Dodoma, Tanzania
Job Identification 20294
Job Description
Background
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
UNCDF makes public and private finance work for the poor in the world’s 47 least developed countries. With its capital mandate and instruments, UNCDF offers “last mile” finance models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development. This last mile is where available resources for development are scarcest; where market failures are most pronounced; and where benefits from national growth tend to leave people excluded.
UNCDF's vision is to help mobilize and catalyze an increase of capital flows for SDG impactful investments to Member States, especially LDCs, to address the most pressing development challenges facing vulnerable communities in these countries and thereby contribute to sustainable economic growth and equitable prosperity.
UNCDF’s mission is to support market development by enabling access to finance in high-risk environments for impactful investments by providing financial instruments, financial mechanisms, and financial advisory. In partnership with United Nation agencies and other Development Partners, UNCDF will use these tools with speed and agility to deliver scalable blended finance solutions to pave the way for commercial finance, drive systemic change and thereby contribute to the SDGs.
In Tanzania, UNCDF’s Inclusive Digital Economy (IDE) programming includes the ongoing Tanzania Inclusive Digital Economy (TIDE) project, the Kigoma Joint Programme (KJP) Phase 2 and the newly approved Data for Digital Agricultural Transformation (D4DAT) project.
The TIDE project, supports digital financial innovation through the development of the fintech sector and innovation ecosystem in Tanzania while also contributing to the building of national digital financial infrastructure through its championing of digital financial services and digitalization of financial service providers.
The UN area-based Kigoma Joint Programme recently launched its second phase wherein UNCDF continues to focus on strengthening farmer groups and digitizing value chains to improve agricultural livelihoods (with a focus on women and youth) in partnership with other UN agencies and in cooperation with local government authorities.
The recently launched Data for Digital Agricultural Transformation (D4DAT) is a joint programme funded by the SDG fund and in partnership with FAO and IFAD. It aims to enhance public and private sector collaboration around access to and sharing of data to improve agricultural efficiency and digital transformation in the agricultural sector for smallholder farmers, leveraging technology-driven agricultural solutions to address challenges in productivity, access to finance, inputs, markets, and managing the impacts of climate change.
The D4DAT project is designed to foster digital transformation within Tanzania's agricultural sector aiming to enhance job creation, income generation, and livelihood resilience of smallholder farmers, especially women and youth. The program will support the refinement of regulatory frameworks related to data governance, management, and interoperability, while enforcing rigorous data security, protection standards, and privacy norms.
UNCDF in Tanzania seeks a Tanzanian national with experience in access to finance programming in rural settings, program management and excellent government relationship building skills to provide support in the implementation, coordination and monitoring of the Kigoma Joint Programme 2 as well as the new Joint Programme on Data for Digital Agricultural Transformation project.
