The need for UNCDF to be more responsive to the varied and evolving graduation requirements of LDCs also calls for more flexibility and developing new funding mechanisms to support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Istanbul Programme of Action (IPoA). For UNCDF to remain relevant and competitive in this changing global environment, it needs to maximize the right conditions for creativity and financial innovation to flourish in a new development finance landscape. Hence, considering the untapped potential in development finance institutions to catalyze private investment in LDCs, UNCDF is adapting its business model to 1) push the boundaries of financial innovation, 2) further explore how public finance – such as ODA and climate finance – can be used to unlock additional public and private finance from international and domestic sources, primarily in LDCs, and 3) allow the expansion and blending of its capital investment instruments.
In this context, UNCDF is now establishing a roster of resource mobilization and financing structuring experts who could be called upon to assist to identify and invest in new sources of financial innovation and support the Organization’s goal of catalyzing investment to achieve the SDGs in LDCs.
The consultants in this roster will be called upon to support the UNCDF activities across its three key verticals: RESOURCE MOBILIZATION AND FINANCING STRUCTURING, Research and Advocacy, and Strategic Advice. Subject to their availability and interest for specific missions, the consultants included in the roster may be tasked with activities such as providing technical assistance and support to UNCDF and its partners. These tasks may support in-country work or global efforts at the corporate level.
