Background
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.
UNDP has been supporting the Nepalese people in
their struggle against poverty since it opened an in-country office in 1963.
Much of this support has gone to building up the capacity of government
agencies, civil society and community groups to fight poverty, and to bringing
these groups and Nepal’s donors together to design and implement successful
poverty alleviation projects.
In parallel to the roll-out of its new Country Programme,
2018-2022, UNDP Nepal is reorganizing internally and moving towards
strategically repositioning UNDP’s global contributions in support of the
Sustainable Development Goals and collaboration with national development
partners. Nepal is accelerating its agenda of federalization while reconciling
aspects of its Constitution which have implications for how UNDP engage with
central and local level authorities. Meanwhile, Nepal’s GNI continues to grow,
making graduation from LDC status a scenario for which UNDP needs to begin
planning and adapting to different models of development cooperation.
Under the guidance and direct supervision of the
Human Resources Analyst, the Operations Assistant (HR) ensures execution of
transparent and efficient Operations (HR) services in CO. The Operations
Assistant (HR) promotes a collaborative, client-oriented approach and supports
