Mission and objectives

As the United Nations lead agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and to build resilience to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our work is concentrated in three focus areas; sustainable development, democratic governance and peace building, and climate and disaster resilience. UNDP’s mandate is to end poverty, build democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive institutions. We advocate for change, and connect countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life.

Context

The UNDP SDG Acceleration Unit acts as an integrator for furthering SDGs in the states and Union Territories. It comprises of 3 Regional Offices-North, North East and South Region and two state offices in Odisha and Uttarakhand.
The unit is also providing technical support to the Planning Departments of various state governments through its specialized convergence unit called the SDG Coordination Centre for a directed approach to SDGs at the state and UT level in states like Haryana, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Nagaland, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir. These offices are actively engaged in partnership with the State Government Departments to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as outlined in the Agenda 2030. Through this collaborative effort, the office aims to support the State Governments in implementing and promoting initiatives for sustainable development in specific state-prioritized areas like tribal welfare, water management, enhancing climate resilience, health, agriculture, localizing SDGs at grassroots, etc.
To that end, the unit is seeking the assistance of Online Volunteers to support the state and regional offices of the unit in the development of communication content and products
