Organization Mission

UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy.

The Governance, Rule of Law, and Peacebuilding Hub, a joint endeavor of the Crisis Bureau (CB) and the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS), integrates work across governance, rule of law and peacebuilding (GRP) to substantially improve UNDP positioning and resource mobilization, undertake global advocacy; advance principled and effective solutions that support accountable, inclusive and effective governance, prevent and respond to crisis, and enable peacebuilding and early recovery from crisis, whilst addressing underlying risks.

To strengthen the visibility, consistency, and impact of its communications, the GRP Hub seeks support from an Online Volunteer with experience in communications, social media management, and graphic design.
