El PNUD trabaja en cerca de 170 países y territorios, ayudando a reducir la pobreza, las desigualdades y la exclusión. Apoyamos a los países a desarrollar políticas, capacidades de liderazgo, de asociación y a fortalecer sus instituciones, además de crear resiliencia con el fin de obtener resultados concretos en materia de desarrollo.

La Organización de las Naciones Unidas tiene presencia en Venezuela desde 1954 a través del Programa Ampliado de las Naciones Unidas para la Asistencia Técnica, alianza que a partir de 1971 y por invitación del Gobierno nacional, se convirtió en el Programa de la Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD).

Las funciones del PNUD en Venezuela tienen como base el prestar asistencia técnica a través de iniciativas y experiencias exitosas orientadas al desarrollo de capacidades y la gestión del conocimiento con un enfoque multidimensional; generar capacidades nacionales y transferir conocimientos desde y hacia Venezuela a través de la cooperación Sur- Sur; promover alianzas entre los diferentes actores del desarrollo para la integración multidimensional de áreas temáticas en la construcción de medios de vida sostenibles, acceso y calidad de servicios básicos y gestión integral de riesgos.

In the current context, the country faces a complex reality characterized by various political, economic, social, humanitarian, and security challenges at the local, national, and regional levels. These dynamics not only pose potential risks to the country's stability and long-term development, but also to the delivery of the United Nations in support of these.

In response to the ongoing challenges, the Peace and Development Team actively supports the Resident Coordination Office and UNDP by delivering comprehensive analytical, technical, and advisory assistance, alongside facilitating and accompanying UN engagement with national authorities to ensure conflict-sensitive programming and integrating the triple nexus approach through a developmental lens.

Given the current volatile context, systematic and in-depth analysis of Venezuela is crucial. Continuous context monitoring and the generation of analytical inputs are essential to strengthening the capacity to identify development trends and understand their implications for UN programming. These efforts enable the UN to assess how the evolving situation may affect programmatic implementation, contributing to informed decision-making and thought leadership from a crisis prevention and sustaining peace perspective to adapt effectively and maintains its strategic position in a complex environment.

By providing relevant tools and actionable insights, the Peace and Development Team ensures the UN Country Team is equipped to address emerging challenges, identify opportunities for recovery and sustainable development, promote social cohesion, safeguard civic and humanitarian space, and foster cross-sectoral engagement.

Under the direct supervision of the Peace and Development National Officer, the UN Youth Volunteer will undertake the following tasks, which include, but are not limited to:

-Support continuous monitoring of media: Conduct thorough monitoring of both national and international media outlets, gather and transcribe statements, press releases, and relevant documents for analysis.
