Org. Setting and Reporting
This position is located in the Office of the Director, Economic Analysis and Policy Division (EAPD), Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA). The Inter-regional Adviser (IRA) will work under the direct supervision and overall guidance of the Director. The Division is mandated to provide research and policy analysis on global macroeconomic trends and long-term development issues to the General Assembly and Economic and Social Council, to support Member States in their efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. More information on EAPD can be found on https://www.un.org/development/desa/dpad/. The 2023 SDG Summit reconfirmed the need for concrete, integrated, and targeted actions to fulfil the vision of the 2030 Agenda and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which are universal, people-centred and integrate the three dimensions of sustainable development. The Pact for the Future also commits to take transformative actions towards these objectives. The services of the IRA aim to ensure the provision of high-level technical expertise, the transfer of knowledge from global entities to Governments on policy-related issues and development strategies and the formulation, assessment or evaluation of projects and programmes. The IRA is a member of DESA’s IRA Network. The services of the IRA need to comply with intergovernmental guidance on the use of the Regular Programme on Technical Cooperation (RPTC), when appropriate, and with strategies and guidance concerning capacity development activities endorsed by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and supported by the Capacity Development Programme Management Office (CDPMO).
