Earthquake in Haiti		New JPO Stories		Training
If you are a JPO and you wish to explore opportunities for detail assignment or other assignments in Haiti or Dominican Republic to support to the recovery after the Haiti earthquake, you will need to follow the procedure outlined on the UNDP Intranet. A joint e-mail has been established to cater for the extensive interest from UNDP staff to support the recovery work volunteer@undp.org and this approach also applies to JPOs.		Click here to read the new JPO Stories		We are delighted to announce the launch of our new e-Mentoring Programme. The objective of the JPO Induction e-Mentoring Programme is to support new JPOs assigned to UNDP in taking up their assignment. The Programme will match new JPOs with experienced JPOs in their second or third year of the JPO assignment, Special Assistants to the UN Resident Coordinator (SARCs), or current UNDP staff members who were recently JPOs. It is the intention that experienced current JPOs, SARCs, or former JPOs will mentor new JPOs during the first six months of their assignment.
