The United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) makes public and private finance work for the poor in the world\u2019s 47 least developed countries. With its capital mandate and instruments, UNCDF offers \u201clast mile\u201d finance models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development. UNCDF\u2019s financing models work through three channels:\u00a0inclusive digital economies<\/strong>, connecting individuals, households, and small businesses with financial eco-systems that catalyze participation in the local economy, and provide tools to climb out of poverty and manage financial lives;\u00a0local development finance<\/strong>, that capacitates localities through fiscal decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and structured project finance to drive local economic expansion and sustainable development; and\u00a0investment finance<\/strong>, that provides catalytic financial structuring, de-risking, and capital deployment to drive SDG impact and domestic resource mobilization. By strengthening how finance works for poor people at the household, small enterprise, and local infrastructure levels, UNCDF contributes to Sustainable Development Goal-SDG 1 on eradicating poverty and SDG 17 on the means of implementation. By identifying those market segments where innovative financing models can have transformational impact in helping to reach the last mile and address exclusion and inequalities of access, UNCDF contributes to a broad diversity of SDGs. Based on this experience UNCDF started in 2017 to expand the scope of its programmatic agenda to go beyond digital finance. Through the\u00a0\u201cLeaving none behind in the digital era\u201d strategy<\/strong>, UNCDF is supporting, through its digital finance interventions, the emergence of inclusive digital economies.<\/p>\n Job Description<\/strong><\/p>\n Job Title:\u00a0International Expert in remittance services and financial inclusion <\/strong><\/p>\n Under this framework, UNCDF is currently expanding its expertise in Ghana under\u00a0\u201cBoosting Green Employment and Enterprise Opportunities in Ghana<\/strong>\u00a0(GrEEn)\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>programme to be funded by the European Union Trust Fund for Africa.\u00a0This programme will contribute to addressing the root causes of irregular migration through green and climate resilient local economic development and improving future prospects of beneficiaries, by creating employment and enterprise opportunities in selected sectors and regions (Ashanti and Western).<\/strong>\u00a0The action aims at supporting job creation in regions of departure, transit and return of Ghana, creating local financial ecosystems that facilitate the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and enabling the transition of local economies to green and climate resilient development. The programme will use the lessons learnt from UNCDF experience in (i) Performance-Based Climate Resilience Grants (PBCRGs) which support investments for green and resilient local economies across 13 countries as well as (ii) best practices to advance increase access to finance for youth and digital finance. The action will be implemented in conjunction with SNV using their model for youth entrepreneurs \u2018Opportunities for Youth Employment (OYE) programme\u2019, SNV\u2019s most advanced multi-country programme thus far, which targeted 27,000 rural out of school youth in Tanzania, Rwanda and Mozambique.

The 2030 Agenda recognizes migration as a core-development consideration, marking the first time that migration is explicitly integrated into the global development agenda. It also recognizes a major relevance of international migration as a multidimensional reality of and for the development of countries of origin, as well as transit and destination, which requires coherent and comprehensive responses. In particular under GrEEn, UNCDF will provide technical assistance to a selected group of FSPs, Money Transfer Operators (MTOs) and Fintechs to develop customer centric financial services linked to remittances. Partnerships with banks with services in Ghana and abroad will also be encouraged to increase outreach to the diaspora and channelling remittances through formal mechanisms (i.e. transfer from the senders savings account into the receiver\u2019s savings account) and lower the costs for both the remitter and the receiver.<\/p>\n Duties And Responsibilities<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/u>UNCDF is keen to explore how remittances can be leveraged to improve avenues for savings, investment, and credit for migrants and their families.
