UNDP National Individual Consultant for Philanthropic Foundations Project

United Nations Development Programme
 

National Individual Consultant for Philanthropic Foundations Project
 

Background: Over the past decade, the Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs, have been critical in mobilizing resources and driving real progress on some of the world’s most pressing problems. 

With the MDGs’ deadline of 2015 fast approaching, discussion over what should succeed these goals known as the “Post-2015 development agenda” is an important collective undertaking for anyone concerned with international cooperation. 

As this agenda, also referred to as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is being negotiated, there has been a push to utilize international funding for development more effectively through enabling innovative models of collaboration by a wider group of partners and stakeholders.
 

The Post-2015 Partnership Platform for Philanthropy (the Platform) project, focuses on philanthropy’s input into this developmental landscape by helping grant makers to better understand the opportunities for engaging in the global development goals processes. 

It will help to build a collective voice for philanthropy in the global discussions on the Post-2015 agenda, something welcomed by many governments. 

The project will also assist governments and the UN system in comprehending the added value of philanthropy’s direct engagement, including amplifying the voice and action of their grantees and partners in determining and achieving international targets and strategies.

Objective: The objective of the Individual Consultant is to provide support to the development of the platform activities in Kenya.
