About the job
Job Description
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’s HIV and Health Group (HHG) works to reduce inequalities and social exclusion that drive HIV and poor health as well as promoting effective and inclusive governance for health. Globally and across Africa, this includes work with young key populations disproportionately affected by HIV (YKP) as well as sexual and gender minorities (LGBTI+ populations), recognizing that stigma, discrimination and exclusion undermine both human rights and public health.
