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.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including
sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo
rigorous reference and background checks.
On 15 July 2015, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and the
Department of Budget and Management (DBM) issued the Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC)
No. 2015 - 01 or the National Evaluation Policy Framework (NEPF) of the Philippines. The JMC
is widely considered as one of the reform initiatives to engender results-orientation in the
Philippine bureaucracy. More specifically, the policy sets the framework for the conduct of
evaluation of all government programs and projects in the public sector to (1) support good
governance and evidence-based decisions; (2) promote program improvement; and (3) ensure
accountability and transparency.
The NEPF provides clear guiding principles and evaluation standards that should serve as a
guidepost in the conduct of public sector evaluation. NEDA, DBM, and the Office of the
President-Presidential Management Staff (OP-PMS) were identified as the members of the
Evaluation Task Force that will provide overall direction and coordination in the conduct of
public sector evaluation. In addition, there are currently draft bills pending in the House of
Representatives and the Senate, which support the creation of central evaluation units (CEUs) in
agencies, the regular conduct of evaluations and use of evaluation findings in the whole of
government.
NEDA and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) embarked on a partnership to
support capacity development activities for NEDA and other agencies towards a more effective
evaluation of the implementation of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP), Public Investment
Program (PIP) and Fiscal Plan at the national and sub-national levels.
The Strategic Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Project, which is funded by NEDA and is
under National Implementation Modality (NIM) with UNDP Country Office support. It was
designed to strengthen the evaluation culture in government. Through the provision of technical
advisory and project management services, the project aims to support NEDA and select
government agencies in managing and conducting evaluations and result in improved public-
sector management and official development assistance (ODA) monitoring and evaluation.
While NEDA currently performs its evaluation function through the Monitoring and Evaluation
Staff (MES), it is envisioned that NEDA shall undertake the central evaluation function in the
Philippine government. The said vision is anchored on the premise that: (a) NEDA can develop
and promulgate evaluation policies and guidelines, oversee and support government agencies in
implementing the national evaluation agenda, and assure the quality of evaluation outputs and
use of evaluation results; and, (b) NEDA is capacitated to undertake, directly or through
commissioning, thematic evaluations and lead the conduct of program and project-level
evaluations on priority investments under the PDP and the PIP.
In view of the foregoing and in line with provisions of the National Evaluation Policy
Framework (NEPF), the Strategic M&E Project has a Project Management Unit within NEDA
that serves to transition towards NEDA’s Evaluation Staff under the Monitoring and Evaluation
Group.
To further support the PMU within NEDA for effective implementation of the Stategic M&E
project, UNDP seeks to hire an Evaluation Officer who will serve as Senior Economic
Development Specialist for an initial period of six (6) months, to provide technical support to the
Central Evaluation Unit and in the performance of NEDA’s evaluation function. This position
