UNDP is supporting government and partners to find innovative solutions to finance the SDGs. UNDP Indonesia established the Innovative Finance Lab (IFLab) in 2018, now known as the Financing for Development (FfD) Unit, serves as a collaborative platform dedicated to exploring innovative financing solutions for sustainable development.

With a strong emphasis on creativity, collaboration, and impact, FfD bridges the gap between public, private, and philanthropic capital to support high-impact projects that advance environmental sustainability, social equity, and economic resilience.

Through partnerships and cutting-edge financial mechanisms, FfD seeks to unlock new funding opportunities that drive meaningful change. FfD focuses on seven different but interrelated workstreams, namely Thematic Bonds, Impact Investing, Climate Finance, Faith Based Finance, Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF), Youth Empowerment, and De-risking and Access to Finance.

We seek support from 2 Online Volunteers to support our partnership efforts, with the overall goal of contributing to the development of the Financing for Development (FfD) unit. Under the guidance of the FfD team, the Online Volunteers will be responsible for the following tasks: - Support to map, identify, and compile information on organizations, institutions, and stakeholders relevant to Financing for Development (FfD), including their areas of focus, geographic coverage, and past collaboration in similar initiatives. - Conduct background research on recent reports, policy papers, and research articles to identify key trends, challenges, and opportunities in Financing for Development. - Provide support in engaging with potential partners, including scheduling meetings, documenting key discussion points, and following up on action items.

The selected Online Volunteers will be provided with background information and the material needed to support the tasks. The Online Volunteer is required to update on the progress during regular calls.
