Overview

Project Name: Financing the SDGs: Jamaica’s Innovative Outcome Fund

Country: Jamaica

Post Level: National/International Consultant

Type of Consultancy: Individual Consultancy

Expected start date: November 2020

Period of assignment/services: 20 working days

Background:

The UNDP in partnership with UNICEF is developing the “Financing the SDGs: Jamaica’s Innovative Outcome Fund” joint project. This project aims to introduce a results-based innovative financing model that addresses the challenges of Jamaica’s nascent financial ecosystem. The proposed joint project will address the development challenge of insufficient funding for the integrated SDGs and Vision 2030 Jamaica programmes which require more funding than available in the national budget. The project strategy includes the creation of an outcome fund, a digital investment platform and an impact venture studio. It is expected that the project will facilitate an increase in the number of innovative and sustainable deals in the pipeline; increase funding available for Vision 2030/SDG aligned projects and ventures; and an increase funds mobilized from the private sector, bilateral and multilateral financing. A concept note was developed and approved by the SDG Fund Secretariat, which is the donor supporting the initiative. The UNDP & UNICEF are now required to develop a full Joint Programmed Document, fully elaborating the project’s approach, theory of change, budget, workplan and other key components. In this regard, a Gender and Safeguards consultant is being recruited to support the project development team in ensuring that gender equality is mainstreamed throughout the Joint Project Document and the annexes.
