Mission and objectives

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in approximately 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequality and exclusion. The program helps countries to developing policies, leadership skills, partnership skills, institutional capacities, and to building resilience to sustainable development results. UNDP implements several projects in different areas, offering its partners technical, operational and management assistance through access to methodologies, specialized knowledge, specialized advice and a wide international network of technical cooperation. To contribute to human development, poverty reduction and the country's growth in priority areas, UNDP Brazil has a constant mission to align its services with the needs of a dynamic, multifaceted and diverse country. The projects are carried out in partnership with the Brazilian government, international financial institutions, the private sector and civil society.

Context

In November 2021, the National School for the Training and Improvement of Magistrates (ENFAM) and the UNDP signed the international technical cooperation project BRA/21/010 - Strengthening management and innovation capacities in the actions promoted by ENFAM for jurisdictional promotion effective. The project aims to develop subsidies (new methodologies, educational actions, studies, research and tools) for structuring, innovation and continuous improvement of the Judiciary, helping in the training and improvement of excellence of State and Federal magistrates and, when possible, of Justice servants, so that they can promote Justice in line with society's expectations. To achieve its goals, BRA/21/010 has the following lines of action: 1. Strategy to strengthen and innovate in training and improvement actions for judges, developed and implemented on a pilot basis. 2. Methodologies for strengthening the production and management of knowledge applied to priorities of Brazilian justice. 3. ENFAM's technical and management capacity strengthening plan. 4. Efficient management and knowledge management of the project carried out. In view of the advancement of the Stricto Sensu Graduate Program and the work developed by the study groups and research by ENFAM, there is a demand for an Educator (pedagogue) who supports ENFAM in expanding the courses, functionalities and materials of the virtual environment of the aforementioned School. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, initially the activities to be carried out by the selected volunteer will be remote, although he/she must be available to participate in face-to-face meetings at the ENFAM office in Brasília and for the resumption of presential work, when the pandemic situation is normalized. The expected workload is approximately 6 to 7 hours per day. The systems / applications used by the School are Moodle, Zoom, Teams for Education, Miro, Padlet, Canva among others that facilitate the application of active methodologies and interaction between students and teachers.
