**Background**

**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.**

The UNDP Strategic Plan (2022-2025) recognizes the complex, changing development landscape, the impact of COVD19 pandemic and recovery, the evolving needs of its partners and the need for pragmatic responses. The Africa Finance Sector Hub (AFSH)’s work at regional and country level is aligned with the SDGs and the Africa Union Agenda 2063. The AFSH team collaborates with the broader UNDP family, the Global Policy Network, Regional Hubs in Africa and other units to establish synergies towards the broader SDGs Implementation and for greater impact.
