Introduction

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is the United Nations’ global development network. It advocates for change and connects countries to knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build a better life for themselves. It provides expert advice, training, and grants support to developing countries, with increasing emphasis on assistance to the least developed countries. It promotes technical and investment cooperation among Nations.

Headquartered in New York City, the status of UNDP is that of an executive board within the United Nations General Assembly. The UNDP is funded entirely by voluntary contributions from UN member states. The organization operates in 177 countries, where it works with local governments to meet development challenges and develop local capacity.

Background

In addition, he/she will facilitate for medical evacuations and cooperate with headquarter offices on all related matters and ensures consistent delivery of high-quality medical services to the UNCT.
