Recaudación de fondos y apoyo al programa para el proyecto Paisajes sin plásticos

Background
  Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP:  we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.
  UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
  Job Purpose and Organizational Context  

The UNDP Costa Rica Office, in its intrinsic commitment to equality and non-discrimination, aims to strengthen a pluralistic, inclusive, diverse organizational culture that respects differences and leaves no one behind.

Therefore, it invites indigenous people, Afro-descendants, people with disabilities, migrants, LGBTQI+ individuals, and other historically excluded individuals, groups, and populations to participate in the recruitment processes.

Women in this diverse group are especially encouraged to apply.

UNDP rejects violence against women, sexual harassment, and sexual exploitation in any of its forms, as well as harassment, discrimination, and abuse of authority. Therefore, collaborators must demonstrate an impeccable record in this regard and conduct based on integrity and respect and non-discrimination.

Objective of the placement

Under the direct guidance of the Knowledge Manager of the United Nations Development Programme in Costa Rica (UNDP), the "Landscapes Without Plastics" (Paisajes Sin Plásticos) project has been launched. This initiative aims to establish river barriers to capture plastic pollution flowing towards rivers that ultimately reach the ocean. The collected plastic waste will then be transported to Pedregal, a concrete processing plant that can incorporate various types of non-valuable plastics into concrete. Beyond fundraising for these river barriers, the project seeks to engage recycling plants and collection centres in this effort by providing funding for the transportation of compacted plastics to Pedregal or by supplying compacting equipment to recycling entities to process the collected waste.

2. Program Support for UNDP Country Office particularly regarding Monitoring and Evaluation and Project Design
3. Support the development of online materials for stakeholder outreach and engagement.
4. Awareness and Communication: Support the development of public awareness campaigns to educate the community about plastic pollution and the "Paisajes Sin Plásticos" project; Assist in creating content for social media, websites, and other communication channels.
5. Support for Monitoring and Evaluation of the online fundraising platform. This includes assisting the collection of data for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
