Overview
UNFPA is exploring innovative financing modalities that complement traditional ODA to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. In line with the EU's emphasis on blended finance and private capital mobilisation, UNFPA seeks to scale rights-based, evidence-driven programmes in SRHR, gender equality, maternal health, and youth empowerment, and to diversify funding sources with innovative financing mechanisms aligned with its mandate.
The European Union hosts a dynamic ecosystem of impact investors, philanthropic foundations, blended finance platforms, and development finance institutions. By assessing opportunities within this ecosystem, developing investment-ready pilot proposals, and engaging relevant partners, UNFPA aims to engage in innovative financing and impact investment with EU-based financial institutions, private and philanthropic entities, and EU institutions. This multiplier effect strengthens UNFPA as an innovative partner and helps ensure that SRHR and gender equality attract innovative financing.
Objective
The objective of this consultancy is to strengthen UNFPA's engagement in innovative financing and impact investment by :
- Developing 3 investment-ready concept notes for innovative financing from the European Commission. These concept notes should showcase scalable and measurable solutions, align with the EU's strategic priorities, and be attractive to impact investors, relevant private sector partners, and the European Commission.
- Building internal capacity through a targeted workshop with selected Country, Regional Offices, and other relevant UNFPA business units to introduce the European Commission's approach to innovative financing and the developed concept notes.
