Among other activities, the JPO Service Centre administers the Junior Professional Officer (JPO) Programme and the Specialist Development Programme (SDP). 

For UNDP, the JPOSC acts as a one-stop shop for all activities related to the JPO and SDP Programmes, such as partner and client relations, financial and HR management, recruitment, career and learning support.

For other partner UN organizations, the JPOSC provides customized JPO Programme service packages based on the partner’s specific needs and interests. Such services range from day-to-day management and administration, to recruitment support and financial management and reporting.

The JPOSC is an experienced and trusted partner that has collaborated with UN organizations for 18 years administering their JPO Programmes.

Whether a UN organization would like to start a JPO Programme or further develop its existing JPO Programme, partnering with the JPOSC is both efficient and cost-effective.
