Editing Bangladesh UNCT Result Report 2023

Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

The annual UN Country Results Reports are guided by the 2019 United Nations Sustainable Cooperation Framework Guidance. To help countries best illustrate the UN’s contribution to the advancement of the SDGs, these guidelines replace the previous UNDG One UN Country Results Report template from 2015. These guidelines are designed to assist UN Country Teams in producing higher quality and timelier Reports, with reduced transaction costs.

To that end, annual UN Country Results Reports for 2023 onwards are guided by the following principles in relation to their content, format, timeline, and quality assurance: This report's primary audience is government, CSO, development partners and other stakeholders of UN. The report is shared with and presented to the national Government. It should also be shared with other development stakeholders at the country level. The report uses existing country-specific data points in UNINFO, the IMS, and other platforms as relevant, that are kept up to date by the Resident Coordinator’s Office and the UNCT.

To reduce transaction costs, no separate RC/UNCT annual reporting against the UNCT annual work plan is required. Rather, the results of this UNCT work plan should be factored into the UN Country Results Report. The UNCT Country Results Report will inform other mandated reports at regional and global levels, including the annual report of the Chair of the UNSDG to the Economic and Social Council on the UN Development Coordination Office, which showcases the work of the Resident Coordinator system and the system-wide contribution to the advancement of the SDGs

To that end, we are looking to collaborate with qualified Online Volunteers to support in the finalisation process of the Report specifically through proofreading and writing.

Specifically, the Online Volunteer will be asked to:

• Edit draft UN Country Result Report 2023 in compliance with UN Country Results Report Guidelines (5 days).
• Prepare draft foreword message for the Resident Coordinator and contents pages, as required.
• Ensure that all content is free of spelling mistakes and professionally and logically presented, removing redundant content.
• Review, verify and edit to ensure the use of gender and culturally sensitive language in the document.

Excellent writing and analytical formulation skills with demonstrated experience in preparing strategic and programming documents or similar analytical documents.
