ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT


The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability.

The mission of UNIDO, as described in the Lima Declaration adopted at the fifteenth session of the UNIDO General Conference in 2013 as well as the Abu Dhabi Declaration adopted at the eighteenth session of UNIDO General Conference in 2019, is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) in Member States.

The relevance of ISID as an integrated approach to all three pillars of sustainable development is recognized by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will frame United Nations and country efforts towards sustainable development.

UNIDO's mandate is fully recognized in SDG-9, which calls to "Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation".

The relevance of ISID, however, applies in greater or lesser extent to all SDGs.

Accordingly, the Organization's programmatic focus is structured in four strategic priorities:
Creating shared prosperity; Advancing economic competitiveness; Safeguarding the environment; and Strengthening knowledge and institutions.


Each of these programmatic fields of activity contains a number of individual programmes, which are implemented in a holistic manner to achieve effective outcomes and impacts through UNIDO's four enabling functions: (i) technical cooperation; (ii) analytical and research functions and policy advisory services; (iii) normative functions and standards and quality-related activities; and (iv) convening and partnerships for knowledge transfer, networking and industrial cooperation.

Such core functions are carried out in Departments/Offices in its Headquarters, Regional Offices and Hubs and Country Offices.


Within the Directorate, the Division of Capacity Development, Industrial Policy Advice and Statistics (TCS/CPS) is responsible for delivering the Organization's learning and capacity development and statistics programme on industrial development.

It also is responsible for supporting industrial policy-making efforts in Member States.

It is further responsible for the compilation, storage and dissemination of worldwide industrial statistics and reporting on the industrial statistics indicators of SDG 9.

Finally, it is responsible for analysing trends in industrial development and trade.

The Division's activities in collaboration with and reaching out to other organizational entities ensure that capacities built, policy advice provided, statistical data and research conducted are directly fed into the Organizations' technical cooperation programmes and projects.

The outputs of the Division concerning capacity building, policy advice, statistics and research conducted are disseminated and promoted in the form of policy briefs and other publications to Member States and the wider industrial development community, complying as such with the Organization's normative function with regard to industrial development.

The Division comprises the Units of Capacity Development and Policy Advice (CDA), Industrial Statistics and SDG 9 Reporting (ISR), and Industrial Policy Research (IPR).


This position is located under the Industrial Statistics and SDG 9 Reporting Unit (TCS/CPS/ISR), responsible for the compilation, storage and dissemination of worldwide industrial statistics and reporting on SDG9, as well as providing analyses of such data to other entities in the Organization, considering observed trends, requests from Member States and demand from the Organization's technical entities.

In doing so, it also ensures that statistical data collected are directly fed into the Organization's technical cooperation programmes and projects.


FUNCTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Under the direct supervision of the Chief Statistician and in close cooperation with other staff member of the Division, the incumbent will be responsible for performing the following tasks:

  • Contribute to the development, analysis and formulation of new statistical indicators, methodologies and approaches in the context of industrial development.
  • Contribute to the Unit's statistical data production, to deliver on UNIDO's global mandate in collecting and disseminating international industrial statistics. This includes (a) continuous improvement of statistical products and databases produced by the Unit; and (b) preparing working pape
