UNCDF is the UN’s capital investment agency for the world’s least developed countries. UNCDF has a unique financial mandate within the UN system. It provides investment capital and technical support to both the public and the private sector. The ability to provide capital financing -- in the forms of grants, soft loans and credit enhancement – and the technical expertise in preparing portfolios of sustainable and resilient capacity building and infrastructure projects, makes its mandate a very useful complement to the mandates of other UN agencies. It also positions UNCDF as an early stage investor to de-risk opportunities that can later be scaled up by institutional financial partners and increasingly by philanthropic foundations and private sector investors. Mobile Money for the Poor (MM4P): Mobile Money for the Poor (MM4P) is a global thematic initiative to address the opportunities and challenges of implementing branchless banking and mobile money in challenging markets in Africa and Asia. MM4P’s long-term mission is to help low income and rural households in LDCs increase their financial security through appropriate, affordable and secure means to receive, manage and save money through these “digital financial services” (DFS). UNCDF is currently implementing this in 9 countries (Laos, Nepal, Myanmar, Benin, Malawi, Malaysia, Senegal, Uganda and Zambia). In partnership and with financing from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the Government of Belgium, UNCDF is implementing a digital “ecosystem support” programme in Uganda to hasten the scalability of digital solutions and digital finance (DF), particularly in rural areas. The program look at ways to expand the usage of digital solutions in the agriculture sector and the refugees settlements. This includes a high level of training, technical assistance and grants to financial service providers, agent networks, bulk payers, aggregators and the government of Uganda. In the agriculture sector, UNCDF is working closely in 5 value chains (coffee, dairy, tea, seed oil and maize) in the digitization of cash transfers. UNCDF is now expanding the scope of its interventions by focusing its intervention on digital solutions to empower smallholders farmers and their community thru the usage of technology. In the refugees context, UNCDF is working closely with NGOs and development partners around the digitization of cash-based transfers. UNCDF is now expanding the scope of their involvement by using digital solutions to empower refugees and host communities. The main goal is to use digital solutions to boost the connectedness of refugees to the wider socio-economic system so that refugees, especially women and youths become agents of development – of their own lives as well as their host community. As part of the extension of its program in Uganda in the agriculture and refugee’s context, UNCDF is looking for 2 Digital Finance Consultants with a primary focus in Agriculture & Refugees, based in Kampala, Uganda with 10% international travel. The main outcome of these positions is to scale current and future projects in agro-value chains (coffee, seeds, tea, dairy, fish, etc.) and other context (Refugees, Social transfers, NGOs, etc.) to additional users, by integrating new stakeholders. Finally, UNCDF is expanding its agricultural value chain portfolio in West Africa and actively seeking to transfer knowledge from the existing Uganda portfolio to new projects under development in West Africa (Gambia, Guinee, Senegal and Niger). Each consultant will be assigned some specific projects around agriculture and refugees context. The assigned projects will vary according to the profile and expertise of the consultant and based on dynamics of the programme. It is expected that the consultants will have to participate at least in one scoping mission in West Africa in 2018.
