Junior Institutional Development and PREXC Alignment Consultant

Description of the Assignment:  

The EU-PH Partnership for Peace and Development in Mindanao (PPDM): Good Governance in BARMM (EU4BARMM) supports accountable governance, institutional effectiveness and access to justice in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Under Specific Output 1, UNDP supports strengthened public financial management practices and institutional capacities of the Bangsamoro Government and local government units to plan, budget, execute and oversee development priorities in a transparent, gender-responsive and climate-adaptive manner.

Activity 1.1.1.2 calls for mandate clarification and Program Expenditure Classification (PREXC) linkage analysis of key BARMM institutions. It will map roles and responsibilities to reduce duplication and clarify mandates and will connect organizational functions to PREXC so that societal and sectoral goals are translated into measurable organizational outcomes and outputs.

Objectives of the Assignment

The objective of this assignment is to clarify the mandates, functional responsibilities and accountabilities of the selected BARMM institutions and assess whether these are coherently reflected in their PREXC outcomes and outputs and aligned with the 2nd Bangsamoro Development Plan (2023-2028), including any officially adopted updates applicable during the assignment. The assignment will produce institution-specific mandate and PREXC matrices for the institutions assigned to the Consultant, which will serve as technical inputs to the programme-level consolidation to be undertaken by the Senior PFM Specialist under a separate engagement.

For this assignment, PREXC will serve as the analytical framework. During the inception phase, the Consultants shall confirm with the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG), the Bangsamoro Planning and Development Authority (BPDA), and Bangsamoro Women Commission, the performance management terminology and framework structures officially adopted by the Bangsamoro Government. National government PREXC elements shall not be assumed to apply automatically within BARMM. Major Final Outputs (MFOs), Programs, Activities and Projects (PAPs), indicators, and targets shall be used only where they are officially applicable or have a confirmed BARMM equivalent.

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. 

UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Women, individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.

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.
