Dear Equator Net members,
The Leadership Development Programme (LEAD) is an entry point for young development professionals interested in a career with UNDP. The LEAD Programme provides qualified individuals with exciting opportunities to develop their experience, knowledge and skills and to serve as development practitioners in UNDP, while contributing to development work. UNDP works through 136 country offices to provide development advocacy, advice and assistance to 166 countries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Arab States, Eastern Europe, CIS, Latin America and the Caribbean. The LEAD Programme is a key element of UNDP’s succession management strategy. It aims to develop a talented pool of young professionals that is drawn upon by the Organization to replenish middle management functions in the short term and senior management functions in the long term.
The duration of the Programme is for a period of up to four years, depending on the participants’ performance. During the Programme, participants are placed in two assignments, each lasting for an approximate period of two years. To provide opportunities for participants to build their competencies and to apply their expertise, two leadership tracks are formally recognized within the Programme with progressive career benchmarks in each and crossover encouraged. The two tracks are policy advice and development management and business operations. While assignments vary depending upon specific country needs, participants work as entry-level or mid-level managers. The practice areas are Democratic Governance, Poverty Reduction and the MDGs, Crisis Prevention and Recovery, Environment & Energy, and the substantive area of HIV/AIDS.
Who can apply for the LEAD programme?
Anyone of any nationality can apply, however since the programme is geared towards recruiting young professionals, preference will be given to candidates who are under 35 years of age. Candidates should also possess a masters degree in development related studies and be proficient in English and at least one other UN language. A minimum of 3 years relevant work experience in development, crisis/post-conflict management would also be an asset.
