Mission and objectives

As the United Nations lead agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and to build resilience to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our work is concentrated in three focus areas; sustainable development, democratic governance and peace building, and climate and disaster resilience.

UNDP’s mandate is to end poverty, build democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive institutions. We advocate for change, and connect countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life.

The UNDP Sub-Regional Hub for West and Central Africa (WACA) otherwise known as the Dakar Hub is part of the larger Regional Service Centre for Africa (RSCA) and is situated in Dakar, Senegal. It aims at strengthening resilience and sustainable development in the Sahel and WACA region by accelerating effective implementation of regional initiatives and supporting the 24 UNDP Country Offices in the region. To this effect, the Dakar Hub is well positioned to facilitate partnerships with UN regional representations in the sub-region, Regional Economic Commissions (RECs), regional and sub-regional institutions, research centers and institutes, donor representations, and other international organizations.

The Dakar Hub’s offer for the region in spread out into five key areas
1. Governance; 2) Youth; 3) Renewable Energy; 4) Climate Action & 5) Livelihoods, economic recovery, and human mobility in fragile, crisis and post crisis context.

Assignment context

The Regional Stabilization Facility (RSF) has implemented activities in the Lake Chad Basin region since 2019. The facility is managed and coordinated out of Dakar with teams based in Cameroon, Chad, Nigeria and previously in Niger as well, and works closely with the Lake Chad Basin Commission. Since 2024, the Special Multi-Partner Delivery Fund was launched to implement regional activities related to the harmonization of standards in managing exits from armed groups and to support the LCBC in its coordination role in the implementation of the Regional Strategy for the Stabilization, Recovery and Resilience for Boko Haram-Affected Areas in the Lake Chad Basin Region (RS SRR). The regional team based in Dakar has produced several knowledge products this year and is looking for a graphic designer to design these documents, including
- RSF in Comparative Perspective: Lessons Learned from Stabilization Programming in the Lake Chad Basin and Liptako-Gourma regions
- Community-Based Reconciliation and Reintegration (CBRR) in Borno State, Nigeria, A Lessons Learned Paper
- Community Dialogues on Traditional and Community-Based Justice in the Lake Chad Basin Region
- Regional Stabilization Facility Factsheet

Currently, these documents are being finalized and written in English. Once finalized, they will be translated into French. Over the next 3 months, we expect the English versions to be designed, while we also translate them into French for design later.

The designed versions should include logos and photos will be provided to the UN volunteer.
