UNDP Special Skills Analyst for Public Finance Management Secretariat – Governance Cluster Jobs in South Sudan

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.

The Public Finance Management Reforms Strategy (PFM-RS) as required for the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS), 2018, provides a better opportunity for Revitalized Government of National Unity (RTGoNU) to build the capacity of public institutions and the civil servants skillfully, structurally, systematically, symbiotically, and synthetically.

This will necessitate the placements of well-trained civil servants who are motivated as Change Agents to deliver peace dividends impactfully, effectively, and efficiently for the welfare and human development of the people of South Sudan. It will also require training, coaching, and mentoring of the government officials who are attached to the Secretariat of PFM-RS to discharge their duties diligently and operate cohesively and integrally with transparently and accountability in the interest of diversification of the economy of South Sudan.

It is for this purpose that the GEMS Project has been designed with enabling functional tools of professionalizing the public economic sector and creating an enabling conducive working environment for public institutions to function effectively with adherence to PFM cycle.

The Project has been envisioned to induce behavioural change in conduct of public affairs, learning from relevant comparative experiences and adjusting attitude of civil servants to match the standards of “New Deal Compact” for accelerating economic growth in South Sudan.
