Who is needed
Description
Duration of the project is 12 months Expected Starting Date: Immediate The Global Sustainable Development Goals are very significant for the country, because for the first time in the history of the UN a comprehensive, global consultation process has generated a common vision for development until 2030. This commitment has been endorsed by all 193 UN member states, resulting in a universal vision of how the world should look like in 2030. The philosophy of the SDGs is that economic development must happen hand in hand with social protection and human rights, bringing vulnerable groups into the mainstream of development and leaving no one behind. In September 2015, Uzbekistan along with other UN member-states supported the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This demonstrates a strong commitment of Government of Uzbekistan to global measures to effectively implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Office of UN Resident Coordinator in the Republic of Uzbekistan (RC Office) inter alia serves to establish coordinated approach of UN Agencies to build coherent and effective partnerships, to plan and implement the UN joint advocacy and communication strategy, as well as to develop appropriate communication tools to promote the Sustainable Development Goals. The UN Volunteer will support communications activities of the United Nations in Uzbekistan and will be actively engaged in promotion of the UN development agenda in Uzbekistan by supporting various outreach and advocacy activities.
