The current strategy builds on this strong foundation, aligning with Egypt Vision 2030 to advance a green, inclusive, and resilient development pathway driven by innovation and collaboration. </p><br> <p>As a strategic partner, UNDP Egypt plays a central role in accelerating progress toward the SDGs, with three pillars of support: Inclusive Growth and Digital Transformation<u>;</u>, Governance, Social Inclusion, and Gender; and Climate and Nature. Drawing on global expertise and grounded in local experience, the Country Office works closely with partners on policy advisory and programmatic support, and bringing stakeholders together across the spectrum including government, private sector, academia and CSOs to address complex challenges and take advantage of opportunities. </p><br> <p>To remain agile within a rapidly changing development landscape, UNDP Egypt is implementing an organizational change process that aims to transition to a structure and financially viable business model that is more effectively and efficiently able to deliver on evolving national priorities. </p><br> <p>It is guided by four core principles: </p><br> <ul> <li>Retaining key capacities while investing in new expertise </li> <li>Strengthening and integrating quality assurance and programme finance </li> <li>Standardization and optimization across the teams / functions </li> <li>Financial sustainability of core structure - with flexibility for expansion / contraction </li> </ul> <p>This restructuring positions UNDP Egypt to remain a lean, responsive, and financially sustainable partner, one that is equipped to deliver integrated development solutions that support the country’s long-term aspirations. </p><br> <p>Within this reform context, the Programme Management Support Unit (PMSU) serves as a cornerstone of the Country Office’s new operating model. The PMSU functions as the institutional backbone for programme quality, financial integrity, and results performance, ensuring that development interventions are strategically coherent, operationally sound, and compliant with corporate standards.</p><br> <p>By providing centralized leadership on Programme Finance, Results-Based Management (RBM), monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and risk management, the PMSU strengthens portfolio oversight across the full programme cycle—from design and budgeting to implementation, reporting, and closure. The unit ensures systematic quality assurance, robust financial oversight, and proactive risk management in line with UNDP’s Programme and Operations Policies and Procedures (POPP) and Internal Control Framework.</p><br> <p>Through strengthened analytics, evidence generation, and compliance systems, the PMSU enhances organizational effectiveness and accountability, enabling programme teams to focus on delivering transformative results for Egypt while safeguarding UNDP’s integrity and credibility with partners and donors.</p><br> <p><b>Position Purpose:</b></p><br> <p>The Programme Support Analyst of the Programme Management Support Unit (PMSU) serves as the Country Office’s central authority on programme quality assurance, performance management, and financial integrity. The role ensures that UNDP Egypt’s portfolio is strategically aligned with the UNDP Strategic Plan and the Country Programme Document (CPD), while delivering measurable impact in line with corporate standards.</p><br> <p>Reporting directly to the Deputy Resident Representative, Programme Support Analyst plays a critical role in linking programme, operations, and partnerships functions to strengthen delivery performance, optimize resource utilization, and ensure audit readiness and compliance. S/he ensures that resources are strategically allocated, efficiently utilized, and directly linked to results and impact. </p><br> <p>The Programme Support Analyst works in close collaboration with Programme Team Leads, Operations, and the Policy and Partnerships function to ensure that programme design and delivery are fully aligned with financing strategies and partnership priorities. The role provides the analytical and quality assurance backbone that enables effective engagement with donors and government counterparts, translating strategic priorities into bankable and results-oriented programmes.</p><br> <p>The Programme Support Analyst also collaborates closely with the Communications function to ensure that verified results and impact are effectively communicated, enhancing UNDP Egypt’s visibility, credibility, and positioning as a trusted development partner.</p><br> <p>UNDP adopts a portfolio approach to accommodate changing business needs and leverage linkages across interventions to achieve its strategic goals. Therefore, UNDP personnel are expected to work across units, functions, teams, and projects in multidisciplinary teams in order to enhance and enable horizontal collaboration.</p><br> <p><u>Incumbent is expected to display managerial innovation, initiative, and a strong client orientation that encourages and rewards excellence in programme delivery and implementation.
