Re-advertisement - UNDAF Outcome 2 Coordinator - (Open to Nepalese Nationals Only) - Kathmandu

Applicants who previously applied need not re-apply.

The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) for Nepal and the Government of Nepal signed in September 2012 the UN’s Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for the period 2013-17. This UNDAF is the strategic framework for the UN’s work in Nepal in the coming five years. Prior to the preparation of the UNDAF, the UNCT prepared a country analysis based on the different types of vulnerabilities that Nepalis’ face as well as the root-causes for these vulnerabilities. They range from patriarchal values and beliefs, to unequal access to economic resources, lack of representation in political bodies, remoteness and a lack of access to markets. The UNDAF itself focuses on initiatives required to address these systemic issues.

The UNDAF has eight main outcome areas – five that deal with advancing the development process, three that deal with the need to protect development gains threatened by natural and man-made hazards, and one that deals with facilitation of Nepal’s international cooperation.

Outcome 2 particularly deals with the key constraints and challenges relating to employment-centric and inclusive growth. UNCT initiatives will attempt to mainly address the challenges with respect to limited availability of productive employment and income opportunities, inadequate access to productive assets, and insufficient social protection.  Building on its comparative advantages and in line with government priorities, the UNCT will contribute to the efforts of the GON and relevant stakeholders to achieve significant results in terms of improved economic opportunities in the country, safe and profitable migration, and adequate social protection during the UNDAF cycle. Particular emphasis will be given to the vulnerable groups identified in the country analysis.   FAO, ILO, IOM, UN Women, UNESCO, UNDP, UNCDF and WFP are the major agencies responsible to coordinate, plan and implement activities in order to achieve the expected results. MOLE, MOALD, MOWCSC, MOC, NPC, MOI, MOFSC, Rastra Bank and MOPR are the major counterpart Government Agencies for Outcome 2. UN Agencies will also develop partnership with other relevant non-government stakeholders of employment and social protection.

The Outcome Coordinator will be one of seven outcome coordinators that will support the implementation of the UNDAF. Because the areas of work and the activities covered under a given outcome do not fall squarely within the mandate of any one UN agency, the outcome coordinators will work across agencies to support coherent and complementary implementation of outcome-related activities and to ensure consistent and well-documented reporting on the results achieved under each outcome. Each outcome coordinator will be based within the UN agency that has agreed to be the lead agency for that outcome and will report to the head of the lead UN agency. The outcome coordinator will also have a secondary reporting line to the head of the UN’s Resident Coordinator’s Office. For Outcome 2, the lead agency is ILO.
