This project aims to contribute
to the work of the UNDP Indonesia team
in the area of social finance and the development of innovative finance
models. More specifically, this assignment aims to unpack the concept of social
finance in the context of development with the specific focus on Indonesia with
lessons for the wider region, develop a compelling narrative for advocating for
the approach, map the incidence and influence of investors and networks in
Phase 1 of the project. The expectation is that this lays the groundwork for a
phase 2 recommendation on the design of social
finance models in order to test out its feasibility within and across
different sectors and national contexts as well as within UNDP context (with
prototypes aimed at the nexus of country and UNDP priorities), and line up a
series of investors and potential partners to implement those prototypes. The
underlining assumption and intention is to test out to what extent the social finance
landscape can leverage UNDP’s presence, experience, and expertise in the region
to support countries to meet their respective national and regional development
priorities.
