Background
UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity
in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups,
indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to
apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and
abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination.
All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and
background checks.
The UN Capital Development Fund makes public and private
finance work for the poor in the world's 46 least developed countries (LDCs).
It offers "last mile" finance models that unlock public and private
resources, especially domestic, to reduce poverty and support local economic
development.
UNCDF's financing models work through three channels: 1)
Local development finance, which capacitates localities through fiscal
decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and structured project finance
to drive local productive capacity for sustainable development, 2) Inclusive
digital economies connect 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, and 3)
Investment finance, which provides innovative financial structuring,
de-risking, and capital deployment to drive SDG impact and domestic resource
mobilization.
UNCDF is a Fund Manager of the CookFund, which is a key
component of the Integrated Approach to Sustainable Cooking Solutions Programme
