**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.**

As all countries around the globe are seeking new ways to address complex and interconnected challenges such as shocks from crises, economic stagnation, inequality, and poverty providing access to clean and affordable energy, protect the environment and the climate system is critical. As a knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System, UNDP aims to develop integrated responses to these issues and serves as the integrator for collective action for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition to multi-lateral and bi-lateral partnerships, UNDP provides countries with specialized integrated technical services for eligibility assessment, programme/project formulation and implementation, capacity development, policy advice, advocacy, technical assistance, training and technology transfer, mobilization of co-financing, implementation oversight, results management and evaluation, performance-based payments and knowledge management services.

The UNDP Country Office (CO) in Brazil is a key development partner of the Brazilian government and supports national and sub-national public and private sector institutions and civil society to achieve a more sustainable and inclusive society by strengthening democratic institutions, improvement of governance effectiveness, reduction of poverty and inequalities and addressing climate change and biodiversity issues. In this context, to meet specific country needs and demands, the CO in Brazil has designed a programme portfolio that includes three mutually reinforcing work streams crafted around three teams:

- Inclusive Socio-economic Development: poverty reduction, social policies livelihoods public-private partnerships, inclusive markets and growth.
- Environmentally Sustainable Development: nature-based solutions for development, climate change, energy efficiency, sustainable production, chemical disaster risk reduction, among others.
- Governance and Justice for Development: prevention of violence, justice, transparency, anti-corruption, human rights, local capacity development

The Environmentally Sustainable Development team is clustered into the larger Programme Team and works in an integrated manner with the Governance and Inclusive Socio-Economic Development teams in anchoring UNDP’s Programme portfolio in Environmental and Sustainable Development areas by providing thought leadership and enabling innovation and cross-cutting development solutions that are amplified by UNDP knowledge, research, and stand-out policy advice.

Under the direct supervision of the Programme Officers of the Environmentally Sustainable Development unit, the Project Analyst (Project Manager) will be responsible for providing technical advice, managing the implementation and monitoring of projects in direct execution (DIM) and/or national modalities (NIM) assigned to her/him. Thus, the Project Analyst (Manager) will be responsible for all management activities related to project implementation, ensuring the fluid execution of projects, the consistency of their implementation and compliance with UNDP and donors’ rules and regulations, in addition to providing substantive technical contributions in the projects' focus areas, contributing to the positioning and expansion of UNDP's activities in the reference themes.
