**Background**

**Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and **inspiring stories.**

UNDP - the Government of Viet Nam partnership officially started in 1978, when there was a very limited foreign presence in the country. UNDP has been working closely with the Government of Viet Nam and other partners to expand the choices for people and ensure that everyone has equal access to opportunities to realize their full potential.

During the past decade, Viet Nam attained low middle-income country status as a result of impressive economic growth. However, progress in social development, including education and health, has been less rapid contributing to slower growth in human development, indicating remaining governance system challenges to keep pace with economic development. UNDP Viet Nam’s governance work focuses on four main pillars: human rights, rule of law and access to justice; innovative, agile and responsive governance; diversity and inclusion; and peace and security.

In 2022, the Youth Empowerment Project in Asia and the Pacific (YEP-AP) was approved as a regional programme in the Asia-Pacific region. It aims to invest in and empower young people across the region, to accelerate the implementation of SDGs. YEP-AP believes that youth can be leaders who create inclusive and equitable societies free of discrimination and can make a positive difference by taking on the challenges through social innovation, mobilising their peers and communities, and creating adaptive and innovative solutions. YEP-AP focuses on youth political, social, and economic empowerment by building the capacities of young people and key stakeholders and creating safe, inclusive, and enabling environments for youth participation and civic engagement, especially for women and those from marginalised groups.

YEP-AP in the Viet Nam plans to deliver selected outputs and activities based on the regional programme document, especially the Movers Programme, a grassroots movement that aims to equip youth with the tools to take action in their community by raising awareness about the SDGs, 21st century skills and entrepreneurship. With UNDP’s strong network of partners dedicated to youth empowerment and a mission to leave no one behind, it aims to reach the most vulnerable groups and to empower them by using a training-of-trainer approach.

Since 2020, the Movers Programme in Viet Nam has reached over 13,200 workshop participants and 421 volunteer sign-ups nationwide, 61% of which are female. Through its curriculum, the Movers Programme empowers young Vietnamese with 21st century skills and a working knowledge the SDGs and its cross-cutting themes. This is an ongoing effort to expand the YEP-AP community across the region.

With this context, UNDP Viet Nam will engage a Youth Engagement and Governance Coordinator who will act as the coordinator for the Movers Programme in Viet Nam. As coordinator, responsibilities include expanding the network of partners, strengthening the community engagement, mobilize financial and in-kind resources, as well as supporting the implementation of YEP-AP at national level (Youth Co:Lab, Youth Empowerment in Climate Action Platform (YECAP), Youth Digitalization for Employability and Entrepreneurship Program (YDEEP) and other youth initiatives of the country office.

The Youth Engagement and Governance Officer will report to the Head of Inclusive Growth Unit of UNDP Viet Nam with the close collaboration with BRH Youth Unit, UNDP country office Youth Unit, and other key parties. The success of the project depends on the timely delivery of each component. The Hiring Manager should ensure timely identification of potential risks and signal any delays in deliverables. The contract will be effective immediately upon signature by UNDP.
