Job Description

Background

• Tier 1: UNDP/ UNCDF/ UNV staff holding permanent (PA) and fixed term (FTA) appointments (defined as “internal” candidates)
• Tier 2: UNDP/ UNCDF/ UNV staff holding temporary appointments (TA) and personnel on regular PSA contracts
• Tier 3: All other contract types from UNDP/UNCDF/UNV and other agencies, and other external candidates

UNDP Bahrain, in partnership with the Supreme Council for Environment (SCE) and with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), is implementing a portfolio of three interlinked biodiversity projects: the Global Biodiversity Framework Early Action Support (GBF-EAS) Project, the update of BahrainNational Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) and preparation of the 7th National Report, and Umbrella programme to design a national Biodiv

ersity Finance Plan (GBFP). These projects aim to support Bahrain in achieving its commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), align national policies and monitoring systems with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), and strengthen financing for biodiversity conservation.

In recent decades, biodiversity finance tools and solutions have demonstrated their importance for achieving biodiversity goals and broader sustainable development objectives. Biodiversity Finance Plans have become increasingly recognised as a relevant tool to help countries to identify and fill the biodiversity finance gap, including through the work of the Biodiversity Finance Initiative. The GBF-EAS project focuses on early action to align Bahrain national targets with the GBF through support to planning, policy review, monitoring, and finance. The NBSAP/7th National Report project complements this by updating the national strategy, reporting progress to the CBD, and consolidating stakeholder consultation. The GBFP supports countries to design a national Biodiversity Finance Plan.

The biodiversity finance plan itself consists of a series of actions with the aim to significantly scale up available funding, green or phase out harmful finance flows and improve the effectiveness of available expenditures. The programme allows for active sharing of experiences across countries and includes a knowledge sharing platform and the provision of continuous technical support to country teams. Together, these initiatives advance Bahrain environmental commitments and institutional capacities in a coherent, coordinated manner.
