Currently the main areas of intervention are: streghtening public administration, governance, climate change, biodiversity, green finances and acces to renewal energy, and others.

Context

This assignment forms part of the broader efforts of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bolivia, which generates a diverse array of knowledge products aligned with its strategic areas of intervention.

The contribution of the volunteer will play a key role in enhancing the visibility of UNDP Bolivia’s work within regional and international forums for dialogue and advocacy.
