More than half of all livelihoods in India is primarily dependent on agriculture. A massive 54.6% of the total workforce is engaged in agricultural and allied sector activities and 57% of the rural households are directly dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. However the agricultural sector is facing various challenges like small landholding declining productivity rising input costs declining farm income the adverse impact of climate change and decline in the percentage share of workers engaged in the agriculture sector. Agricultural production shocks have huge social and financial repercussions impacting rural income levels Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and poverty rates. The Government of India’s flagship schemes Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) and KCC/MISS have become important tools to strengthen the resilience of Indian farmers.

Apart from providing comprehensive risk coverage for the entire crop cycle PMFBY also enables direct claim transfer into farmers’ accounts through e-remittance. Additionally to address agrarian distress Kisan Credit Card/ Modified Interest Subvention Scheme (MISS) was introduced by the Government of India to provide cheap and hassle-free credit for millions of farmers and to ensure continued investment into agriculture to bring in mechanisation modernise agriculture practices and eventually enhance productivity.

All selected candidates will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the global development network of the United Nations connecting countries to knowledge experience and resources to help people build a better life. UNDP is on the ground in more than 170 countries and territories supporting countries to reach their own development objectives and internationally agreed development goals building and sharing solutions in the areas of Sustainable Development Democratic Governance and Peacebuilding and Climate and Disaster Resilience. UNDP supports the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as they help shape global sustainable development for the next decade. Regional Hub UNDP’s Regional Bureau for Africa (RBA) is its largest regional bureau covering 46 countries ranging from high middle-income economies to least developed countries as well as countries in crisis and post-crisis situations. UNDP works with its national counterparts in the Africa region to help them implement national development priorities and achieve their national development goals. Its work is guided by global and regional development and normative frameworks to which countries in Africa are signatories including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Africa Union’s Agenda 2063. To make this possible UNDP’s Regional Bureau for Africa counts with a core capacity of highly qualified professionals located in its headquarters in New York and in its regional and sub-regional offices in Addis Ababa Dakar Nairobi and Pretoria. RBA staff provide both substantive and managerial support to UNDP’s operations in the Africa region enhancing its standards of efficiency and accountability providing innovative region-wide strategic thinking and policy analysis and engaging in advocacy and partnerships development helping translate corporate and RBA strategies and goals into development impact and results on the ground. The Dakar hub operates as a sub-regional office of RBA covering West and Central Africa (WCA). It provides to 23 country offices in the WCA sub-region with dedicated management support as well as policy and programming advisory services in key RBA priority areas bringing this expertise closer to UNDP’s operational needs in the field.

In addition the Dakar sub-regional hub hosts RBA’s Sahel team which provides dedicated support to country offices in that subregion as part of its contribution to the UN’s strategy for the Sahel. Country Office UNDP Country Programme for Senegal 2019-2023 aims to support the government's efforts in its emergence process to achieve the SDGs through three focused priorities: (a) Governance for achieving the SDGs; (b) Strengthening the dynamics of economic and social development through the promotion of sustainable and inclusive growth; and (c) The sustainable management of the environment and natural resources. The combination of these programs is part of a holistic approach to development that will enable UNDP to contribute to the expected changes in support of the implementation of public policies in Senegal. The mitigating the effects of climate change preserving productive capital and the establishment of basic infrastructure work together to integrate the different layers of the population into the economic circuits. Similarly building capacity for planning implementing and monitoring-evaluating public policies at national and local levels contributes to the sustained integration of all sectors in the national SDG discourse. UNDP is supporting the adjusted and accelerated plan (PAP2A) 2021-2023 under Covid-19 situation emphasizing sectors with high potential for economic growth and social inclusion. The country office is also in the process of developing its 2024-2028 country programme. Over the recent years the country office delivery target has dropped from $35.8m in 2018 to $6.8m in 2019 $9.5m in 2020 $8.5m in 2021 and $8.5m in 2022. This decrease is linked to the end of the PUDC and induces important consequences on the country office staffing and financial sustainability. Senegal had embarked in 2018 in a change management processes postponed several times over a 3-year period. Staff movements (GSSU retirement voluntary departures) made a change management process unnecessary. While it was necessary for the country office to ensure its financial sustainability it was agreed that changes to the structure of the CO if needed would be made as part of the roll-out of the 2024-2028 country programme. The main challenge for the country office remains its resource mobilization to ensure its financial sustainability.
