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.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
The Kyrgyz Republic is highly committed to achieving the 2030 Agenda and integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the country’s national development efforts. The SDGs have been reflected in the national development framework through gap analysis and priority-setting undertaken in the 2040 National Development Strategy of the Kyrgyz Republic (NDS), the mid-term National Development Programme of the Kyrgyz Republic (2021–2026) (NDP), and through various programmes and strategies on healthcare, education, gender, youth, green economy, digitalization, regional development, and other sectors. The combined impact of COVID-19 pandemic, international economic decline, domestic instability, and regional conflict have taken a toll on people’s resilience in recent years in Kyrgyzstan pushing back the progress towards achieving SDGs and realization of 2030 Agenda and posing increasingly complex development challenges to economic and political stability, governance, environmental stability, social inclusion, gender equality, and beyond.
Following its Country Programme Document (CPD) for the Kyrgyz Republic for 2023-2027, UNDP supports the Kyrgyz Republic in moving towards a low-carbon, risk-informed and resilient development, sustaining and protecting healthy ecosystems to implement international climate action commitments. Strengthening access to justice, the rule of law, and promoting human rights are cornerstones of UNDP's mandate to achieve sustainable human development and eradicate extreme poverty. Through its work in these areas, UNDP contributes to building peace and democratic governance across various development contexts.
