Background

Office/Unit/Project Description


A UNDP FACS team and practice have been established within the Nature, Climate and Energy team of UNDP to support the implementation of the UNDP FACS strategy.

Its global objectives, targets and delivery strategies are based on inclusive and sustainable growth and development - combining governments and markets in agriculture through public-private partnerships and democratic dialogue processes.

The FACS team leads several global initiatives, including supporting the World Bank with the implementation of the Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration (FOLUR) Impact Program (IP), financed under GEF-7.

The Programme is designed to promote sustainable integrated landscapes and efficient food value chains at scale, by encouraging transformation to more environmentally sustainable production practices and more resilient landscapes.

The FACS team also works in close collaboration with various governments, including the Government of Sweden and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs of Switzerland (SECO).

The UNDP FACS Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) team plays a key role in the delivery of the UNDP FACS strategy, through:
Developing innovative, system-informed and participatory MEL frameworks and tools (i.e., the Signals of Change Framework, and the Causality Assessment for Landscape Interventions), and promoting and supporting their adoption in the context of relevant projects, programmes and portfolios;
Providing broader MEL advice and support to initiatives in the UNDP FACS portfolio (e.g., on learning-focused approaches to monitoring and evaluation, qualitative and quantitative methods for outcome monitoring, and the wider development of logical frameworks), including through needs assessment, diagnostics, and co-creation of targeted solutions;

Encouraging sensemaking, learning and knowledge sharing on:
Innovative, system-informed and/or participatory MEL approaches for portfolios and interventions working with FACS, including through managing a resolute community of practice, facilitating learning sessions, and compiling/developing and publishing emerging knowledge and insights;

How food and agricultural commodity systems change, and how development interventions can support a positive transformation, including through preparing and facilitating reviews at portfolio and initiative/project level.

Gathering, processing, and sharing with relevant (internal and external) stakeholders the latest information on progress, achievements, risks, and challenges at portfolio level (this includes information on how gender mainstreaming and social and environmental safeguards are being addressed at all relevant levels), including to support decision-making, learning and communications at the portfolio level, and comply with corporate and other reporting requirements.


To strengthen its services to FACS portfolios and initiatives/projects, the UNDP FACS MEL team is recruiting an Information Management Associate.
