Mission and objectivesUnited Nations Development Programme (UNDP), a key UN member since 1945 and active in Iraq since 1976, is dedicated to aiding the country's transition to stability and reform. Aligned with the government's vision, UNDP strives for a resilient Iraq by addressing social, economic, environmental, and political challenges. One of its primary goals is to fortify institutions, ensuring they provide inclusive, evidence-based, and gender-responsive services, with a focus on vulnerable populations. This involves promoting transparent, accountable governance to safeguard the rights of marginalized groups and foster citizen trust in the state. The Support to Justice Initiatives curbing Corruption and promoting Commercial Dispute Resolution (ACAI) project, part of the governance portfolio, aims to combat corruption and advance commercial dispute resolution in Iraq. It has five key outcomes: refining the legal and strategic framework for anti-corruption, boosting the capabilities of the justice sector to handle corruption cases, strengthening legislation and institutions for commercial dispute resolution, garnering parliamentary support for anti-corruption reforms, and enhancing transparency and public accountability. The Trial Monitoring (TM) Programme, falling under output 2, specifically focuses on monitoring high-level corruption cases in Iraq's specialized courts.
ContextThe United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in collaboration with the Statistics and Geographic Information Systems Commission – Ministry of Planning, has launched an initiative to strengthen citizen feedback mechanisms for SDG Indicator 16.6.2 (Proportion of population satisfied with their last experience of public services).
Task DescriptionWe are seeking 50 enthusiastic youth volunteers to help disseminate an online survey among young people in Baghdad (ages 15–29). Each volunteer will be responsible for ensuring at least 100 completed survey responses from youth. Each volunteer is expected to: • Disseminate the survey link widely among youth networks in Baghdad. • Track and report outreach efforts and completed responses (minimum 100 per volunteer). Your efforts will contribute to improving public service delivery and ensuring youth voices are heard in shaping governance.
