Intern supply chain Jobs in Lancy

BACKGROUND

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, and build resilience so countries can sustain progress. As the UN's development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

To respond effectively to complex development challenges, partnership is at the heart of everything UNDP does. In the organization, the Bureau for External Relations and Advocacy (BERA) leads and supports UNDP in cultivating, building and nurturing strategic relationships and alliances with Member States, UN sister agencies, private sector and civil society, that are essential for successfully achieving its mission of advancing the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion.

The UNDP Geneva Representation Office (GRO) is an integrated partnerships office, led by BERA, working across programmatic and representational functions. It contributes to UNDP's mission by engaging and forging partnerships with a wide range of partners in Geneva and across Europe to support the attainment of the SDGs. In addition to leading donor relations with Switzerland and France and contributing to intergovernmental processes with Member States' Permanent Missions, the Office has a specific responsibility for the development of partnerships with UN sister agencies and other international organisations headquartered in Geneva, as well as with the private sector, in particular the finance community.

In addition, through relevant coverage and participation in intergovernmental and UN agency debates, the Office provides intelligence to UNDP's senior management to help shape corporate positioning and UNDP engagement strategies on specific thematic areas, such as inequality, nature and climate, crisis prevention and response, or financing for development. Furthermore, it also tracks trends and opportunities in the external political environment that may affect UNDP's mandate, for instance in the areas of innovation for development or private sector engagement for the SDGs.
