Today Ukraine is facing its most serious challenges since achieving independence in 1991. The ongoing war has already resulted in significant loss of life, unprecedented displacement, internally and towards neighbouring countries, and devastating destruction of infrastructure. The UN Ukraine Flash Appeal shows that at least 15.7 million people are in immediate need of emergency assistance and protection. Early projections indicate that if the war should continue in the medium to long term, up to 90% of the Ukrainian population could face poverty and extreme economic vulnerability, and the country’s socio-economic progress could be set-back by almost 20 vears. In the short-term, 62% of the population is at high risk of falling into poverty. Ukraine’s economy is set to shrink by 45% this year due to the war and even with a moderate recovery in the next few years, by 2025 the GDP would still only be two-thirds of the pre-war GDP in 2021.
In 2018, the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in Ukraine accounted for more than 81 percent of all employment creating 77.4 percent of jobs. The share of value added increased from 64.3 percent in 2018 to 70.2 percent in 2020 meaning that MSMEs must have a voice in shaping the business environment in Ukraine. Yet MSMEs are those that are mostly affected by incomplete reforms and fluid frameworks. In the context of the “Strengthening MSME Business Membership Organizations in Ukraine: Phase II (2019-2023)” Project, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is intervening for 48 months to design and deliver tailored capacity development support to selected BMOs (Business Membership Organizations) representing different macro regions and sectors of Ukraine to help strengthen their institutional/organizational/financial capacities to represent interests of the private sector and facilitate a more active, responsive, professional and policy-oriented dialogue between public and private sectors. The Project is also addressing important cross-cutting challenges for economic development in Ukraine such as women’s economic empowerment and promoting sustainable practices among MSMEs.
UNDP Ukraine invites applications from highly qualified, motivated and experienced Ukrainian professionals for the post of the Administrative Assistant.
