Background 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, foster inclusion as a way to ensure all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. We take a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts, increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation, abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
UNDP is the leading United Nations organization fighting to tackle the injustices of poverty, inequality, and climate change on a global scale. Working with our broad network of experts, host governments and partners in 170 countries, we help nations build integrated, lasting solutions for people and planet. UNDP has been working in Afghanistan for more than 50 years on climate change and resilience, gender, governance, health, livelihoods, and rule of law. Following the power shift in August 2021, the situation for the country remains largely uncertain and fragile, with approximately 75% of the population estimated to be subsistence insecure. International assistance has played a vital role in averting a socioeconomic collapse. The humanitarian challenge in Afghanistan is one of the biggest in the world, with basic human needs and priorities remaining extremely high. The ABADEI is an integrated approach to support basic human needs, complementing short‑term humanitarian life‑saving assistance with safeguarding livelihoods and strengthening community resilience. It is centered around addressing worsening poverty and vulnerability, supporting community resilience and social cohesion, addressing climatic vulnerability, and enabling the rehabilitation of small‑scale infrastructure vital for basic human needs. It supports the creation of immediate sources of income through vocational skills training, cash‑for‑work, cash for the market, small businesses, and livelihood opportunities with a particular focus on agri‑business and regenerative agriculture infrastructure and services (critical for food security). It is sensitive to the chronic and newly emerging vulnerabilities of Afghan women and girls and aims to provide them assistance in a manner that does not exacerbate their susceptibility to violence and deprivation of opportunities and rights.
