    Introduction

    Description of the Assignment:


    The EU-PH Partnership for Peace and Development in Mindanao (PPDM): Good Governance in BARMM (EU4BARMM) supports accountable governance, institutional effectiveness and access to justice in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Under Specific Output 1, UNDP supports strengthened public financial management practices and institutional capacities of the Bangsamoro Government and local government units to plan, budget, execute and oversee development priorities in a transparent, gender-responsive and climate-adaptive manner.


    Sub-output 1.1 focuses on institutional strengthening for coordinated and inclusive planning, budgeting, and expenditure tracking. Activity 1.1.1.1 calls for a joint assessment of capacity and coordination challenges affecting planning, budgeting, investment programming and expenditure tracking across BARMM ministries and offices. It is intended to inform subsequent reforms and capacity-development initiatives and to avoid duplication with existing government and development-partner support.

    The objective is to produce a joint institutional capacity and coordination diagnostic that identifies the institutional, organization, functional and coordination constraints affecting the performance of key BARMM PFM institutions and and provides prioritized recommendations to inform subsequent project activities.
    The Senior PFM Specialist will also consolidate the institution-specific mandate and PREXC analyses produced under Activity 1.1.1.2 into a coherent programme-level report, while retaining the accountability of the respective consultants for their institution-specific findings and matrices.
    Qualifications:
    • University degree in public financial management, public administration, economics, finance, organizational development, governance or a closely related field. A relevant first university degree with substantial additional experience may be accepted in lieu of an advanced degree, subject to UNDP requirements.
    • Professional certifications or specialized training in development planning, public financial management, budgeting, public investment management, governance, policy development, or results-based management are an advantage.

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.


    UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Women, individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.


    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.
