People Management & Organizational Solutions
UNDP provides innovative people management and organizational solutions on behalf of 35+ UN entities, which are underpinned by UNDP's People for 2030 Strategy. From comprehensive talent programmes to agile contractual modalities and data analytics solutions, UNDP's strategic HR and talent services help clients source, deploy, and develop their workforce for effective results.
What we offer:
| Junior Professional Officer (JPO) Programme Our Junior Professional Officer Services Centre (JPOSC) offers end-to-end talent sourcing, service delivery, and administration of the JPO Programmes of UNDP and 11 other UN partners: UNAIDS, UNCDF, UNFPA , UNOPS, UNRWA, UN Tourism, UNU, UNV, UN Women, WHO, and WIPO. By outsourcing the administration of their JPOS to the JPOSC, our partners gain time and efficiency, allowing them to focus on strategic activities, while still securing a proportion of the overhead income. |
| Professional Personnel Services Agreement (PPSA) The Partner Personnel Services Agreement (PPSA) is UNDP's non-staff contract solution, designed to help UN partners engage talent quickly and efficiently. More than 14,000 people currently work under Personnel Services Agreements—2,000 of them as PPSA holders for partner entities, alongside the broader PSA community across UNDP, UNCDF, and UNV. The PPSA contract solution offers: Agility & Flexibility: Seamlessly engage national or international personnel for short-term or continuous assignments, whether office-based or remote/home-based. Cost-Effectiveness & Transparency: Benefit from a standardized, predictable cost structure, aligned with UN System best practices.

| Strategic HR Services UNDP provides HR solutions to over 50 agency partners. From HR policy advisory services to developing dashboards for workforce analytics, these services help clients manage non-staff contracts and deploy JPOs for effective results. |
| People Data & Analytics Solutions The need for reliable, executive-ready workforce HR analytics is more important than ever. UNDP provides the expertise, methodology, tools, and solutions needed to turn existing workforce data into meaningful business intelligence. Entities do not need to invest in building a dedicated analytics team, developing complex reporting infrastructure, or starting from scratch. We develop automated Power BI dashboards and analytical solutions that transform workforce data into clear, decision-ready insights, help reducing manual effort while strengthening accuracy and compliance. UNDP’s support is scalable, cost-efficient, and designed to enhance data quality, reporting consistency, and strategic workforce planning. Why partner with us?
