Bidding

BackgroundUNDP’s Insurance and Risk Finance Team, (https://irff.undp.org) housed within the Sustainable Finance Hub’s Private Finance portfolio, is building countries’ long-term financial resilience to an evolving risk landscape. Currently active in 39 countries, the Insurance and Risk Finance team is working with over 100 public and private partners, facilitating tailored financial protection solutions for the public sector, households, smallholder farmers, small businesses and nature. The team is creating the right environment for sovereign, sub-sovereign and inclusive insurance solutions to scale, working with governments to develop supportive insurance regulations and policies, and building the capacity of local industry to develop inclusive products, services and distribution channels. The insurance and risk finance work contributes to the Sustainable Finance Hub’s public, private and global policy portfolios, with the team also providing technical assistance to help governments integrate risk finance and insurance into all aspects of public financial planning and management.Across Francophone Africa, significant protection gaps remain across agricultural, climate and disaster-related risks, limiting the resilience of vulnerable populations, constraining financial sector development and affecting countries’ ability to mobilize long-term financing for development priorities.Within this context, UNDP seeks to strengthen the depth and scope of its insurance and risk finance portfolio across Francophone Africa, with a particular focus on: disaster risk financing, inclusive insurance, agricultural insurance, insurance-enabled financial inclusion, and climate resilience and de-risking mechanisms. UNDP also seeks to strengthen long-term partnerships with ecosystem actors capable of supporting the development, structuring and implementation of insurance and risk finance initiatives across Francophone Africa.To support this agenda, UNDP seeks to contract a Strategic Technical Assistance and Implementation Support Partner capable of providing integrated advisory, ecosystem coordination and technical structuring support across two complementary priority areas (components): 1) Strategic Country Programme Delivery Support in 3 IRFF project countries (with scale up potential across other countries and the sub-Saharan Africa region) and 2) Strategic Insurance-Enabled Multi-Partner Interventions in 1 country. The intervention will build on ongoing activities in existing IRFF programme countries  Senegal, Madagascar and Comoros - under Component 1, while Component 2 will focus specifically on the structuring and implementation of a pilot insurance-credit intervention in Senegal.The overall objective of this assignment is to build pathways to scale insurance interventions in Francophone Africa by enhancing the depth and scope of UNDP’s insurance and risk finance portfolio across Francophone Africa, focused on disaster risk financing, inclusive insurance and agricultural insurance, within existing IRFF programme countries and beyond, particularly in Western and Central Africa. It will focus on providing strategic country programme delivery support and strategic insurance-enabled multi-partner interventions.More details of required scope of work and results are given in the Terms of Reference.Instructions how to submit a proposalPlease indicate whether you intend to submit a bid by creating a draft response without submitting directly in the system.
