UN-DESA (Fiji -based): Consultant to Support Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs) in Fiji: 2025/91
Pacific Vacancies Announcement No. 2025/91 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ? Consultant to Support Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs) in Fiji Job Opening ? Job Opening ID:?253291 Job Network?:?- Job Family?:?- Category and Level?:?Consultants,?CON Duty
Station?:?SUVA Department/Office:?Department of Economic and Social Affairs Date Posted?:?February 14, 2025 Deadline?:?February 28, 2025 ? Result of Service The ultimate result of this service is to advise Fiji to develop and execute a financing strategy that aligns with its sustainable development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through tailored technical assistance and country-specific advice, the consultant will assist Fiji in building its capacities related to Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs). This will involve leveraging INFF guidance materials provided by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Financing for Development (IATF), as well as drawing insights from relevant analytical work conducted by development partners in the field of financing for development. Additionally, the consultant will benefit from technical support on INFFs from UNDESA/FSDO as part of the mentorship component. ? Work Location SUVA, FIJI ? Expected duration 12 months ? Duties and Responsibilities ? In the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) countries decided that "integrated national financing frameworks (INFFs) that support nationally owned sustainable development strategies will be at the heart of our efforts" to implement the 2030 Agenda, supported by an enabling international economic environment and international cooperation. In the outcome of the 2018 Financing for Development (FfD) Forum, Member States followed up on the AAAA by committing to "operationalize national financial frameworks into investable projects and pipelines." In 2019, 16 countries committed to pioneering the INFF approach, and by 2024 Governments over 80 countries were taking steps to develop and operationalize INFFs. INFFs provide a comprehensive framework and roadmap for countries to implement the SDGs and operationalize the AAAA at the country level. INFFs map the landscape for financing sustainable development (including all financial and non-financial means of implementation of the AAAA) and lay out a country's financing strategy to implement targeted policies and reforms in order to reach the SDGs. INFFs can help national authorities identify, mobilize, and align financing and other means of implementation to meet national sustainable development priorities and the SDGs. ? As widely recognised in international agreements1, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face particular challenges for financing sustainable development, which undermine their sustainable development gains and their progress towards the SDGs. The impact of the COVID-19 crisis and the heightened economic insecurity triggered by the war in Ukraine have affected SIDS disproportionately, undermining their ability to respond and recover. In this context, it is imperative that SIDS develop and implement financing strategies that can support their recovery and ensure their resilience. As they seek to recover from the multiple crises and build back better, INFFs can help support financing strategies for SIDS to achieve national sustainable development priorities and the SDGs, including gaps identified by the Voluntary National Report (VNR). ? UNDESA designed a capacity development project to support INFF design and implementation in four selected SIDS -two in Africa, one in the Caribbean, and one in Asia- Pacific- with targeted technical assistance. The project, currently funded by the Government of Italy, is part of the broader Financing for SIDS Initiative (FINS Initiative) jointly developed by the Financing for Sustainable Development Office (FSDO) and the SIDS Unit of Division for the Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) at UNDESA and has a national component and a peer learning component. ? The key features of the national component of the project are: (i) the deployment of countrybased integrated experts ("embedded experts"); and (ii) a mentorship program. As partner government departments in many SIDS have strained technical capacity and high turnover, the in-country support is critical to ensure knowledge transfer and sustainability. The embedded experts, who will be selected based on their financing expertise, will work directly in the country of assignment to support local structures and processes. FSDO will ensure technical backstopping and accompanied coaching via a mentorship program. The country mentor(s) (a role taken on by FSDO/UNDESA) will undertake regular check-ins with the embedded experts and their government focal persons to establish and probe progress made, challenges and lessons, and next steps. Complementary to these efforts, online capacity development products will be leveraged to scale up in country technical assistance. In the spirit of INFFs, the technical assistance to be provided under the project has been designed to be flexible and responsive to the needs of the target SIDS governments. It may be comprehensive, covering all sectors and relevant sources of financing for their national priorities, including consideration of the range of governance reforms needed; or it may focus on a specific sector of interest to the government, e.g., domestic resource mobilization, climate and disaster risk reduction finance, social protection, and/or infrastructure financing. The key principle is to ensure an integrated approach to addressing the focus area of selection. ? As for the peer learning component of the project, UNDESA will encourage and co-facilitate information transfer and peer learning among SIDS on INFF implementation good practices and lessons learned, through regional and thematic meetings and workshops. This component will benefit from the support and close collaboration within UNDESA among FSDO and the DSDG/SIDS Unit, which will provide the unique global, regional, and subregional SIDS perspective regarding common areas of concern, challenges, needs, priorities and possible solutions shared by SIDS. ? UNDESA's technical support will be complementary to the in-country support provided by UNDP and other development partners and falls within the programmatic work of the INFF Facility that was launched in April 2022 by UNDESA, UNDP, the OECD, the European Union and the Governments of Italy and Sweden in response to the increased demand for support on INFFs. ? The Financing for Sustainable Development Office (FSDO) of UNDESA is currently seeking the services of a consultant to advise/lead the INFF capacity-building activities to be carried out under the project, as embedded expert in Fiji. The consultant will work at the Ministry of Finance, Strategic Planning, National Development & Statistics of Fiji (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry). The consultant will be based in Fiji and will report to UNDESA/FSDO through the Policy Analysis and Development Branch (PADB) staff designated as his/her Supervisor. ? The objective of this assignment is to provide technical assistance and tailored countryspecific advice to Fiji for the design and implementation of a financing strategy in support of its sustainable development priorities and the SDGs. The consultant will help Fiji build its capacities on INFFs by drawing on the INFF guidance material developed by the Inter- Agency Task Force on Financing for Development (IATF), other relevant analytical work produced by development partners on the area of financing for development, and existing country-experiences. In performing his/her work assignments under the project, the consultant will get the technical backstopping on INFF from UNDESA/FSDO, as part of the mentorship component. The consultant will work in coordination with the Resident Coordinator's Office (RCO) of the Fiji and in close collaboration with other UNDESA divisions (especially with the SIDS Unit at the Division for Sustainable Development Goals – DSDG -), other relevant parts of the UN system, including UN Country Team, the UN Regional Commission, UNDP, as well as international financial institutions, including the World Bank Group, IMF, regional development banks and other international development agencies. ?
