Anunțuri de Angajare

In September 2015, the Republic of Moldova, together with 192 other member states of the United Nations, committed to implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In the following years, the Government of the Republic of Moldova drafted the new National Development Strategy (NDS) “European Moldova 2030”, which was approved by the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova in 2022. Also, the national framework for monitoring & evaluation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been approved by the Government Decision no.953/2022.

Effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda requires a functional monitoring system, which includes nationalized indicators for all SDGs. In the Republic of Moldova, the SDGs indicators were nationalized in 2016, followed by a subsequent revision in 2019. However, the Voluntary National Review that the Government of the Republic of Moldova presented in 2020 to the UN High Level Political Forum revealed that for a quarter of nationalized SDG indicators data is still missing and for a third disaggregation is insufficient to accomplish the “Leave No One Behind” (LNOB) principle of the 2030 Agenda.

In this context, the United Nations system in Moldova committed to support the government in strengthening the capacities of institutions to produce and utilize national statistics and data on specific vulnerable groups to be targeted under The Republic of Moldova - United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2023-2027 (UNSDCF), based on the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics (FPOS) and in compliance with the European Statistics Code of Practice, and in knowledgeable  reliable and disaggregated data (SDG target 17.18) for effective policies to leave no one behind.

Filling the data gap for nationalized SDGs indicators is a prerequisite for further successful implementation of 2030 Agenda. Assistance is required for the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in revising the existing Roadmap for addressing the data gaps for the nationalized SDG indicators (including child and gender related), and in drafting an Action plan that would include specific steps per main data providers for the production of the missing data for the nationalized SDG indicators.

In this context, the UN Women, in partnership with UNICEF, seeks to hire one national short-term expert that will provide support to the NBS in performing the process of information analysis for the nationalized SDG indicators (both time-series and metadata), as well as to provide a training to the institutions responsible for the reporting in accordance with GD no.953/2022.

In order to perform this assignment, the activities to be realized by the national short-term expert will be as follows:

• Develop an action plan that will present a detailed vision on the fulfilment of the assignment, methodology and breakdown of days per each deliverable.
• Provide expert assistance to the NBS in verification of the completeness and relevance of metadata and validation of data presented by other reporting institutions (administrative data providers) for the nationalised SDG indicators, as well as offer methodological support to the reporting institutions in calculation of SDG indicators.
• Revise the SDG Roadmap for redressing the data gaps for reviewed nationalized SDG indicators on the basis of the time-series data collection which should indicate the status on the current availability of data and disaggregation for the SDGs indicators, and the actions which would be needed to overcome the non-availability of data. The revised Roadmap will provide a more detailed action plan for the production of data for the missing nationalized SDG indicators and required level of disaggregation (sex, age, rural/urban area). The action plan will include specific steps per all administrative data producer.
• Revise/Finalise the Guidance/Instruction for all data reporting entities (administrative data providers and NBS) on the mechanism, requirements and timeline for presenting and disseminating data on SDG indicators and information on the achievement of sustainable development objectives
• Prepare materials for the training of the representatives of public administrations (data producers and users) on the reporting framework and process on nationalised SDG indicators.
• Provide at least two training sessions for the representatives of the institutions responsible for providing data and metadata for the nationalised SDGs as per the GD 953/2022
• Prepare the Final Report on the assignment that will present the summary of the activities that have been realized, the lessons learned from the process as well as the conclusions and recommendations for further interventions to enhance the implementation of the GD no.953/2022.
