UNDP works with countries to expand people’s choices for a fairer, sustainable future, to build the world envisioned by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with planet and people in balance. As shown by the UNDP’s Strategic Plan 2022-2025, the challenge of the next four years is to accelerate and scale up development results significantly, bringing the Sustainable Development Goals back within reach. Towards that end, UNDP will support change in three directions:

• Structural transformation, particularly green, inclusive and digital transitions;
• Leaving no one behind, a rights-based approach centred on human agency and human development;
• Building resilience to respond to systemic uncertainty and risk.

These are huge, whole-of-society puzzles that require collective efforts and integrated approaches. To be an effective partner in transformative change, UNDP has to build not just new skills, like digitalization, systems thinking, but a new culture: one that embraces complexity, actively manages risk, continually adapts and seeks to learn alongside delivering results.

In Asia and the Pacific, the UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub (BRH) leverages innovation and digitalization to generate new development responses and robust development solutions, by developing new products, services and offers, new ways of solving development issues across the Governments and Country Offices within the region.

Digitalization is one of the key enablers of new UNDP strategic plan 2022–2025 and the BRH requires the services of experienced Digital Transformation experts to be based out in one of the Country Offices (CO) listed below to support 3-9 COs in collaboration with Bangkok Regional Hub and Chief Digital office (CDO) to grow and scale the UNDP Digital Transformation offer across the sub-region:

Following growing need in scaling up financing for the SDGs, UNDP’s priorities include involvement with the private sector to mobilize its capital towards achieving the SDGs at policy and specific investments levels through facilitating and providing advice on blended finance, impact investment, SDG alignment and Impact Measurement and Management.  UNDP’s Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH) developed several service lines availed to businesses and investors to align their investments towards the SDGs - these include engaging and enabling institutional and private investors; co-creating and innovating impact factored financial tools for development; leveraging private capital into SDG and climate aligned investment opportunities.  In Asia and the Pacific region, the SDG Finance team of Regional Bureau for Asia Pacific (RBAP), in collaboration with UNDP Global Policy Network, provides support to 24 UNDP Country Offices in the region in pioneering dedicated catalytic facilities and engagement frameworks to implement those service lines and through their application elevate social, economic and environmental impacts of private sector investments in the context of SDGs.

Mobilizing private sector sources for SDG finance is achieved through combination of activities focused on impact advisory (impact measurement and management (IMM) approaches, metrics and standards), identifying SGD targeting business-based solutions, aligning business strategies and operations with SDGs, impact performance incentives for both capital providers and recipient businesses.

SDG Finance in Bangkok Regional Hub (BRH) have been working on developing range of business cases through structured research on identifying SDG investment opportunities, setting-up network of impact venture accelerators (IVA), partnerships with PE/VC funds, working with banks, stock exchanges and other capital market ecosystem stakeholders. Following range of successful cases, UNDP currently plans going beyond pilots to scaling up and expanding the successful frameworks for such engagements with the private sector. 

The above goals require the services of experienced SDG Finance experts to be based out in one of the Country Offices (CO) listed below and to support other COs in the region in collaboration with Bangkok Regional Hub and SDG Finance Private Sector Advisor in the Bangkok Regional Hub across the sub-region.

Host Country Offices: China, Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore/Sri Lanka (tbc).
