Project Specialist (Coordinator)
22 May 14:00
Lusaka
Background
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. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
The ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme is a capacity building program that aims to build the profile, and improve the management, of Development Minerals (industrial minerals; construction materials; dimension stones; and semi-precious stones) implemented since 2015, with the current, second phase implemented since November 2019. The program is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), financed by the European Commission and UNDP, and implemented by UNDP. The mining of Development Minerals has important implications for sustainable development, however, they have not to date received adequate attention for their potential to impact livelihoods and few development programmes have provided support for this mining sub-sector. Often referred to as Low Value Minerals and Materials (LVMM) due to their low price as a function of their weight, and their relatively low value to international commodity markets, Development Minerals provide crucial inputs for domestic economic development (infrastructure, manufacturing, construction and agriculture to name a few) and have the potential to be high value in terms of domestic development and have the potential to generate more local jobs, with a greater impact on poverty reduction. The sector, however, commonly operates in an uncertain legal and regulatory environment, with a lack of publicly available and easily accessible geological data, which exacerbates wasteful exploration and discourages investment in the sector. Furthermore, the weak or often non-existent technical extension services such as skills training, capacity building, access to technology, finance, appropriate equipment, investment information and markets, contributes to the neglect of the sector.
Programme Implementation and Management
The ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme builds the capacity of key stakeholders in the sector, including public stakeholders such as regulatory agencies and local governments; private stakeholders such as small-scale mining enterprises, intermediaries, transportation and logistics service providers, construction companies; business development stakeholders such as mining and quarrying associations, chambers of mines, training centres, universities, consulting companies; and social stakeholders such as civil society organizations and community groups.
At the global level, the programme supports knowledge sharing for African, Caribbean and Pacific countries. At the continental level, the programme supports the African Union Commission’s African Minerals Development Centre. At the country level, the programme is implemented in ten focus countries: Cameroon and the Republic of Congo (Central Africa); Uganda and Tanzania (East Africa); Zambia (Southern Africa); Guinea Conakry and Burkina Faso (West Africa); Jamaica and Suriname (Caribbean); and Fiji (Pacific).
Training and support is provided in the following thematic areas of importance to the sector:
Formalisation of artisanal and small-scale mining
Mine and quarry management;
Environment, health and safety;
Entrepreneurship skills;
Market analysis and investment promotion;
Geo-data and maps design;
Community relations and addressing grievances.
Activities and support at the country-level include:
Training and capacity building workshops;
Small grants and partnership building to upgrade value chains;
Studies, sector capacity assessments, and capacity development roadmaps;
Organization of public-private dialogues;
Production of maps and databases;
Strengthening of regulations on environment, health and safety;
Organizing community engagement meetings and dialogues to address grievances;
Organization of technology fairs and networking events.
The Project Specialist (Coordinator) will be employed to support the implementation of activities at the country level. The Project Specialist (Coordinator) will be contracted by UNDP and will work closely with relevant government agencies, institutions and non-governmental organisations.
Duties and Responsibilities
Under the direct supervision of Head of Inclusive Growth Unit and reporting to the Programme Manager of the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme (UNDP-Brussels); the Project Specialist (Coordinator) will have the following responsibilities:
Summary of key Functions
The Project Specialist (Coordinator) will provide technical, policy, programmatic, operations, knowledge management and partnerships support in the focus country as follows:
Technical and operational support:
Responsible for the day-to-day delivery of country-level activities for the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme;
Responsible for country-level oversight and quality assurance of programmatic activities;

About the Decentralised Nurse/Midwifery Training
In close collaboration with the Ministry of Health’s nursing unit and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Zambia, the decentralised Nurse/Midwifery Training model began in 2010.

These decentralised clinical facilities work with their ‘mother site’ (College) to provide high-quality learning experiences for nurse/midwifery students during clinical placement.
The current phase of Scaling up Decentralized Education for Nurses (SUDEN), runs for 4.5 years from mid-2022-2026 and includes seven additional colleges in 7 new provinces. SolidarMed is supporting all ten provinces of Zambia, from which to cascade the model to all other colleges in each province at a later stage.
The implementation of the programme comprises support for human capacity building and organisational development supporting the quality of nurse/midwifery education.

1. Background
While existing evidence demonstrates that alternative crops provide the same supportive farming and marketing system, and can be at least as profitable as tobacco, many of these alternatives require large investments in infrastructure and support. Such supportive infrastructure exists in the case of tobacco, in part because governments and ministries of finance actively encourage its growth.
The WHO-WFP joint project aims to use the collective partnership framework with diverse stakeholders including the private sector to create an enabling environment supportive to crop production and increased access to predictable markets. The market system development approach will be utilized to strengthen and incentivize smallholder farmers within the agriculture sub-sector to move away from tobacco growing. The project will leverage the private sector led aggregation model that will be established, and the framework will be applicable when procurement is initiated or demanded within the UN system targeting farmers who have switched from growing tobacco to alternative crops. The project will also feed into a longer-term and wider effort to provide alternative livelihoods to farmers and workers involved in tobacco production.
