DETAILS
ORGANISATION MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
UNDP has been providing development assistance to the people of Myanmar
since the 1950s. UNDP operated under a restricted mandate from 1993 until
2012 implementing the Human Development Initiative programme which
provided assistance directly to communities and individuals for improving their
lives and livelihoods. In 2013, UNDP began working through two country
programmes, and between 2018 and 2020 the focus shifted to direct support
to the Myanmar Government. Following the military takeover in 2021, UNDP
Myanmar pivoted to directly target the extremely vulnerable by meeting their
basic needs and supporting community recovery, through the Community First
Programme: 2021-2023. UNDP Myanmar will expand operations from 57 to 77
townships across Myanmar, including in Rakhine, and areas controlled by SAC,
EAOs and those under mixed control. We have and extensive presence with 4
field offices covering 11 states and regions, with offices in Mon State -
covering Mon and the southeastern regions including Bago – and Kachin and
Shan states. UNDP also has a field office in Rakhine State and a sub-office in
northern Rakhine. UNDP Myanmar works with an extensive network of local
CSO, CBO, grassroots partners and community leaders established by UNDP
under the Human Development Initiative which started in 1993. These
networks remain operational, and UNDP has been able to quickly connect and
deliver support through them despite rapid changes in Myanmar’s political and
social landscape.

The current Conditions of Service for national UN Volunteers will apply to UN
Community Volunteers as an interim measure until a full review of the national
Conditions of Service is undertaken, with the following modifications as per
Interim Policy Note on UN Community Volunteers.
UN Community Volunteers are expected to be recruited locally and work within
their community, they are therefore not expected to travel to the duty station
and are not eligible for a settling in grant. In addition, UN Community
Volunteers should not require reintegration back into their locales upon
completion of their service. Therefore, there is no entitlement to a
resettlement allowance.
The applicable volunteer living allowance is provided monthly to cover housing,
utilities and normal cost of living expenses. Life, health and permanent
disability insurance are included.
Furthermore, in non-family duty stations that belong to hardship categories D
or E, as classified by the ICSC, a Well-Being Differential (WBD) will be provided
