International Consultant Reporting Specialist (6 Months)

UNICEF MAURITANIE

UNICEF Mauritania: Recrutement International Consultant Reporting Specialist (6 months) Purpose Of Activity/Assignment Country context Mauritania ranked 157th out of 189 nations in the 2020 Human Development Index.

Partnership and Resource Mobilization Specialist

PNUD

Background In the context of COVID 19 pandemic, it is anticipated that the longer-term social and economic impact of this crisis will be profound. The International Monetary Fund expects a global recession more severe than the 2008 global?nancial crisis, with two-thirds of the economic dislocation from losses of business and consumer con?dence and tightened?nancial markets rather than the pandemic itself. But by building back better, this dislocation also provides an opportunity to shift our planetary trajectory towards the 2030 Agenda and a climate resilient future. UNDP is helping countries assess and understand the impacts of COVID-19. Our post-disaster needs assessments were developed in coordination with the European Union, the World Bank and the rest of the UN system, building on experience dating back to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, through the Ebola and Zika epidemics and many other crises and disasters around the world. UNDP is already working to understand the social, economic and political impacts of the crisis, and to?nd ways to mitigate them with sustainable, resilient and rights-based solutions crafted with the public and private sectors. This leverages our capacity on innovation, digital solutions, social protection systems, response to increased gender-based violence, emergency job...
