Background
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at

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

Office/Unit/Project Description
UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable
development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for
collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
UNDP's policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country
Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to
cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in
the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical
expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the
signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic
Plan.
Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support
(BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance
to support the results of UNDP's Strategic Plan. BPPS's staff provides
technical advice to Country Offices, advocates for UNDP corporate messages,
represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues,
government and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter-agency
coordination in specific thematic areas. In addition, BPPS works closely with
UNDP's Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. While
ensuring that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP's development
programmes, BPPS also assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality
development results through an integrated approach that links results-based
management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of
working. Lastly, BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative,
knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts.
In order to streamline its financial and investment
engagement, UNDP launched the Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH), a finance and
innovation platform, that draws on a critical mass of UNDP expertise,
initiatives, and partnerships to support the mobilization and leveraging of
resources for the SDGs and lead the implementation of the new UNDP private sector
strategy and other initiatives. The Hub is an integral part of both the Bureau
for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) and the Bureau of External Relations
and Advocacy (BERA), as well as part of the GPN. The Hub serves as a
connector, broker and global coordinator among internal and external actors;
curates and manages UNDP’s catalogue of service offers on SDG financing to
governments, investors and companies, via the COs, to significantly enhance the
scale and impact of UNDP’s work.
Through the SFH, UNDP has been increasing its
engagement in global financial and economic policy making through the work
carried out in different forums (I.e., G7, G20, UN’s FfD process,
etc.) as well as other regulatory and market-based networks (i.e., Financial Centres
for Sustainability Network (FC4S), Sustainable Insurance Forum (SIF), APEC
Sustainable Finance Development Network (SFDN), etc). Recently, a new
partnership has been reached with the Irish Government to support these
market-based networks.
