Introduction
1. Background
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Angola is dedicated to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by leveraging innovative financing mechanisms that catalyze private investments. Green, social, and sustainable bonds – collectively referred to as thematic bonds – represent transformative tools to channel resources toward specific development priorities. These include gender equality, women’s empowerment, and fostering inclusive economic growth.
In the face of these challenges, the UNDP, with the support of the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security, has just launched the Platform for Investment Support and Technical Assistance (PISTA). The initiative aims to identify projects that support developing countries in their efforts to transition to climate-resilient economies, catalyzing financing from national and international instruments.
With the support of PISTA, the Angolan Debt and Securities Exchange (BODIVA) and UNDP are implementing the project “Unleashing sustainable finance for a just energy transition in Angola”.
SCOPE OF TENDER
- Capacity building: Equip stakeholders with technical knowledge and practical skills to leverage thematic bonds and other instruments. This aims to foster an understanding of international standards and their application in Angola.
- Study and guidance note: Provide actionable recommendations for the issuance of thematic bonds in Angola, including the integration of SES and gender factors.
- Stakeholder engagement and validation: Promote collaboration among government, private sector, and financial institutions.
