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.

Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.**UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

UNDP's policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy.

In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan.

Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP's Strategic Plan.

BPPS's staff provides technical advice to Country Offices, advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas.

BPPS works closely with UNDP's Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. BPPS ensures that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP's development programmes.

BPPS assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results-based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working.

BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts.

UNDP is a founding cosponsor of the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), a partner of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and a co-sponsor of several other international health partnerships.

UNDP's partnership with the Global Fund, in line with UNDP's HIV, Health and Development Strategy :

Connecting the Dots, makes a vital contribution to UNDP's Strategic Plan , the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the pledge to leave no one behind leverages UNDP's core strengths and mandates in human development, governance and capacity development to complement the efforts of specialist health-focused UN agencies.

As a long-standing partner of the Global Fund, UNDP's value proposition lies in providing an integrated package of development solutions to strengthen institutions to deliver health services.

Through its contributions as interim Principal Recipient (PR) and provider of technical assistance to Global Fund grants in 53 countries since 2003, UNDP's provision of integrated policy, implementation and capacity development support to countries has yielded significant health and development results in challenging operating environments.

Proactive risk management and investing in sustainability are the cornerstones of UNDP's portfolio management approach in supporting to countries with significant national capacity constraints to manage large-scale health programmes.

By providing technical assistance to national counterparts during all phases of implementation, strengthening legislation, policies and regulatory frameworks, and building capacities across key functional areas, including financial management, health information systems, procurement and supply chain management, UNDP is able to deliver results whilst sustainably transitioning to national entities.

UNDP's track record as PR over the years and capacity to deliver in challenging operating environments has been critical for strengthening its positioning as a health implementation support partner.

Based on demand from Country Offices, and building on the relationships, expertise, systems, partnerships, including across the UN family, and comparative advantage established through the Global Fund partnership,
