Background
The UN Capital Development Fund makes public and private finance work
for the poor in the world’s 46 least developed countries (LDCs). UNCDF
offers “last mile” finance models that unlock public and private
resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and
support local economic development.
UNCDF’s financing models
work through three channels: (1) inclusive digital economies, which
connects individuals, households, and small businesses with financial
eco-systems that catalyze participation in the local economy, and
provide tools to climb out of poverty and manage financial lives; (2)
local development finance, which drives structural transformation of
localities through policy and regulatory reform, fiscal
decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and project finance to
unlock capital flows to the local level, combined local economic
expansion and sustainable development; and (3) investment finance, which
provides catalytic financial structuring, de-risking, and capital
deployment to drive SDG impact and domestic resource mobilization.
UNCDF’s Local Development Finance Practice (LD) aims to be center of
excellence and innovative fund for local government finance and local
economic development finance in the world’s 46 LDCs. LD promotes and
supports transformative investments through local governments and
domestic financial institutions (banks, pension funds) in LDCs by
piloting and scaling up innovative financing mechanisms and policies in
the public and private sectors. UNCDF’s work in Local Development
Finance is best understood as an appreciation that the local dimension
to development is essential for least developed countries (and least
developed regions in all developing countries) to transform their
economies and societies into an inclusive, diverse and sustainable
system for human realization and planetary health. Local development is
clearly defined not just as a local initiative, because everything
happens somewhere, but as an initiative that draws from local assets to
add value that is inclusively shared locally: infrastructure, services,
value chains and environmental value – in other words an initiative with
transformative impact.
The Local Finance Initiative (LFI)
programme is designed to unlock the flow of capital to invest small and
medium-sized infrastructure projects that are required to accelerate
local economic development and private sector development. It is a UNCDF
front office capacity that help to deliver local economic development
in collaboration with national institutions, local authorities and SMEs
in developing countries. Furthermore, LFI through the UNCDF’s
International Municipal Investment Fund Technical Assistance Facility
(IMIF-TAF) help municipalities to prepare projects to be investment
ready and support to ensure that they meet the requirements for
accessing financial markets.
The UNCDF is seeking to hire an
experienced Investment Officer with expertise in developing and
financing municipal investment projects and the formulation of public
private partnership investment frameworks. The Investment officer will
be based in Tanzania and work under the direct supervision of the Global
LFI Manager based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. There is a secondary
coordination reporting line to the Municipal Investment Finance (MIF)
Manager based in New York.
