Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

The United Nations General Assembly's resolution 72/279 of 31 May 2018 established the Cooperation Framework as the primary instrument for planning and implementing UN development activities at the country level. This framework, the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF), embodies the principles of the UN Development System reform, promoting enhanced coordination, accountability, and impact in supporting countries to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The UN Country Team (UNCT) in Uganda developed and has been implementing a five-year UNSDCF (2021–2025), which is set to conclude on 31 December 2025. This framework, operationalized by 29 UN entities, focuses on three Strategic Priorities: 1) Transformative and Inclusive Governance; 2) Shared Prosperity in a Healthy Environment; and 3) Human Well-being and Resilience, with five corresponding results areas. The UNSDCF 2021-2025 was developed in alignment with Uganda’s third National Development Plan (NDP III) and has been implemented through various tools, including a multi-year funding framework (MYFF), Joint Workplans (JWP), and Joint Programmes (JPs) and initiatives. Annual progress has been reported through UNINFO, and the UN Annual Country Results Reports for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. A comprehensive evaluation of the UNSDCF was conducted in 2025, providing critical inputs for the Evaluation Management Response and the design of the new UNSDCF 2026-2030. As the current UNSDCF draws to a close, the UNCT aims to produce the 2025 UN Uganda Country Results Report. This final report will consolidate and highlight the high-level results achieved across all five years of UNSDCF’s implementation (2021-2025). This report is crucial for strengthening relationships and policy dialogues with the national Government and other stakeholders, ensuring full visibility of UN results in Uganda. To facilitate this crucial task, the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office (RCO) seeks to recruit a National United Nations Volunteer (UNV) to lead the consolidation and drafting of this comprehensive report, adhering to the latest UN Country Results Report Guidelines.
