| Duties | Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a 'leave no one behind' approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. The Government of Uzbekistan has taken significant steps towards improving the education sector through a range of initiatives. Building on its 2017-2021 Action Strategy, the Government developed an Education Sector Plan that took into account the latest laws and presidential degrees passed since 2019, all of which are captured in the latest development strategy of the New Uzbekistan for 2022-2026. The government of Uzbekistan with development partners committed to education reforms in 2023-2026 under the National Partnership Compact which involved extensive consultations and engagement with stakeholders from the Government, civil society, private, and education sectors. The numerous reforms in the education sector have created momentum for greater alignment and prioritization in education sector-related investments.
