Background

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at

UNDP:
we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions.
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.**The Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and UNDP's Green Commodity Programme (GCP) have worked in partnership since 2015 to strengthen sustainable commodity production and trade through strengthened multi-stakeholder dialogue and collaboration.

In 2023, SECO and UNDP GCP started the Phase III of the "Effective Collaborative Action for Sustainable Commodity Production and Trade" project.

The goal of Phase III is to advance multi-stakeholder collaboration for systemic change.

Through it, UNDP will foster the adoption of sustainable production through facilitating effective multi-stakeholder collaborative initiatives in globally important agricultural commodity systems in five countries in order to catalyse a shared vision and multi-stakeholder collaborative action for transforming those systems.

Achievement of this objective will be facilitated by UNDP through effective multi-stakeholder collaborative action, addressing the challenges presented by siloed stakeholders, mistrust and diverging agendas.

This new phase will build on the work and successes of the prior two phases, and it will continue work in Indonesia (Palm Oil) and Peru (Coffee), while also starting new interventions in Ghana (cocoa), Brazil (soy and beef), and Malaysia (palm oil).

In the specific case of Brazil, the intervention facilitates effective stakeholder collaboration towards advancing the adoption of sustainable production of beef and soy in the state of Tocantins, located in the globally important ecosystem of the Cerrado in Brazil, in an area that has experienced some of the highest rates of land conversion for agricultural commodities over the past two decades.

The UNDP Food and Agricultural Commodity Systems (FACS) Team, together with the UNDP country office team in Brasilia and the Implementation Partner, Conservation International, will support the establishment of a multi-stakeholder platform in Tocantins, providing facilitation support, customized capacity building, partnership facilitation using UNDP's Effective Collaborative Action methodology throughout project implementation, while also offering advisory services to help align the multi-stakeholder dialogues with co-creation of technical interventions that genuinely influence sustainability in agricultural commodity systems.

In this regard, UNDP/Brazil is looking to retain a Project Policy Adviser with significant expertise in the cattle and soy sectors, strong knowledge of production systems and commercial supply chains, ample experience with public institutions and with governance systems
- and tools at federal and state levels. The Project Policy Adviser will play a leading role with the national project team and will work to establish synergies and collaboration with public institutions and other actors at federal and state levels.
