Job Description
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

secretariat for project development and financing. The associates will focus on
