The multi-year regional project- Promoting a fair business environment in ASEAN is carried out by UNDP in cooperation with the British government and aims to promote fair, transparent and predictable business environments by working with both governments and the private sector in a collaborative manner.
Project Description: UNDP’s ‘Promoting a Fair Business Environment in ASEAN’ project In Asia and the Pacific, UNDP is increasingly requested to provide support services to governments and private sector on developing transparent and accountable solutions that contribute to sustainable development in the region. These services are part of UNDP’s Bangkok Regional Hub’s signature solutions on good governance and partnerships with the private sector to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
The UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub (BRH) is responsible for the implementation of regional projects, knowledge management activities and the provision of advisory services to the 24 UNDP Country Offices in Asia and the Pacific. BRH has recently launched a flagship project on “Promoting a fair business environment in ASEAN” (2018-2021) that aims to promote an enabling environment for the private sector by promoting good governance, transparency public procurement, anti-corruption and the rule of law, as well as by encouraging companies to adopt sustainable business practices. This is in line with the UNDP Strategic Plan (2018-2021), while highlights the need for UNDP to become a catalytic organization that helps governments to create an enabling environment for the private sector to align its business with the SDGs. The regional “FairBiz” project is coordinated and managed by BRH, while being implemented in at least six target countries: Viet Nam, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia.
As part of its deliverables, the FairBiz project is collaborating with the Anti-Corruption for Peaceful and Inclusive Societies (ACPIS) project managed by the UNDP Global Anti-corruption team based in Singapore to develop a self-paced online course on public procurement, which the consultant will be supporting. Thus, the consultant will be in close communication with both teams for this assignment.
The ACPIS global programme is UNDP’s main vehicle for supporting and coordinating UNDP’s anti-corruption work both internally through UNDP regional hubs and country offices and externally with other relevant partners. In addition to producing knowledge products on relevant anti-corruption topics, UNDP also coordinates the interagency anti-corruption web-portal “www.anti-corruption.org”, which provides information by various thematic areas and also online courses on anti-corruption. |
