  • Borderlands Programme Specialist

    Borderlands Programme Specialist

    Regional Programme for Africa:
    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 and programmatic work is carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, and forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. The Regional Programme for Africa is a flagship programme for UNDP that responds to challenges and opportunities facing the African Continent and to the priorities and aspirations of Africa as articulated by the African Union and other regional organs. These are convergent with the vision, areas of work, and guiding principles of the UNDP strategic plan, 2018-2021. The programme builds on the successes and responds to the lessons from past cooperation, with special attention to programme focus and effective engagement with the African Union and the regional economic communities through the development of long-term strategic partnerships.
    Borderlands Africa Programme: Africa’s Borderland Regions have attracted international attention in recent years due to fresh waves of conflict linked to violent extremist organizations including Boko Haram and Al Shabab as well as ongoing crisis in the Great Lakes and Sahel. These regions have had to deal with violent conflict, climate change, persistent poverty, marginalization, and poor governance. The challenges of Borderlands can only be understood through a regional and cross border perspective: the case for approaches to development programming and planning in Africa that are more explicitly cognizant of dynamics at a regional level is becoming critical. These ‘complex conflict clusters’ and large movement of people across borders highlight not only the security risk of instability, but also the impacts of the developmental deficit in these regions. Additionally, development partners face constraints in responding to sub-regional issues and dynamics, being closely tied to developing country government partnerships. UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks are focused on national development planning as a starting point and, as a result, they are geographically bound to state borders, when the challenges and, more importantly, the solutions are increasingly regional in nature. Many challenges facing Governments require a sub-regional and cross-border response.
    In response to this, UNDP has developed a Borderlands Programme Project Initiation Plan. This PIP is related to the Regional Programme for Africa 2018-2021 Outcome 3: Regional institutions sustain peace and build resilience to crises and shocks. The PIP will focus on ensuring that the Borderlands Programme has operational capacities to ensure a coordinated and sustainable approach to Borderlands development efforts. The team will be based out of RBA’s Thematic Hub in Nairobi, Kenya. The Borderlands Programme is expected to be fully operational by July 2020.To ensure effective operation and achievement of its objectives, the Africa Borderlands Programme will consist of three units, reporting to the Chief Technical Advisor, with the following responsibilities:

    Policy, Research and Data Unit: The PRDU will lead on policy development on Borderlands for UNDP Africa and will commission research and studies to fill significant gaps in knowledge and understanding of border areas. The Unit will host a Borderlands Innovation Lab and Sahel Lab to test and deploy innovative initiatives in the Borderlands areas and support their replication and scaling up. The Unit will have dedicated capacity for conducting multi-dimensional analysis, collect data and manage a platform for managing and collaborating on data and analysis.
    Programme Support Unit: The Programme Support Unit will provide technical support to project formulation, project monitoring and assurance regimes, and resource mobilization efforts. The unit will provide advice and training to Country Offices on integration and operationalization of cross-border programming in their portfolios, as well as ad hoc support to the resolution of programme design and operational issues negatively affecting delivery rates.
    Partnership and Thematic Advisory Unit: The Partnership and Thematic Advisory Unit leads on the strategic positioning of the Borderlands Programme and develops and implements the partnership and engagement, advocacy and resource mobilization strategies for the Programme. The Unit leads on establishing partnerships with the African Union, Regional Economic Communities, International Financial Institutions (particularly World Bank and African Development Bank), the wider UN system (particularly the PBF) and key donor partners (particularly the European Union). The unit provides substantive thematic advice on key focus areas of the Borderlands Programme, including Sustaining Peace, Stabilization, Climate-Security and Youth Employment and collaborates closely with UNDP’s Global Policy Network and Regional Bureau for Africa to identify deployable technical expertise.
