Assignment title : Financing Expert

Duty station : Ramallah – UNDP PAPP hosted at The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC).

Mission and objectives

UNDP’s Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People (PAPP) derives its mandate from the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 33/147 of 20 December 1978. Called upon by United Nations Member States in that year, UNDP was requested “to improve the economic and social conditions of the Palestinian people by identifying their social and economic needs and by establishing concrete projects to that end”. UNDP/PAPP is a responsive development agency that works together with the Palestinian people to fulfil their aspiration for sustainable human development based on self-determination, equality and freedom.

Context

The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC) is the central governmental body in Palestine responsible for strategic planning, policy formulation, and coordinating international cooperation efforts. Established to guide national development priorities, MoPIC plays a critical role in aligning government strategies with international standards and donor frameworks. Its mandate includes facilitating cross-sectoral planning, resource mobilization, and policy integration across various governmental and non-governmental stakeholders.

As part of UNDP support to MOPIC under the Italian-funded “Supporting Gaza Recovery, Reconstruction, and Development Planning”, a Gaza Reconstruction Unit (GRU) will be established. Operating under the umbrella of the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC), the GRU is tasked with translating the Gaza Recovery, Reconstruction and Development Plan (GRRP) into technical programs and projects. As part of this structure, the Financing Expert will support MoPIC and the IGDU in identifying and designing financing modalities, including blended finance, guarantees, social impact bonds, and public-private partnerships (PPPs).

Task description
The Financing Expert will serve as the lead technical focal point for developing and advising on innovative financial instruments and investment frameworks under the GRRDP, with the aim of mobilizing private capital and enabling sustainable public-private partnerships for Gaza’s reconstruction.

• Conduct scoping and advise on the design of financial instruments to leverage private capital for reconstruction and development priorities.
• Support in identifying investment opportunities and propose financial structuring models tailored to Gaza’s economic and regulatory context.
• Facilitate dialogues with financial institutions, donors, private sector stakeholders, and government counterparts on potential investment frameworks.
• Propose risk-sharing mechanisms and co-financing strategies that enhance the attractiveness and sustainability of public-private investments.
• Provide technical advice to MoPIC and GRU teams on fiscal arrangements, subsidy designs, and project financing pipelines.
• Support capacity-building within government institutions on innovative financing and economic governance tools.
• Contribute to the preparation of investment prospectuses, policy briefs, and financing agreements.
