The assignment will help UNDP teams gain more understanding of how UNDP currently works with existing Multilateral Development Bank (MDBs) partners and gain stronger partner intelligence knowledge.
The Snapshots and Partner Intelligence Profiles are key background resources for senior leadership, project managers, partnerships and resource mobilization focal points, policy experts, and economists when working with governments and MDBs. MDBs hold a “impact-multiplier” role that go beyond providing financing to governments. The large-scale financing they provide goes toward public goods, public infrastructure (including digital public infrastructure), more access to sustainable energy, stronger global value/supply chains, and private sector development. In turn, governments can generate more social and economic growth for its citizens which contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.
