Zambia Jobs in Lusaka, Zambia by United Nations Development Project (UNDP)

Zambia has received funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for the project Strengthening climate resilience of agricultural livelihoods in Agro-Ecological Regions I and II in Zambia. This project aims to increase the resilience of smallholder farmers in Agro-Ecological Regions I and II in Zambia in view of climate change and variability. The project will achieve this aim by taking a value chain approach, addressing risks posed across key stages of the value chain – planning, inputs, production and post-production. The very high co-finance ensures that this project will shift public financing on agriculture towards climate resilient agriculture through strong partnership with GCF and UNDP. GCF funds will only finance the activities that have a clear climate change additionality like climate information and early warning systems, access to water for smallholder farmers and linkages with rural agricultural markets. The project will make targeted interventions to capitalize on opportunities to strengthen and promote viable climate-resilient value chains relating to smallholder agriculture in the target regions, specifically targeting value chains that are gender sensitive and provide viable economic opportunities for women. This includes three interrelated outputs: 1) strengthening capacity of farmers to plan for climate risk; 2) strengthening resilient agricultural production and diversification practices (for both food security and income generation); and 3) strengthening farmers’ access to markets and commercialization of introduced resilient agricultural commodities.

UNCDF is the UN’s capital investment agency for the world’s least developed countries. It creates new opportunities for poor people and their communities by increasing access to microfinance and investment capital. UNCDF focuses on Africa and the poorest countries of Asia and the Pacific, with a special commitment to countries emerging from conflict or crisis. It provides seed capital – grants and loans – and technical support to help microfinance institutions reach more poor households and small businesses, and local governments finance the capital investments – water systems, feeder roads, schools, irrigation schemes – that will improve poor peoples’ lives. Mobile Money for the Poor (MM4P): UNCDF manages several initiatives related to digital financial services (DFS), of which the lead programme is Mobile Money for the Poor (MM4P). MM4P addresses the opportunities and challenges of implementing Digital Financial Services (DFS) in LDCs in Africa and Asia with the objective to build an inclusive digital financial ecosystem that offers a wide range of DFS provided responsibly, and at reasonable cost, by sustainable institutions in a well-regulated environment. Specifically, MM4P provides a mix of policy, technical financial support to a range of government and private sector actors in each country, as well as investing in research and other public goods that benefit all market actors. By supporting the development of DFS in these countries, MM4P works to increase the financial security of low income and rural households through access to appropriate, affordable and secure means to receive, manage and save money. MM4P is currently active in eight countries (Benin, Laos, Nepal, Malawi, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Zambia). In each of these countries MM4P implements projects that aim to push the needle on financial inclusion through digital financial services. For more information on the UNCDF MM4P program, see http://mm4p.uncdf.org MM4P in Zambia: There has been significant growth in the DFS landscape in Zambia over the life of the programme with the percentage of adults actively using DFS increasing to 18%, up from 4% in 2014. This has been coupled with the increase in the number of providers to 18 including banks, mobile network operators and third-party providers. Despite this growth, dormancy rates among customers are high. This is largely caused by a lack of meaningful awareness and product design processes that do not take into account customer challenges and needs MM4P’s State of the DFS Market report highlights that many providers reported data for decision making as a key focus area, but also the lack of capacity in the DFS industry. UNCDF is looking for a Consultant with strong skills in data analytics, reporting, and business reporting to support the efforts of its’ grantees. The consultant will complement UNCDF’s existing investments in technical and financial assistance, improving the grantees capacity in data analysis and in leveraging the insights to improve existing products and practices, and/or create new products with the objective to increase adoption and usage. Under the direct supervision of the Regional Technical Specialist (RTS), the Data & HCD Consultant will be responsible for improving the grantees capacity in data analysis for the following stakeholders: UNCDF Zambia- Annual Provider Survey analysis project. UNCDF Zambia-Impact Measurement of Zambia activities. UNCDF Zambia – Data design sprint project. UNCDF Zambia – Addressing customer dormancy project. Bank of Zambia-Data automation project.

The UNDP Strategic Plan 2018-2021 embraces the complexity of development and commits the organization to helping countries find faster, more durable solutions to achieve Agenda 2030. Important development trends like urbanization, climate change, and rising inequalities pose significant challenges on our path to achieve the 2030 agenda of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP has begun incubating a number of strategic initiatives aimed at ensuring UNDP is ‘fit for purpose’ to deliver a new generation of solutions in line with the challenges the world faces. One such key strategic initiatives is the Country Accelerator Lab Network. The initiative is a recognition that increasingly interrelated development challenges require going beyond business as usual and single point, linear and silver bullet responses in development. Instead, they call for an interdisciplinary approaches and non-linear solutions that crowd in the collective efforts of variety of partners and tap into local insights and the knowledge of people closest to the problem and the solutions. The initiative is also a recognition and an investment in the emerging momentum among a growing number of UNDP Country Offices around joining together disruptive, cutting edge methodologies with contextual, country-based insights and expertise to accelerate impact and progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. Us We are building the largest and fastest learning global network of Accelerator Labs (initially setting up 60 labs in 60 countries) embedded within UNDP’s global architecture and country platforms. The new offering builds on the latest thinking from the fields of complexity science, lead user innovation and collective intelligence to accelerate development impact. This Will Be Achieved By Our network will surface and reinforce locally sourced solutions at scale while mobilizing a wide and dynamic partnership of actors contributing knowledge, resources and experience. The idea is to transform our collective approach by introducing new protocols, backed by evidence and practice, which accelerate the testing and dissemination of solutions within and across countries. This will enable the global community to collectively learn from local knowledge and ingenuity at a speed and at a scale that our societies and planet require. Building on locally-sourced solutions, finding things that work and expanding on them; Rapid testing and iteration to implement what works and go beyond the obvious solutions; Combining the best understanding, ideas and expertise to generate collective knowledge; Accelerating progress by bringing expertise, creativity and collective intelligence to bear. The Accelerator Lab will undertake i) external facing interventions addressing priority development challenges, and ii) internally facing experiments to embed new ways of doing development within the existing UNDP portfolio.

