin objectives of a) Increasing access by reducing delays and arrears in the system, and b) Enhancing accountability through structural changes and by setting performance standards and capacities.

The Mission, which is chaired by the Hon’ble Union Minister of Law and Justice, has identified 5 strategic initiatives to achieve its goals:

Policy and Legislative Changes;Re-engineering Procedures & Alternate Methods of Dispute Resolution;Focus on Human Resource Development;Leveraging ICT for better Justice Delivery; andImproving Infrastructure.

The UNDP supported ‘Increasing Access to Justice for Marginalised People” Project (2013-2017) has two major components: Legal Empowerment (LEP) and embedded technical support for the National Mission on Justice Delivery and Legal Reforms (JDLR). The Project Manager will head the Project Management Team of the LEP component. S/he will work under the direct supervision of Project Coordinator and will report to the National Project Director (NPD) and Programme Officer, UNDP.
