The Slovak Transformation Fund (STF) is a strategic partnership between the Slovak Ministry of Finance and UNDP, established in 2015 to support sustainable development and innovation in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Western Balkans. It focuses on public finance for development, transition to green economy, and innovation for development through a flexible portfolio approach.
At the heart of STF's urban transformation efforts is the City Experiment Fund (CEF), a pioneering initiative that empowers cities to tackle complex challenges through innovative, systemic approaches. CEF supports cohorts of cities in designing and implementing portfolios of interconnected initiatives, addressing issues ranging from sustainability and economic vibrancy to social inclusion and digital transformation. By employing systems thinking and adaptive management, CEF helps cities navigate the complexities of urban development in the 21st century.
The STF is now developing its next phase, which will concentrate on the twin transition - digital and green. This new phase aims to leverage digital technologies and sustainable practices to accelerate transformative change in urban systems across the region. The project is expanding to include new cities in the CEF cohorts and is seeking support for innovative finance coordination. We will have a dedicated team working on this stream of work and we are seeking a volunteering to work directly with the Regional Project Manager in supporting this work.
By integrating CEF's city-level experimentation with broader regional strategies, the STF aims to catalyze systemic changes in urban development, fostering innovation ecosystems that can drive sustainable growth and improve quality of life across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Western Balkans.
We are seeking a dedicated volunteer to assist in coordinating the implementation of developing the STF Regional Innovative and Alternative Finance Portfolio Strategy. This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in innovative finance, urban development, and international development.
