Saameynta Phase II, jointly implemented by IOM, UNDP and UN-Habitat, is scaling up government-led, area-based solutions to protracted urban displacement in Baidoa and Bossaso. Under Outcome 3, UNDP is responsible for strengthening displacement-affected cooperatives and improving their access to finance, with particular attention to women and youth.
The objective of the assignment is to design and prepare for operationalization a locally anchored innovative financing mechanism that expands sustainable access to finance for displacement-affected communities, cooperatives and enterprises in Baidoa and Bossaso. The assignment will strengthen selected cooperatives, develop fit-for-purpose financial products and operating systems, and establish a practical pathway for progressively leveraging local financial institutions, de-risking instruments, concessional finance, development finance and impact investment. It is expected to move beyond a diagnostic study.
