Fatih, Istanbul, Turkey UNDP Careers Full time
Portfolio Coordinator - Urban Missions (Home-Based)

Background

The role of the Portfolio Coordinator for Urban Missions will be to support mission-based urban planning under the Mayors for Economic Growth Facility and the Slovak Transformation Fund initiatives.

Job Description

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.

Since 2021, the IRH Innovation Team has led the regional implementation of the EU-funded "Mayors for Economic Growth" (M4EG), implemented in five Eastern Partnership (EaP) Countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine). The M4EG offers resources, networking and learning opportunities to explore new trajectories of growth and to make towns and cities more attractive for people and investment through new ways of local economic planning. The M4EG takes a 'hyperlocal' and whole-of-place approach and offers training and capability development opportunities for local authorities through the Urban Learning Center, as well as grant programmes for municipalities to test new approaches and tools.

The new phase of the M4EG (2025-2028) aims for inclusive, green and innovative economic revival of secondary cities in EaP through systemic local economic planning, enhanced access to finance, amplified future-ready capabilities and strengthened local, regional and global networks.

The Facility Will Focus On Two Main Outcomes

  • Improved and adaptive systemic local-level economic development planning and implementation through improved tools and capabilities for mission-oriented development.
  • Enhanced access to financing for local authorities through support for pipeline development and financing absorption and management.

The new phase of the M4EG will run a Mission-Oriented Economy Programme to support up to 20 secondary cities within the M4EG network in developing a framed mission for their economies. This programme aims to build local capacities, drive economic and social development, and attract diverse investments in thematic areas such as the inclusive green transition, blue economy, urban resilience, smart and inclusive transitions and cultural economy.
