Background
  Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP:  we value
diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we
operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to
contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions.
Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means
increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as
belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to
apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring
stories.
  UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment,
including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will,
therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
  Job Purpose and Organizational Context
UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the
UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to
realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out
at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep
local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this
context, UNDP invests in the 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. 

Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the
responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the
results of UNDP’s Strategic Plan.  BPPS’s staff provides technical advice to
Country Offices, advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at
multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government, and civil
society dialogues, and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific
thematic areas. BPPS works closely with UNDP’s Crisis Bureau (CB) to support
emergency and crisis response.  BPPS ensures that issues of risk are fully
integrated into UNDP’s development programmes. BPPS assists UNDP and partners to
achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that
links results-based management and performance monitoring with more effective
and new ways of working.  BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative,
knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts.

BPPS’s Hubs on Nature, Climate, Energy, and Chemicals and Waste, works with
governments, civil society, and private sector partners to integrate nature,
climate, energy and waste related concerns into national and sector planning and
inclusive growth policies, support country obligations under Multilateral
Environmental Agreements, and oversee the implementation of the UN’s largest
portfolio of in-country programming nature, climate change, energy and waste.

The position will be located in the Chemicals and Waste Hub. Sound chemical and
waste management could eliminate the hazardous chemicals and waste from the key
value chains, facilitate the transition to sustainable production and
consumption patterns towards circularity. Chemicals and Waste Hub has
specialized technical and policy advisory teams in New York, Istanbul, Bangkok,
Addis, Aman, and Panama to support clients' countries through UNDP regional hubs
and country offices to put in place the right mix of regulatory and financial
incentives, remove institutional and policy barriers, and create enabling
environments that attract and drive public and private sector investment into
sustainable development. In doing this, the Chemicals and Waste Hub assists
partner countries to access, combine, and sequence resources from a range of
funds, financial instruments, and mechanisms. In recent years, UNDP chemical and
waste team received many requests from client countries to advise the policy and
programs on circular economy. Internal and external demands for policy advice,
knowledge sharing, and program development support on this direction is high.

UNDP chemical and waste hub is seeking a Senior Policy and Programme Advisor on
