Project Clerk

**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 partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in 177 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations. UNDP has been present in Indonesia for over 35 years, carrying out its mission to share technical expertise to assure inclusive growth, better services, environmental sustainability and good governance leading to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP is helping the country to develop policies, leadership skills, partnership abilities, institutional capabilities, and build resilience.

The "Umbrella Programme to Support NBSAP Update and the 7th National Reports" is a multi-country initiative aimed at aligning national biodiversity strategies and action plans (NBSAPs) with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The programme addresses the urgent need to mitigate biodiversity loss and degradation of ecosystems by equipping countries with the tools and capacity to fulfill their obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The project focuses on enhancing national biodiversity frameworks to align with the GBF's ambitious goals and targets while addressing gaps in stakeholder engagement, policy integration, and capacity building.

NBSAPs are pivotal for the sustainable management of biodiversity, integrating conservation efforts with national development objectives. However, challenges persist in many countries, including insufficient funding, weak institutional frameworks, limited stakeholder involvement, and gaps in aligning national and global biodiversity targets. These shortcomings often result in slow progress and inadequate implementation of biodiversity strategies.

This project seeks to resolve these challenges by:

- Supporting NBSAP Updates: Providing technical and financial assistance to update or revise NBSAPs to reflect GBF targets and milestones. This includes addressing gaps in policy coherence, gender inclusion, and biodiversity mainstreaming into critical economic and social sectors.
- Facilitating the 7th National Report Submission: Enabling countries to fulfill CBD reporting obligations with high-quality, data-driven submissions that document progress towards biodiversity goals.
- Enhancing Capacity and Knowledge Sharing: Strengthening institutional frameworks and technical capacity through global knowledge platforms, tools, and partnerships with key stakeholders, including governments, civil society, academia, and Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs).

The programme is executed under the Direct Implementation Modality (DIM) by UNDP, in coordination with the Global Environment Facility (GEF). It spans 42 months (2024-2027), with a total funding of $35.6 million. The initiative leverages past successes from the Global Biodiversity Framework Early Action Support (GBF-EAS) and related efforts, ensuring effective and efficient resource use.

To be able to carry out the work properly, the Environment Unit requires strong support in terms of Financial and Administration. Under the supervision of the Programme Finance Associate, the Project Clerk is needed to support in projects implementation under the Unit in terms of administration and finance.
