UNDP
Cambodia Country Office works in partnership with the Royal Government
of Cambodia, nongovernment organizations, civil society organizations,
community-based organizations, multilateral aid agencies, bilateral
donors and private sector to support the progress towards the Cambodia
SDGs. To support the implementation of the Country Programme 2019-2023,
the Policy and Innovation Unit plays an important role within the
Country Office to develop high level policy and technical advisory
support to the government. It works guided by three set of strategies:
1) research, policy and innovation, 2) advocacy and 3) programming. The
Unit is expected to deliver three main programmatic pillars: 1)
Prosperity, 2) Planet and 3) Peace and Participation. Over
the past two decades Cambodia has realized exceptional rates of
economic growth averaging over 7% prior to the pandemic, with persistent
declines in poverty and rapid improvements in human development. Yet
Cambodia faces several development challenges. Pressures stemming from
Cambodia’s rapid progression as a Middle-Income Country (MIC) have
tended to be resource and carbon intensive, resulting in environmental
challenges and natural resource depletion. Moreover, the country is
facing the impact of climate change. As Cambodia is recovering from the
COVID-19 pandemic, there are opportunities for a more sustainable and
resilient development pathway. UNDP Cambodia has been
playing an important role in supporting the development and
implementation of environment and climate change related policies and
strategies of the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC). The current
priorities of the Nature, Climate and Energy programme include: 1) Turn
climate commitments into action; 2) Increase access to electricity and
promote sustainable energy solutions; 3) Promote nature-based solutions
to enhance natural resource management and reduce deforestation; and 4)
Advance Cambodia’s transition to a circular economy. In
order to provide support and ensure effective policy and quality
technical services to the government, PIH in UNDP Cambodia is looking to
recruit consultants in the following areas of expertise: Natural Resource Management Biodiversity Conservation Sustainable Finance for Biodiversity and Protected Areas
