Mantis grew from Adrian’s vision to restore and rewild degraded farmland which he developed into a widely-acclaimed private game reserve. This was the first private game reserve in the Eastern Cape and the beginning of eco-tourism in a poverty-stricken province that had few opportunities outside of commercial farming. Adrian and the Mantis team successfully created a place where man and nature could co-exist sustainably. From this initial success, the Mantis model was then developed worldwide, understanding that consumers could use the Mantis portfolio as a mark of quality, consistency and character. Today the diverse portfolio of handpicked properties links up to create travel journeys, which offer guests the opportunity to experience the essence of the location in a setting of tailored luxury. Rooted in conservation, Mantis pursues sustainable business practices and develops tourism products that are respectful of the environment and communities in which they operate.</p> <p>Do what you love, care for the world, dare to challenge the status quo! #belimitless</p></p><p></p>

Mantis grew from Adrian’s vision to restore and rewild degraded farmland which he developed into a widely-acclaimed Private Game Reserve. This was the first private game reserve in the Eastern Cape and the beginning of eco-tourism in a poverty-stricken province that had few opportunities outside of commercial farming. Adrian and the Mantis team successfully created a place where man and nature could co-exist sustainably. From this initial success, the Mantis model was then developed worldwide, understanding that consumers could use the Mantis portfolio as a mark of quality, consistency and character. Today the diverse portfolio of handpicked properties links up to create travel journeys, which offer guests the opportunity to experience the essence of the location in a setting of tailored luxury. Rooted in conservation, Mantis pursues sustainable business practices and develops tourism products that are respectful of the environment and communities in which they operate.</p> <p>Do what you love, care for the world, dare to challenge the status quo! #BELIMITLES</p></p><p></p>

Bahrain is implementing an ambitious national reform agenda under <strong>Bahrain Vision 2030</strong> and the <strong>Government Programme (2023–2026)</strong>, with a strong focus on economic diversification, fiscal sustainability, effective governance, environmental resilience, digital transformation, and inclusive human development. As a net contributor country, UNDP Bahrain maintains a lean operational footprint while delivering high-value technical assistance, policy advisory services, and innovation-driven solutions in support of national priorities.</p><br> <p>UNDP Bahrain’s programme is guided by the <strong>Country Programme Document (CPD) 2025–2029</strong>, approved by the UNDP Executive Board in January 2025, and is fully aligned with the <strong>United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2025–2029</strong>. The CPD positions UNDP as a trusted strategic partner to the Government of Bahrain, contributing to UNSDCF outcomes through integrated, multi-sectoral interventions that address complex development challenges at the intersection of economic prosperity, governance and human rights, and environmental sustainability. Under the <strong>Country Programme Document (CPD) 2025–2029</strong>, UNDP Bahrain’s engagement is structured around <strong>three interrelated CPD pillars</strong>:</p><br> <p>(i) <strong>Economic prosperity and sustainable livelihoods</strong>;<br> (ii) <strong>Effective governance, human rights, and access to justice</strong>; and<br> (iii) <strong>Environmental sustainability and climate resilience</strong>.</p><br> <p><br> These pillars reflect national priorities under Bahrain Vision 2030 and the Government Programme (2023–2026), and constitute UNDP’s substantive contribution to the implementation of the <strong>United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2025–2029</strong>.</p><br> <p>To ensure coherence, integration, and efficient delivery within a lean Country Office structure, the Bahrain CO operationalizes the three CPD pillars through <strong>two integrated programme clusters</strong>. The first cluster brings together <strong>Economic Prosperity and Environmental Sustainability; and environmental sustainability and governance, human rights, access to justice, and social inclusion.&nbsp;</strong></p><br> <p>The second cluster focuses on <strong>governance, human rights, access to justice, and social inclusion</strong>, encompassing rule of law, public sector effectiveness, civic engagement, gender equality, and protection of vulnerable groups. This cluster supports national institutions in strengthening accountability, service delivery, and compliance with international human rights standards, while promoting inclusive participation and social cohesion.</p><br> <p>This <strong>two-cluster delivery model</strong> enables the Country Office to manage complexity, promote synergies across CPD pillars, and apply a portfolio approach to programme design, implementation, and partnerships. Staff are therefore expected to work across thematic boundaries, contribute to integrated solutions, and support joint programming within the UN system, while ensuring results-based management, quality assurance, and alignment with national and UNSDCF priorities.</p><br> <p><strong>Duties and Responsibilities</strong></p><br> <p><strong><u>Summary of key functions&nbsp;</u></strong></p><br> <p>Under the overall guidance of Program Analyst (<strong>governance, human rights, access to justice, and social inclusion cluster)</strong>, the&nbsp;National Project Coordinatorwill:</p><br> <ul> <li>Ensuring effective project management of the assigned project by maintaining the delivery of appropriate technical, operational, financial and administrative outputs, while tracking the project progress by monitoring, evaluation and reporting;</li> <li>Provide advisory support on climate resilience and river basin management issues to the Government and other partners;</li> <li>Build the strategic partnerships needed to achieve results;</li> <li>Align the project with UN values and UNDP priorities;&nbsp;</li> <li>Ensure the mainstreaming gender, disability and youth considerations in the field of expertise, promote a safe and enabling environment free of any kind of discrimination, abusive behavior and exploitation, and use the principles of Inclusive HR communications in line with the UNDP corporate standards.</li> </ul> <p><strong><u>Specific tasks and responsibilities:</u></strong></p><br> <p><strong>Ensuring effective project management of the assigned project by maintaining the delivery of appropriate technical, operational, financial and administrative outputs, while tracking the project progress by monitoring, evaluation and reporting</strong></p><br> <ul> <li>Manage and coordinate project activities based on the relevant Project Document, including the</li> <li>Develop comprehensive/detailed Project work-plan including structured dynamics of all Project</li> <li>Prepare Project progress reports for the donor and the main project beneficiary (Ministry of</li> <li>Ensure timely submission of the Project Implementation Report, Technical reports, quarterly financial reports, and other reports as may be required by UNDP and/or the donor;</li> <li>Monitor Project progress to ensure that it is in accordance with the timetable set out in the</li> <li>Secure the goods, services and personnel needed to implement ANA activities, including drafting TORs and work specifications;</li> <li>Monitor financial resources and ensure accuracy and reliability of financial reports;</li> <li>Manage and monitor the project risks initially identified, submit new risks to the Project Board for consideration and decision on possible action if required;
