Description

The purpose of this engagement is to onboard a partner to:

  • Design and structure a pooled financing facility that leverages innovative financing instruments including blended finance and others.
  • Support in securing diverse forms of capital and design innovative financing mechanisms linked to address women health areas. 
  • Manage and deploy resources effectively across thematic areas aligned with UNFPA’s mandate and India’s development and gender priorities.
  • Deliver measurable social, health, and gender-transformative impact at scale.

  • The facility will aim to mobilize at least USD 5 million to close financing gaps thereby supporting the ecosystem to address women health issues. 
               It will also serve as a partnership platform, aligning government, donor, and private sector priorities with national strategies, while channeling 
               capital efficiently to generate replicable models and evidence for the Global South.

  • The selected agency will provide technical advisory, structuring, operationalization, and resource mobilization support to UNFPA India. UNFPA 
                will retain oversight, fiduciary responsibility, and final decision-making authority over all financing arrangements, governance mechanisms, and 
                partnerships established under this initiative.

  • Any implementation support involving fund deployment, disbursement commencement, or operationalization of financing instruments shall remain 
               subject to separate UNFPA review, approval, and applicable financial, and legal clearances.
