Types of opportunities
UNDP hires personnel through international or local recruitment. It applies
several types of contracts depending on a number of criteria, such as legal
basis and duration of services. The standard types of contracts are:
Fixed Term Appointment (FTA) – nationals and international;
Temporary Assignment (TA) – nationals and international;
Service Contracts (SC) – nationals only;
Personnel Services Appointment – nationals and international.
Fixed Term Appointment (FTA). FTA is concluded for the staff members
contracted under Staff Rules. Salary scale for national staff is based on the
best prevailing local conditions. Salary scale for international staff is
based on the best comparator civil service.
Temporary Appointment (TA). TA is concluded for the staff members under TA
Guidelines. Maximum duration of the contract is 364 days. Salary scale for
national staff is based on the best prevailing local conditions; Salary scale
for international staff is based on the best comparator civil service.
National Personnel Service Agreement (NPSA). NPSA is a contract modality,
established by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in order to
engage the services of individuals to provide a time-limited service to UNDP
under a service-based contract. The duration of the NPSA contract is from 1
day to 6 months (short-term contract) or from 6 months-to 1 year (regular
contract). The two types of contracts have the flexibility of being both
office and/or home-based.
International Personnel Services Agreement (IPSA). IPSA is a contract
modality, established by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in
order to engage the services of individuals to provide a time-limited service
to UNDP under a service-based contract. An IPSA Holder is normally a person
engaged to perform specialist functions in a country other than their home
country or place of permanent residence.An IPSA may be issued for up to 12
months at a time, and may be renewed for up to 4 years, however, not to exceed
the maximum duration of the project. The maximum period for the use of an IPSA

Notice
UNDP is currently aware of fictitious vacancy announcements that are being
circulated through email messages and different web sites. The purpose of such
fraudulent activity is to deceive an individual and convince him/her to send a
"registration/visa/booking/other fee" prior to "hiring". UNDP does not charge
a fee at any stage of its recruitment process (application, interview,
processing, training, visa or other fee). Since logos, emblems, forms, names
and addresses are publicly available and can be easily copied or reproduced,
applicants are strongly advised to take particular care in applying for
vacancies, including undertaking all appropriate measures to protect against
such advanced fee frauds. If you believe that you became a victim of such
fraud, you may wish to report it to local law enforcement authorities for
appropriate action.
