Mission and objectives

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in nearly 170 countries and territories, including the Republic of Moldova, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience to sustain development results. UNDP in Moldova is guided by its Country Programme Document, and the UN-Moldova Development Assistance for 2018-2022, which is in line with the priorities of the Government of Moldova. In a rapidly changing global environment, the work of UNDP and the broader UN family aligns with the new national development vision, Moldova 2030, and sector strategies. UNDP Moldova’s country programme for 2018–2022 has three major focus areas: Inclusive growth, Effective governance, Climate change, environment and energy and three cross-cutting areas: Gender equality, Crisis response, Development impact

Context

The overall objective of the EU Confidence Building Measures Programme (the EU CBM Programme) is to contribute to an environment of trust and cooperation across the Nistru River generating new perspectives on shared interests and a shared future for people from both banks of the river while responding to their pressing development needs. The EU-CBM Programme represents a framework for engaging in development interventions across the security zone on both sides of the Nistru River, comprising a series of activities that strengthen, regularize, and intensify interaction between otherwise divided societies, aiming to establish this interaction as a norm. The sixth phase of CBM started in July 2023 and consists of 4 components: Component 1: Economic development and decent job creation; Component 2: Enhanced cross-river thematic cooperation between the civil society from both banks; Component 3. Community development and small-scale social infrastructure support; Component 4: Promotion of cultural heritage. Given the increasing number of beneficiaries, the development of thematic platforms, and the specific complexity of the process of working on two banks, a Data Management Associate is required to support the EU-CBM VI Programme team in data collection tasks and monitoring of the constantly increasing database of beneficiaries and partners, as well as – provide continuous guidance to the component stakeholders on monitoring and reporting rules.
