GPN ExpRes Roster

To enhance its support for Country Offices (COs) and national stakeholders in implementing Global Fund programmes, the UNDP Global Fund Partnership and Health Systems Team (GFPHST), in coordination with the GPN ExpRes Roster Team, has developed a roster of qualified experts specialized in the following thematic areas:

HIV, Health and Development

  1. Programme Management
  2. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
  3. Capacity development and/or transition and sustainability planning

Global Health Supply

  1. Health Procurement and Supply Chain Management
  2. Health Supply Chain Management Systems
  3. Logistics Management Information Systems (LMIS)

How to submit a deployment request using Eva.ai

To engage a candidate expert from the GPN ExpRes Roster, COs need to submit a deployment request from the Eva.ai home-page by clicking on “Create New Deployment request” and upload the Terms of Reference.  If COs have a preferred candidate who is registered on the GPN ExpRes Roster, they should include the details in the comments section.

The Crisis Bureau has implemented a pilot cost recovery model for non-crisis deployments, focusing on creating a financially sustainable system that supports the organization’s mission while ensuring accountability and efficiency. In view of this model, all successful non-crisis deployments made through the roster will be charged a USD $300 fee, regardless of the total contract cost, to the requesting unit’s COA. It is strongly advised that the COA provided below, should be the same COA used to contract the expert to be hired. The COA will be charged for the successful contract issued for a GPN ExpRes Roster expert deployment; extensions will not incur a fee. TRAC3 funding need not apply.

Once the request is submitted, a Roster Officer will be assigned and will share a longlist of potential candidates for COs to score/ rank. 

As evaluation of the performance of experts is a critical component for the successful maintenance of GPN ExpRes Roster, therefore COs and units are requested to complete an evaluation at the conclusion of the assignment. Performance evaluation templates for ICs are available here.

For regular IPSA holders, a full- service evaluation report must be completed, using the online PMD platform for any service period exceeding six months worked during that evaluation year.  Where the PMD platform is not available or for short-term IPSA holders, the IPSA Service Evaluation form linked to Annex 5 of the IPSA Policy document can be used.  For short-term IPSAs, or for periods of service of less than six months, only section I of the IPSA Annual Performance Review template is to be completed and should be documented as a note to file by the CO or unit.

How to submit a vetting request using Eva.ai
For any potential candidates who may have the requisite expertise for inclusion to the GPN ExpRes Roster, the COs or units are requested to login via the  Eva.ai home-page  (sign in with your UNDP email) and click on  “submit a vetting request”. . 

Here’s a video on How to submit a vetting request. CVs must be submitted in English, and eligible candidates should have a Master’s degree, with a minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience or 7 years of experience with a Bachelor’s degree.

All vetting requests will be submitted to the appropriate technical teams for review and approval to the roster. The process can take up to two weeks. Upon successful approval to the roster, we will invite the expert to register onto the EVA.ai platform.

In case COs are interested to see experts under certain profiles under the roster, please navigate to EVA.ai > Jobs & Talent > UNDP Talent Pool > All Migrated Vetted Consultants > and then select ACP List – Deployment Request Form  located at the top. From there, COs can filter the profiles of interest and select ‘apply’ to see the talent names. Here, you can select the expert names and view their CVs from within their profiles.

For UNDP personnel who are Vetting Committee Members or part of a Technical Team, we recommend watching this short video on how to vet candidates.
