Translation and interpretation
UNDP’s partnership with the Global Fund makes a vital contribution to UNDP’s Strategic Plan 2018-2021 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As a long-standing partner of the Global Fund, UNDP’s value proposition lies in providing an integrated package of development solutions to strengthen institutions to deliver health services. Through its contributions as interim Principal Recipient (PR) and provider of technical assistance to Global Fund grants for HIV, TB, and malaria programmes, UNDP’s provision of integrated policy, implementation and capacity development support to countries has yielded significant health and development results in challenging operating environments. These document translations will support UNDP to build on these results through advocacy and guidance to health partners and governments.

Candidates should be native, or demonstrably fluent (sample translation may be requested), in either French or Spanish, and fluent in English. Familiarity in technical terms related to the Global Fund, health programming, or health systems strengthening will be considered an advantage.
