UNDP country programme document (CPD) that defined UNDP Brazil priorities for the quadrennium between 2024 and 2027 is aligned with the Brazil Pluriannual Plan 2024-2027 and United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2023-2027 and is informed by the UNDP Strategic Plan, 2022-2025, through the application of its signature solutions and grounded in the UNDP regional vision of a three-lane road comprised of effective governance that simultaneously advances towards inclusion, resilience, and productivity. CPD recognizes that despite gains from earlier decades, inequalities and discrimination based on gender, race, ethnicity, geography, and age continue to be development challenges in Brazil. A fundamental shift in financing and action is needed to accelerate the current pace of development and achieve the 2030 Agenda.
In light of the above and inspired by the principle of ‘leaving no one behind’, the UNDP 2024-2027 vision is to leverage sustainable development action by collaborating for structural changes in Brazil to make the society more inclusive, productive and resilient. UNDP will focus on reducing multidimensional vulnerabilities by accelerating human development capacities and capabilities. UNDP also acknowledges that strengthening women’s economic empowerment and leadership is pivotal to shifting social norms for gender equality—and it is an intersectional pursuit that involves addressing racial and gender prejudices that Afro-Brazilian women face. CPD defines 4 main results areas: i) economic transformation for sustainable development; ii) social inclusion for sustainable development, iii) environment and climate change for sustainable development; iv) governance and institutional capacities for sustainable development. These results areas generated through an organizational structure that includes 3 thematic clusteunitsrs:
Given the imperative to support the country in the implementation of the SDGs and improve human development in the most excluded and vulnerable populations, UNDP Brazil has adopted a strategy to enhance CO presence at territorial level through establishment of an organizational unit dedicated to strengthen partnerships with Brazilian states and municipalities through 3 state level offices as well as other sub-national partnerships and initiatives.
Decentralized Cooperation and Territorial Development transversal support area aims at contributing to advance on inclusive governance and human development to achieve sustainable development –social, economic and environmental- in Brazilian States and Municipalities. The main objective is to leave no one behind at the sub-national level through the implementation of the SDGs at territorial level in line with national policies and plans and the UNDP Integrated Framework to Support Local Governance and Local Development (LGLD) as well as MAPS framework.
The Decentralized Cooperation and Territorial Development area will promote the coordination of integrated development initiatives within a given territory, taking into consideration the local political, social, cultural, geographic, economic, historic, andenvironmental complexities as well as opportunities to implement SDGs and accelerate their achievement. This will allow a more coherent cooperation at subnational level to be framed under a broader and integrated strategy aligned to the national level through a territorial approach for development. A UNDP Brazilstrategy for decentralized cooperation will further guide thisfunction and itspriorities (geographical and thematic).
To enable the implementation of projects under the Decentralized Cooperation and Territorial Development portfolio, the Project Assistant will provide – under the supervision of the Project Coordinator of the Local UNDP Office in Salvador/Bahia, and general guidance of the Territorial Development and Decentralized Cooperation Advisor – logistical and administrative support to DIM and NIM projects in the state of Bahia and other states, as assigned to him/her.
