UNDP is the UN’s global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 166 countries, working with national counterparts on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. UNDP is a founding cosponsor of the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), a partner of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and a co-sponsor of several other international health partnerships. UNDP’s work on HIV, health and development leverages UNDP’s core strengths and mandates in human development, governance and capacity development to complement the efforts of specialist health-focused UN agencies. UNDP delivers three types of support to countries in HIV, health and development. More specifically, UNDP provides support to domestic stakeholders, including relevant government officials, parliamentarians and civil society actors in decisions that concern intellectual property protection and public health. a critical aspect of UNDP’s work includes the production of knowledge tools through the authoring, commissioning, publishing and disseminating analyses, reports, position and policy papers, scholarly materials, and other resources. To this end and in preparation for the 10th anniversary of the WTO’s Doha Declaration on TRIPS and public health, UNDP is commissioning a paper to determine the impact of the Doha Declaration on access to essential medicines in developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs) and is recruiting a consultant for this assignment.
