UNDP Driver Jobs in South Sudan

Background

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions.

Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.

UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

One of the key benchmarks of the Revitalized Agreement for the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) signed in 2018 is the conduct of elections. These elections will be South Sudan’s first elections as a sovereign state.

The Government of South Sudan has formally requested the United Nations to provide electoral assistance recognizing the need to begin planning and preparations for the elections, including establishing the legal framework, reconstitution of the National Elections Commission (NEC), working with political parties, civil society and the media raising public awareness and creating conditions for inclusive participation of citizens.

UN electoral assistance in South Sudan is led by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) in collaboration with UNDP and other UN agencies. An integrated electoral assistance team has been established and within this integrated structure UNDP has set up the South Sudan Electoral Support Project.

The Project seeks to strengthen national institutions, platforms and processes for credible, transparent, peaceful and inclusive electoral processes with the following outcomes:

Establishment of an enabling legal framework for free, fair and inclusive elections supported

Strengthened institutional capacities for professional, transparent and accountable election management

Inclusive participation fostered through enhanced rights and access to information

Enhanced environment for maintaining security and mitigating violence during

elections

Strengthened effectiveness in planning and implementing electoral processes for all citizens

The Project will provide support to several institutions including the reconstituted National Elections Commission (NEC) and Political Parties Council (PPC) and work closely with relevant Ministries, UNMISS, UN agencies, other implementing partners and Civil Society Organizations including women, youth and persons with disability organizations among others
