UNDP is offering a remote opportunity for a Facilitation and Learning Specialist in 2025. This home-based role provides an excellent chance to lead capacity building, innovation, and global knowledge sharing with competitive pay and benefits. The UNDP’s Financial Resilience in Agriculture (FRA) initiative, under the IRFF, has created an innovative facilitation methodology to drive system-level change in agricultural insurance policymaking. After a successful pilot, FRA aims to refine and expand this approach by developing practical tools, coaching mechanisms, and scaling strategies. To achieve this, UNDP seeks a contractor to lead capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge development for sustainable implementation across national and regional levels.
