Overview : UNDP’s SDG Finance Sector Hub offers a comprehensive package of methods and tools to support governments, the private sector and international financial institutions (IFIs) to scale up financing for the SDGs. The Africa Finance Sector Hub (AFSH) was established in response to UNDP’s growing SDG financing agenda to service the Regional Bureau of Africa. The AFSH works to facilitate and support teams across RBA in scaling up their work on financing the SDGs and putting the SDGs at the heart of the public and private financing systems. As such, the Hub offers a comprehensive package of methods, tools and regional flagship programmes in support of UNDPs SDG Integration offer to enable governments, the private sector and other partners to accelerate financing for the SDGs. As demand for technical assistance, quality assurance and training has grown, AFSH is seeking to deliver blended finance training for the teams deploying various financing instruments across the SDG Finance and Nature Climate and Environment teams. UNDP staff need to develop a deeper understanding of blended finance instruments and structures. There a Blended Finance Learning Program for UNDP needs to be designed and delivered. This training is intended as a “Training of Trainers”, equipping key UNDP staff with a deep understanding of blended finance, which they subsequently share within their teams. In order to strike a balance between theoretical and practical training, targeted case studies and third party practitioners will be engaged to share their experience. |
