Job Purpose and Organizational Context

UNDP’s Social and Environmental Standards(SES) underpin our commitment to mainstream social and environmental sustainability in our Programmes and Projects to support sustainable development. The SES came into effect 1 January 2015. The objectives of the Standards are to:

  • Strengthen the social and environmental outcomes of Programmes and Projects;
  • Avoid adverse impacts to people and the environment;
  • Minimize, mitigate, and manage adverse impacts where avoidance is not possible;
  • Strengthen UNDP and partner capacities for managing social and environmental risks;
  • Ensure full and effective stakeholder engagement, including through a mechanism to respond to complaints from project-affected people.

A key mechanism to ensure these standards are applied is through UNDP’s project-level Social and Environmental Screening Procedure (SESP), which is a requirement for all proposed projects. The objectives of the SESP are to: (a) Integrate the SES Overarching Principles (human rights, gender equality and environmental sustainability); (b) Identify potential social and environmental risks and their significance; (c) Determine the Project’s risk category (Low, Moderate, High); and (d) Determine the level of social and environmental assessment and management required to address potential risks and impacts. All guidance on UNDPs Social and Environmental Safeguards can be found in the SES Toolkit.

In August 2018, a complaint was filed with UNDP’s Social and Environmental Compliance Unit (SECU) regarding a recently launched project, Integrated and Transboundary Conservation of Biodiversity in the Basins of the Republic of Cameroon. The ongoing independent investigation by SECU is examining UNDP’s compliance with its SES in the design and implementation of this project. The draft report is expected in May 2019.
