Office/Unit/Project Description
UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan.
Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. BPPS’s staff provides technical advice to Country Offices, advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter- agency coordination in specific thematic areas. In addition, BPPS works closely with UNDP’s Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. While ensuring that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP’s development programmes, BPPS also assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results-based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working. Lastly, BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts.
In order to streamline its financial and investment engagement, UNDP launched the Finance Sector Hub, a finance and innovation platform, that draws on a critical mass of UNDP expertise, initiatives, and partnerships to support the mobilization and leveraging of resources for the SDGs and lead the implementation of the new UNDP private sector strategy and other initiatives. The Hub is an integral part of both the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) and the Bureau of External Relations and Advocacy (BERA), as well as part of the GPN. The Hub serves as a connector, broker and global coordinator among internal and external actors; curates and manages UNDP’s catalogue of service offers on SDG financing to governments, investors and companies, via the COs, to significantly enhance the scale and impact of UNDP’s work.
Under the direct supervision of the SDG Finance Sector Hub Director, and working closely with the other team members who report to the Senior Advisor on Thematic Debt Instruments, this position will be responsible for continuing the leadership of UNDP on delivering thematic bond and SDG-linked debt issuances as part of UNDP’s Public Finance portfolio, and building up the capacity of UNDP in delivering debt support to countries through mechanisms such as debt for nature swaps and SLBs, identifying new opportunities (origination), managing existing transactions; overseeing the delivery of the European Commission funding including integrating the EU taxonomy where appropriate to forthcoming issuances and finding links to the EU’s GGBI; scaling in-house capacity through trainings, generating tacit knowledge and translating these skills into delivery of financing instruments at the country level. Finally, the work will entail overseeing and guiding a growing team of debt experts.
Scope of Work
The Senior Advisor on Thematic Debt will be responsible for the performance of the following functions and duties:
