Online Volunteer for Research and Information Support on Resource Mobilization

Host entity: UNDP

Application deadline: 31/08/2026

Mission and objectives

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is committed to helping Uzbekistan build a modern, prosperous, democratic society, based on responsive government systems, people prepared for future challenges and opportunities, and an inclusive green economy.

UNDP first became active in Uzbekistan in 1993, and has over subsequent decades implemented hundreds of projects alongside the national government, business, civil society and academic. We are proud to be both Uzbekistan’s primary development partner and a leading member of the UN Family.

Through the continued trust of the Government of Uzbekistan, close collaboration with our fellow UN agencies and the support of national and international donors, UNDP has helped build Uzbekistan’s market economy, modernize its government, and improve the lives of its most vulnerable citizens. In addition, UNDP has helped Uzbekistan tackle some of the most prominent ecological and environmental challenges it has faced over past years.
The directions of UNDP’s work in Uzbekistan reflect the current UN Country Programme Document (CPD) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for 2021-2025. They also align with the national Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the 2030 Agenda, and Uzbekistan’s Development Strategy for 2017-2021. Throughout 2020 UNDP helped address the national health and socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and is continuing to actively assist in Uzbekistan’s inclusive, green recovery.

Assignment context

UNDP Uzbekistan's Inclusive Growth Cluster supports national efforts to promote inclusive and sustainable growth, including employment generation, entrepreneurship, improved livelihoods, and stronger financing for development. The programme works with national counterparts and partners to identify opportunities that can strengthen development impact and support progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
The support of Online Volunteers will contribute to the Cluster's outreach, partnership development, and resource mobilization efforts. Online Volunteers will not be requested to make donations in-kind or financial contributions, or to solicit donations from third parties.
