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
