About United Nations Development Programme

UNDP recruits both internationally and locally across its roughly 170 country offices, spanning technical, programme and operations roles supporting governance, poverty reduction, climate and crisis-response work. Many UNDP positions are recruited at the country-office level for that specific location, which is why browsing by duty station on its careers site typically surfaces more relevant openings than a broad keyword search.
