Introduction

Introduction

Since 2021, UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub’s Innovation Team has led the regional implementation of the EU-funded “Mayors for Economic Growth” (M4EG), implemented in five Eastern Partnership (EaP) Countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine). The M4EG offers resources, networking and learning opportunities to explore new trajectories of growth and to make towns and cities more attractive for people and investment through new ways of local economic planning.

The City Finance Advisory Function (CFAF) is a regional advisory and development mechanism that bridges the gap between cities and investors by enhancing local financial capability and aggregating urban development projects into bankable investment portfolios. It functions as an enabler that helps transform municipal visions into mission-driven investment strategies, providing technical support for project preparation and connecting these initiatives with appropriate financing sources from public, private, and multilateral sectors.

The ultimate objective of the assignment is four-fold:

•        Design of the City Financial Advisory Programme and Call for Interest for Cities: To design detailed activities and a timeline for the City Financial Advisory Programme and support UNDP to launch the Call for Interest for Cities to apply.
•        City Investment Project Planning and Identification: To support cities in prioritizing attractive investment pipeline of projects aligned with a clear mission-driven city strategy.
•        City Investment Project Preparation: To equip prioritized urban projects with robust financial models to attract potential investors.
•        City Capital Facilitation: To match cities and their prioritized projects with potential financiers to secure financial commitments.
