Mission and objectives
En tant qu'agence principale des Nations Unies pour le développement international, le PNUD travaille dans 170 pays et territoires pour éradiquer la pauvreté et réduire les inégalités. Nous aidons les pays à développer des politiques, des compétences en matière de leadership, des capacités de partenariat, des capacités institutionnelles et à renforcer la résilience pour atteindre les Objectifs de développement durable. Notre travail se concentre sur trois domaines d'intervention : le développement durable, la gouvernance démocratique et la consolidation de la paix et la résilience au climat et aux catastrophes.
Le mandat du PNUD consiste à mettre fin à la pauvreté, à instaurer une gouvernance démocratique, un État de droit et des institutions inclusives. Nous plaidons pour le changement et aidons les pays à accéder à la connaissance, à l'expérience et aux ressources nécessaires pour aider les personnes à construire une vie meilleure.

Context
UNDP is the development arm of the United Nations. UNDP tackles the world biggest challenges, from rising poverty and inequality to a rapidly changing climate, emerging crises, and the ongoing degradation and destruction of our natural world. Our UNDP Digital Strategy 2022–2025 aims to support our partner countries in harnessing the power of digital technology to address these pressing issues. The strategy outlines UNDP’s ambition to adopt a rights-based approach to digital technologies to improve our development outcomes and help build inclusive digital ecosystems globally, leaving no one behind.
UNDP's mission in the Union of Comoros is twofold. Leveraging its international expertise, it provides the Comorian government with analyses and solutions tailored to the challenges of development.
Furthermore, UNDP plays a unifying role in mobilizing and coordinating numerous national and international partners around a common agenda: the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UNDP Country Office in the Union of Comoros supports the Government in implementing programs and projects that contribute to sustainable development, climate resilience, governance, economic transformation, and social inclusion. In the context of global digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) represents a major lever for improving operational efficiency, data analysis, and the design of innovative solutions for development. With a view to integrating these technological advancements into its interventions, UNDP Country Office is seeking to recruit a United Nations Volunteer (UNV) to support the identification, experimentation, and integration of AI technologies into the Office's operations and programs.
This initiative is part of:
- UNDP’s AI Fundamentals, which aim to raise awareness, provide training, and build capacity for the responsible and ethical adoption of AI;
- UNDP’s flagship AI initiatives, which focus on high-impact solutions for climate action, biodiversity, governance, crisis prevention, and inclusive transformation.
