Background The UN Capital Development Fund makes public and private finance work for the poor in the world’s 46 least developed countries (LDCs). 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. UNCDF’s financing models work through three channels: (1) inclusive digital economies, which connects 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; (2) local development finance, which capacitates localities through fiscal decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and structured project finance to drive local economic expansion and sustainable development; and (3) investment finance, which provides catalytic financial structuring, de-risking, and capital deployment to drive SDG impact and domestic resource mobilization. The Local Transformative Finance Practice employs its flagship Dual Key: Investing with Impact methodology to its revenue generating pipelines. This highly recognised and successful approach ensures that selected investments meet both the financial and thematic impact requirements, according to measurable indicators, impact assessment filters and criteria, while ensuring the financial sustainability and transformative impact of the investments on the local economy. The LTF Dual Key Investment Committee was established in 2017, with high profile internal and external members, to provide oversight on the investments and support the decision-making process on the financial and development impact credibility and sustainability The Intern will be part of the Dual Key SDG Impact Team, Local Transformative Finance Practice, in UNCDF Headquarters in New York (USA). (https://www.uncdf.org/dual-key ) Under the guidance and supervision of the Dual Key Investment Manager, and in close coordination with the Dual Key Communications Lead, the Intern will support the implementation of the UNCDF Dual Key communications workplan for 2022, including various related tasks to (i) Communications and Branding and (ii) SDG Impact, Knowledge Management and lessons learned across the investment portfolio.
