1 Advertised on behalf of: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT POST TITLE: National Consultant to formulate the upgraded guideline packages of the District Development Fund (DDF) AGENCY/PROJECT NAME: Governance for Inclusive Development (GIDP) Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) COUNTRY OF ASSIGNMENT: Lao PDR PLACE OF ASSIGNMENT: DURATION OF ASSIGNMENT: Vientiane and travel to some selected provinces 25 days (including weekends) during January-February 2018 STARTING DATE: Mid-January 2017 I. BRIEF BACKGROUND 1. ABOUT UNCDF: The UN Capital Development Fund makes public and private finance work for the poor in the world s 47 least developed countries (LDCs). With its capital mandate and investments, 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. This last mile is where available resources for development are scarcest; where market failures are pronounced; and where benefits of the national growth tend to leave people excluded. UNCDF s financing models work through two channels: savings-led financial inclusion that expand the opportunities for individuals; households and small businesses to participate local economy, providing them with the tools they need to climb out of poverty and manage their financial lives; and by showing how the localized investments through fiscal decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and structured project finance can drive public and private funding that underpins local economic expansion and sustainable development. UNCDF financing models are applied in thematic areas where addressing barriers to finance at the local level can have a transformational effect for poor and excluded people and communities. By strengthening how the finance works for poor people, household, small enterprise and local infrastructure levels, UNCDF contributes to the SDG1 on eradication poverty with a focus on reaching out the last mile and addressing the exclusions and inequalities of access. At the same time, UNCDF deploys its capital finance mandate in line with SDG 17 on means of implementation, that unlock public and private finance for poor at local level. By identifying those market segments where innovative financing models can have a transformational impact in helping to reach the last mile, UNCDF contributes to a number of different SDGs and currently to 28 of 169 targets. 2.
