The UNDP Practice Architecture

The UNDP practice architecture is a framework for better organizing UNDP to provide consistent policy advisory services, more relevant and substantive policy knowledge, and a better linkage between policy, programming and capacity development. The value of the practice architecture lies in its comprehensive structure to solidify UNDP and its staff into a global team that ensures consistency, alignment and quality assurance in the way UNDP delivers services both within UNDP and to development partners and programme countries. The Environmental Policy Advisor will support a global multi-disciplinary network of advisors and institutions to provide cutting edge advisory services that are knowledge based, relevant to the practical needs of programme countries, and take aholistic approach to development. The advisor will play a key role in promoting the exchange of best practices and innovative thinking across regions and provide substantive leadership and backup to field-based specialists who provide advisory services directly to UNDP Country Offices and developing countries.
