Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya UN-HABITAT - United Nations Human Settlements Programme Full time
Work Location

In-person/on-line, Nairobi, Kenya

Expected duration

6 months

Duties and Responsibilities

Org. Setting and Reporting The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat, is the United Nations agency for human settlements.

Based in Nairobi (Kenya), it is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all.

UN-Habitat is the lead agency within the UN system for coordinating activities in the field of human settlement development and the UN leading the collaboration with local and regional governments and their networks.

During the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York in 2015, 193 Member States, convened at the Global Summit on Sustainable Development to adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The SDGs are universal and relevant to all Member States, from both the global north and global south.

As demonstrated in the past years of implementation, it is widely acknowledged that the local level and local action are critical for the overall success of the 2030 Agenda – the SDGs need to be localized.

In this context, UN-Habitat has developed a comprehensive approach to support and empower local and regional governments to localize the SDGs, including:
(i)


Global Urban Monitoring Framework; (2) Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs); (3) SDG Cities Initiative; (4) Multilevel Governance for the SDGs; (5) Local 2030 Coalition.

SDG Localization is considered one of UN-Habitat's strategic priorities.

In this sense, the SDG Localization and Local Governments Team, under the Urban Practices Branch, is mandated to coordinate the support towards local and regional governments and SDG localization within the Agency.

To successfully deliver on the above-mentioned approach globally, the SDG Localization and Local Governments Team works through four workstreams:
(1) Technical assistance; (2) Learning and Capacity Building; (3) Political Engagement with Local and Regional Governments; (4) Advocacy and Communication. UN-Habitat's global portfolio on SDG localization is coordinated in HQ, but the delivery of the work is implemented in close cooperation with Regional and Country Offices, following the structure of the Agency. Collaboration with other units and teams within UN-Habitat is ensured to build on existing knowledge, practices, and experience. Relations with external partners are also paramount for an inclusive and effective implementation of programmes, projects and initiatives, including other UN entities, international organizations, local government associations, academia and civil society. Responsibilities Under the supervision of the Human Settlements Officer on SDG localization and local governments, the intern will contribute to the SDG Localisation team in the following ways.

  • Assist in the development of capacity-building offline and e-learning trainings.
