Host entity: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) - Governance, Rule of Law and Peacebuilding (GRP)

Application deadline: 28/10/2026

Mission and objectives

UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy.
The Governance, Rule of Law, and Peacebuilding Hub, a joint endeavor of the Crisis Bureau (CB) and the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS), integrates work across governance, rule of law and peacebuilding (GRP) to substantially improve UNDP positioning and resource mobilization, undertake global advocacy; advance principled and effective solutions that support accountable, inclusive and effective governance, prevent and respond to crisis, and enable peacebuilding and early recovery from crisis, whilst addressing underlying risks.

Assignment context

Technology has become one of the most powerful tools in preventing and combating corruption, and AI, in particular, offers transformative potential. However, AI is not a standalone solution—it remains a tool whose effectiveness depends entirely on human oversight, ethical implementation, and data integrity. Without proper governance, AI can be manipulated, reinforce systemic biases, or even be used to conceal corruption rather than expose it. Despite its importance, the comprehensive global analysis on how the government is using AI for anti-corruption is lacking. UNDP has drafted a global report on AI and anti-corruption, and looking for an editor who can ensure that the text is in line with UNDP editing manual for final publication.
