In the aftermath of Beirut explosion and in response to COVID19 outbreak, the UNDP office in Lebanon is providing support the Lebanese people to recover the multi-levelled economic, social, environmental, and financial shocks. Towards this end, the UNDP team is working on several tracks to: i) mitigate the immediate implications of the crises, ii) manage the recovery phase; iii) and provide the Lebanese society with better tools, mechanisms and policies to strengthen the country’s resilience to shocks and crises. UNDP support spans wide area of initiatives including carrying out relevant impact assessments, providing implementation support, performing advocacy, connecting with donors, and supporting central and local governments to respond to and sustain shocks.
One of the core aspects to be addressed, within the context of the multi-layered crisis, is the economic and social fragility of Lebanon, and the inability of the fragmented social protection systems and policies to properly respond to the crisis and mitigate its implication.
Towards this end, a senior economist is needed to support the UNDP Country Office and to be part of the economic support team guiding UNDP’s programmes and interventions.
The UNV shall have the following tasks and responsibilities:
• Update and maintain macro-economic, social, fiscal and financial datasets
• Perform data crunching and data analysis in variety of socio-economic domains
• Contribute to the preparation of policy briefs, background papers, concept notes, reports, proposals and factsheets.
• Prepare minutes of meetings and briefings whenever needed
• Carry out research in various economic areas including poverty, productive sectors, social protection, public finance, funding flows, etc.
• Review documents and papers and provide comments
• Initiate and maintain links with partners including Government agencies, NGOs, and programmes.
• Respond to ad hoc requests forwarded by UNDP higher management
