We take a zero tolerance approach to corruption and stay true to local labour laws and all local statutory requirements.

Overview of position







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, conflict crisis and rising inequalities pose significant challenges on our path to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
UNDP incubates several 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 Global Accelerator Lab Network. The initiative is a recognition that increasingly interrelated development challenges require doing “business as un-usual” overcoming single point, linear and silver bullet responses in development. Instead, they call for an interdisciplinary approach and non-linear solutions, crowded in collective efforts of diversified   partners. This, while tapping into local insights and up taking the knowledge of people closest to the problem and the solutions.
The Accelerator Labs are UNDP’s new way of working in development. Together with our core partners, the State of Qatar and the Federal Republic of Germany, 60 labs serving 78 countries will work together with national and global partners to find radically new approaches that fit the complexity of current development challenges.
The labs will transform our collective approach by introducing new services, backed by evidence and practice, and by accelerating the testing and dissemination of solutions within and across countries. Sense-making, collective intelligence, solutions mapping, and experimentation will be part of the new offer from UNDP to governments.
Together with partners, the Labs will analyze challenges within local contexts to identify connections and patterns in search of new avenues of work to act effectively in addressing wicked development challenges. https://acceleratorlabs.undp.org/
