The Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is undertaking an Evaluation of UNDP support to private sector development and structural transformation. The Evaluation will maintain a two-fold accountability and learning goal. It will provide UNDP Management, its Executive Board, and other stakeholders with an assessment of results achieved, while reflecting on good practices and lessons learnt to enhance UNDP’s continued engagement in this area. The evaluation will be presented to the Annual Session of the UNDP Executive Board in June 2024, and it will focus on the period 2016-2022.
The evaluation will examine the relevance, coherence, effectiveness and sustainability of UNDP support to private sector development and transformation at different levels: macro (analyses and policy/regulatory framework), meso (institutional development, value chain, and trade), and downstream (asset provision, skills development, and access to finance). The evaluation will pay dedicated attention to MSMEs operating in the agri-business, manufacturing, and retail sectors, which employ the largest number of individuals in developing countries.
IEO is hiring an Agriculture and Green Growth Expert to assess UNDP results in this area, and factors affecting performance. Within a larger team, the consultant will assess the effectiveness of UNDP programmes in promoting the sustainable development of agri-businesses, including through the promotion of green practices, the reduction of post-harvest losses, and the fair commercialization of agricultural outputs.
