    UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. 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.

    Background

    UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

    The UN Women Policy, Procedure and Guidance (PPG) framework is a governance and accountability framework, that was developed to strengthen governance and internal controls by ensuring that internal facing policies, procedures and guidance documents are risk-driven and designed to meet the organizational needs.  Within the PPG framework, the PPG Policy framework serves to establish responsibilities, procedures and instructions for the management, development, approval, promulgation, review and update of PPGs and the authorization of exceptions and resolution of inconsistencies relating to such documents, as well as the hierarchy of PPGs.

    As a result, two experienced Internal Policy Management Consultants are required to contribute to efforts to support components of Policy, Procedure and Guidance Framework, with a specific focus on materially revised and new policies, procedures and related documents. This is to ensure that these are not only aligned to meet the entity’s needs but are also compliant with the process related to internal policy cycle management.  

    The consultant will be reporting to the Enterprise Risk Manager, and will be supported by Governance, Risk and Compliance Specialist, who will be the point of contact on the contract and payment issues. 

    Duties and Responsibilities

    The Policy Management Consultant shall assist in the management, oversight and implementation of the PPG Policy Framework and shall provide advice for PPG needs analysis and development, shall undertake a review of specific documents, supporting the coordination with content owners to ensure PPGs are adequate, up-to-date, and fully responsive to UN Women’s operating context.
