Organization Mission

UNDP partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in 177 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations.

Context

The Archipelagic and Island States (AIS) Forum, launched in 2018 to address SDG 14, aims to advance the conservation and sustainable utilization of oceans, seas, and marine resources. Recognized as pivotal for combating climate change and fostering social and economic sustainability, the Forum welcomes participation from all island and archipelagic nations, irrespective of their size or developmental status. By fostering collaboration between developed and developing countries, it taps into diverse expertise and resources, filling a previous gap in global platforms. Moreover, the Forum targets challenges like sustainable ocean resource management, climate resilience, pollution control, emergency response, and fisheries sustainability. Through research, entrepreneurship support, and international collaboration initiatives, it seeks to expedite sustainable development and bolster resilience against shocks. Key objectives include strengthening commitments to collaborative action, cultivating partnerships across sectors, advocating integrated maritime governance, and complementing existing efforts. Presently, the AIS – ÚNDP is seeking online volunteers to support with design, communications, and social media to spearhead communication efforts aligned with the project’s objectives. The appointed volunteers will provide comprehensive support to AIS – UNDP project’s communications, facilitating strategic endeavours through various communication output, such as social media, website content and graphic design, operating under the AIS project through UNDP Indonesia.
