Organizational Context

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability.

The mission of UNIDO, as described in the Lima Declaration adopted at the fifteenth session of the UNIDO General Conference in 2013 as well as the Abu Dhabi Declaration adopted at the eighteenth session of UNIDO General Conference in 2019, is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) in Member States.

The relevance of ISID as an integrated approach to all three pillars of sustainable development is recognized by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will frame United Nations and country efforts towards sustainable development.

UNIDO's mandate is fully recognized in SDG-9, which calls to "Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation".

The relevance of ISID, however, applies in greater or lesser extent to all SDGs.

Accordingly, the Organization's programmatic focus is structured in four strategic priorities:
Creating shared prosperity; Advancing economic competitiveness; Safeguarding the environment; and Strengthening knowledge and institutions.

Each of these programmatic fields of activity contains a number of individual programmes, which are implemented in a holistic manner to achieve effective outcomes and impacts through UNIDO's four enabling functions: (i) technical cooperation; (ii) analytical and research functions and policy advisory services; (iii) normative functions and standards and quality-related activities; and (iv) convening and partnerships for knowledge transfer, networking and industrial cooperation.

Such core functions are carried out in Departments/Offices in its Headquarters, Regional Offices and Hubs and Country Offices.

The Directorate of SDG Innovation and Economic Transformation (IET), headed by a Managing Director, is responsible for the development of innovative UNIDO services in the areas of agro-industry and agribusiness, sustainability standards and fair production, and climate-relevant or climate-improving technologies.

It is also, in collaboration with ODG, responsible for developing innovative technical cooperation concepts, identifying new sources and means of finance and entering into new partnerships with a broad range of relevant stakeholders.

The Division of Innovative Finance and International Financial Institutions (IET/IFI) is responsible for extending and scaling up UNIDO's funding basis.

It conceptualizes, identifies, develops and deploys innovative finance instruments and schemes with the private sector and international financial institutions (IFIs) to catalyze and leverage investments in sustainable industrial development in line with the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement.

Targeted financial institutions include multilateral, regional and national development banks with international operations; international efforts (e.g. platforms) to improve the coordination of development finance flows as well as financing initiatives engaged in innovative projects for sustainable industrial development that bridge the gap between investors, entrepreneurs and project developers.

The Programme Officer works under the overall guidance of the Managing Director of IET, and under the direct supervision of the Division Chief, IET/IFI, and in close collaboration with colleagues to support the mandate of the Division.

The Programme Officer is expected to deliver:
(a) work that contains in-depth analyses contributing to results achieved by the Division; (b) creating an enabling environment for team work which is catalytic to achieving results; (c) building relationships which contributes to partnerships resulting in strategic collaborations; and (d) achieving results within a professional team.

The UNIDO Staff Performance Management System reinforces the collaboration within formal units as well as among cross-functional teams. In this context, the incumbent collaborates with his/her supervisor and colleagues, within as well as outside the unit. Within the formal teams, the incumbent may be expected to backstop other team members as required.

Main Responsibilities
The incumbent shall carry out the following activities to achieve the results of the Division:

In collaboration with other in-house technical Units and Divisions, research, identify and build a strong pipeline of feasible innovative finance instruments an
