Millennium Development Goals

At the United Nations Millennium Summit, world leaders put development
at
the heart of the global agenda with the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), setting clear targets for reducing poverty, disease, hunger,
illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women
by
2015. On the ground in virtually every developing country, UNDP uses
its
global network to help the UN system and our partners raise awareness
and
track progress, while we connect countries to the knowledge and
resources
they need to achieve these goals. Democratic Governance More countries
than ever before are working to build democratic governance. Their
challenge is to develop institutions and processes that are more
responsive to the needs of ordinary citizens, including the poor. UNDP
brings people together within nations and around the world, building
partnerships and sharing ways to promote participation, accountability
and
effectiveness at all levels. We help countries strengthen their
electoral
and legislative systems, improve access to justice and public
administration, and develop a greater capacity to deliver basic
services
to those most in need.

Poverty Reduction

Through the Millennium Development Goals, the world is addressing the
many
dimensions of human development, including the halving by 2015 of the
proportion of people living in extreme poverty. Developing countries
are
working to create their own national poverty eradication strategies
based
on local needs and priorities. UNDP advocates for these nationally
owned
solutions and helps ensure their effectiveness. We sponsor innovative
pilot projects; connect countries to global best practices and
resources;
promote the role of women in development; and bring governments, civil
society and outside founders together to coordinate their efforts.

Energy and Environment Energy and environment are essential for
sustainable development. The poor are disproportionately affected by
environmental degradation and lack of access to clean affordable energy
services. These issues are also global as climate change, loss of
biodiversity and ozone layer depletion cannot be addressed by countries
acting alone. UNDP helps countries strengthen their capacity to address
these challenges at global, national and community levels, seeking out
and
sharing best practices, providing innovative policy advice and linking
partners through pilot projects that help poor people build sustainable
livelihoods.

5. Regional Technical Adviser For Biodiversity For Asia and the
Pacific
Locations: Bangkok, THAILAND
Salary: $ 175,000.00
Duration: Full time
Crisis Prevention and Recovery

Many countries are increasingly vulnerable to violent conflicts or
natural
disasters that can erase decades of development and further entrench
poverty and inequality. Through its global network, UNDP seeks out and
shares innovative approaches to crisis prevention, early warning and
conflict resolution. And UNDP is on the ground in almost every
developing
country -- so wherever the next crisis occurs, we will be there to help
bridge the gap between emergency relief and long-term development.

6. Peace and Development Adviser
Location; South-Africa/CHAD
Salary; $ 174,000.00

HIV/AIDS

To prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and reduce its impact, developing
countries need to mobilize all levels of government and civil society.
As
a trusted development partner, UNDP advocates for placing HIV/AIDS at
the
center of national planning and budgets; helps build national capacity
to
manage initiatives that include people and institutions not usually
involved with public heath; and promotes decentralized responses that
support community-level action. Because HIV/AIDS is a worldwide
problem,
UNDP supports these national efforts by offering knowledge, resources
and
best practices from around the world.
