Job Description

Background
General Assembly Resolution 2186 (XXI) decided to “bring into operations the United Nations Capital Development Fund as an organ of the General Assembly which shall function as an autonomous organization of the United Nations. The UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) assists developing countries, especially least developing countries, in the development of their economies by supplementing existing sources of capital assistance by means of grants, loans, and guarantees. UNCDF’s vision is to help mobilize and catalyze an increase of capital flows for SDG impactful investments to Member States to address the most pressing development challenges facing vulnerable communities in these countries and thereby contribute to sustainable economic growth and equitable prosperity.
UNCDF utilizes its unique capability in the UN system to deploy grants, loans and guarantees to crowd-in finance for the scaling of development impact. UNCDF focuses on where the needs are greatest, a deliberate focus and capability rooted in UNCDF’s unique investment mandate to support the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the realization of the Doha Programme of Action for the least developed countries, 2022–2031.
As per its Strategic Framework, UNCDF works to deploy its functions as a hybrid development organization and development finance institution. UNCDF responds to Member States requests for assistance by providing targeted technical and financial advisory services on investments for development outcomes, designing bespoke financial structuring solutions, undertaking financial derisking of investments, and enhancing investment readiness of SDG aligned projects in partnership with private sector, UNOs, International and Local Finance Institutions, Development Finance Institutions as well as Foundations and Philanthropy, among others. UNCDF works to develop local financial systems, new markets and mobilize and crowd in capital from public and private sources. UNCDF is driven by a partnership mindset which enables it to deploy its different capital capabilities in highly tailored and responsive ways in order to mobilize investments flows from other sources, in particular from the private sector. By structuring transactions which are highly impactful but also recognize the need for multiplying the impact of its own capital, UNCDF seeks to position itself as a preferred partner for different stakeholders. UNCDF’s work is focused on six priority areas, including:

Sub-national and local infrastructure financing
Women-owned enterprise financing
Nature and climate financing
Energy and decarbonization finance
Sustainable food systems financing
Inclusive digital finance

Following a recent restructuring, UNCDF’s organizational set up includes an Investment and Implementation Division (IID), Investment and Finance Oversight Division (IFOD), Operations and Oversight Division (OOD) and a Directorate of the Executive Office. UNCDF staff and personnel are located in regional hubs based in Dakar (Senegal), Nairobi (Kenya) and Bangkok (Thailand) with sub-regional presence in a number of locations in the Caribbean and Pacific Regions. UNCDF is led by an Executive Secretary based out of New York, USA. Pursuant to General Assembly resolution 2321(XXII, para 1.a), the Administrator of the UNDP performs the function of the Managing Director of UNCDF. UNCDF is overseen by the Executive Board of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and performs the function of the Executive Board of UNCDF.
The Local Climate Adaptive Living (LoCAL) Facility was established by UNCDF to promote climate change–resilient communities and local economies and has evolved into a standard (ISO 14093), internationally recognized country-based mechanism to channel climate finance for locally-led climate investments in most climate vulnerable countries, in particular the least developed countries (LDCs), of whom Tanzania. LoCAL seeks to contribute through local governments to country achievement of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals – particularly poverty eradication (SDG 1), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) and climate action (SDG 13). A total of 34 countries are engaged with LoCAL, of which 27 are LDCs, 8 are SIDS and 24 in Africa, and with a potential scale up reach to half a billion people.
LoCAL aims to integrate climate change into local authorities’ planning and budgeting through the regular intergovernmental fiscal transfer system using performance-based grants in a participatory and gender sensitive manner, increase awareness and capacities to respond to climate change at the local level including through ecosystem-based solutions, and increase the quality and number of local investments that address climate change. LoCAL combines performance-based climate resilience grants (PBCRGs), which ensure programming and verification of change expenditures at the local level, with technical and capacity-building support. It uses the grants and demonstration effect to trigger further flows for local climate action including global climate finance and national fiscal transfers.
LoCAL-Tanzania
In Tanzania, LoCAL and its performance-based climate resilience grant (PBCRG) system, with original support from the European Union and the Government of Sweden, and under the umbrella of the Local Climate Finance Initiative, has been introduced in 2021 and it is being piloted by three local government authorities in the Dodoma region (Chamwino, Kondoa and Mpwapwa) to potentially benefit – directly or indirectly – more than 800,000 people, particularly women.
LoCAL-Tanzania is fully aligned with the country’s climate change response strategy, the NDCs, the National Adaptation Plan process, financial systems for local governments, and related institutional and regulatory frameworks.
The LoCAL mechanism is expected to be further institutionalized and scaled up to additional districts as of 2024, with support from development partners, in particular the governments of Norway, Belgium and European Union.
Within this context, UNCDF is seeking a Local Climate Finance Specialist, IPSA11 to lead on the effective delivery of the Programme’s activities in Tanzania, reporting to the Regional Climate Finance Advisor, (based in Nairobi, Kenya), and in close collaboration with the LoCAL global Facility and UNCDF colleagues across the region.
