UNDP Africa’s strategic vision places capacity development for pro-poor growth and accountability at the centre of all UNDP-supported activities in the region, given the fact that lack of capacity in these areas remains one of the key challenges faced by Africa today in its efforts to achieve the MDGs
. To achieve this goal UNDP has set itself the tasks of strengthening African capacity in four broad based areas: i) poverty reduction and achievement of the MDGs; ii) consolidating democratic and participatory governance; iii) conflict prevention, peace building and recovery; and iv) energy, environment and sustainable development. The regional project under which this post falls is in line with the third focus area mentioned above; it will build on two previous projects funded by UNDP (PCASED and ECOSAP) which led to the adoption of the Bamako Protocol, Africa’s first protocol on small arms and light weapons control.
