Data Entry and Administrative Support

Background:

 

UNDP’s Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People (PAPP) was established through a resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on 20 December 1978, calling upon UNDP “to improve the economic and social conditions of the Palestinian people”. Since its establishment, UNDP/PAPP has delivered over USD 1.7 billion in development assistance to the Palestinian People. The Joint Programme recognizes the need for its partners to have robust monitoring and evaluation systems in place in order to effectively measure results, detect implementation problems and adapt accordingly to ensure that the delivery stays on track. As part of its data generating processes, the Joint Programme therefore built its internal database that consists of data gathered from direct beneficiaries of the programme activities. Data generating is a continuous process that requires daily follow up with partners and beneficiaries and assuring sound gathering tools. In order to maintain proper updating of the beneficiary's database, the joint programme intends to benefit from the intern's services, who will be mainly in charge of liaison with partners and beneficiaries, data gathering and entry to statistical software. To this end, UNDP is soliciting applications from qualified students or graduates to join the UNDP’s internship programme.