The approach was informed by the 2016 visit to Zambia, and subsequent recommendations, of the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as well as efforts at national level to strengthen rights of persons with disabilities, such as the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in 2010, the enactment of the Disability Act (2012) and the approval of the National Policy on Disability (2013). The new 7 th National Development Plan 2017-2021 (7NDP) continues the momentum by placing emphasis on reducing vulnerabilities and inequalities, including for persons with disabilities. Assignment And Project Description As a first step to implement the new approach on disability, the UNCT established an inter-agency project to promote disability inclusion in Luapula Province, for which full funding of USD 400,000 was received from the third funding round of the UN Partnership for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNPRPD). The title of the approved programme is “Promoting disability inclusion in HIV, sexual and reproductive health and social protection in Luapula Province”, and it will be implemented jointly by ILO, UNFPA, UNDP, WHO, UNICEF, and UNAIDS. The duration of the project is 30 months and the total budget is approximately USD 900,000, including in-kind contributions from participating agencies. Luapula Province was selected as the focus province because it has the highest disability prevalence rate in the country (9.7%) and overall low human development indicators. The project seeks to capitalize on the existing normative environment, which protects the right to health and well-being of persons with disabilities to strengthen the structural features already in place and build a sustainable approach to disability inclusion that later can be scaled up to national level. The project will focus on changing attitudes and building capacity within communities, among traditional and religious leaders, service providers as well as organisations of persons with disabilities (DPOs) to provide accessible services in the selected districts in Luapula. The project will also engage with the provincial administration in providing support to broader disability inclusion at the provincial level. A good foundation exists for multiple synergies with other existing or planned interventions, with the UN, central and local government, civil society, the disability sector, the private sector and international organizations. The Luapula project will serve as an entry point for the UN in Zambia to strengthen disability inclusion and mainstreaming across all programmes and operations. For this purpose, the RCO is looking for a motivated young professional – UNV Coordination and Partnerships Officer – who can support the effective strategic level coordination and communication of the Luapula disability project as well as the conceptualisation and implementation of a coherent UN-wide approach to mainstreaming disability rights. The Coordination and Partnerships Officer will work under the direct supervision of the UN Resident Coordinator/UNDP Resident Representative and as a member of the wider RCO team. The Coordination and Partnerships Officer will also collaborate closely with the Project Coordinator for the Luapula project, based in Mansa, and the inter-agency technical team and other partners in Lusaka. Through the position, the young professional will gain: 1) hands on experience in UN Delivering as One coordination and in promoting multi-stakeholder collaboration in the context of the SDGs and Leave No One Behind, 2) hands on experience in policy and advocacy work in a multicultural environment, and 3) in-depth knowledge of international and national frameworks on rights of persons with disabilities and experience in how to advance their practical realization at the country level. Duties and Responsibilities Under the supervision of the UN Resident Coordinator, the Coordination and Partnerships Officer will undertake the following tasks: Coordination, Strategic Planning And Reporting: Support the establishment of an UN inter-agency technical team on disability to promote strengthened disability mainstreaming across agencies; Assist the RC and UNCT to develop and implement a coherent approach/strategy to disability mainstreaming, learning from the Luapula disability project and regional and global best practices and frameworks; Support coordination, planning and reporting support to the Luapula disability project, as deemed necessary by Project Coordinator and implementing technical team. Partnerships and Communcations: With the UN inter-agency technical team on disability, support regular dialogue with key national and international partners in Lusaka in order to raise awareness about the Luapula disability project, build new partnerships on disability and identify opportunities for funding and programmatic synergies Facilitate joint communication, advocacy and information sharing across UN agencies and partners on progress of the Luapula disability project, as well as more broadly on disability conventions and frameworks, as well as data and statistics in Zambia. Capacity Development: Research and identify training and capacity development initiatives to strengthen UN and partner’s capacity in disability mainstreaming, and in addressing needs of other vulnerable and marginalised groups. Other Tasks: Support overall coordination work in the RCO, as necessary, as a member of the team, especially in relation to reporting, communications and partnerships building Carry out other tasks as identified by the UN Resident Coordinator and RCO.
