- The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. Its mandate is to coordinate the development of environmental policy consensus by keeping the global environment under review and bringing emerging issues to the attention of governments and the international community for action. The UNEP Latin America and the Caribbean Office (LACO), located in Panama City, Panama, works closely with the 33 countries of the region and its activities are integrated into the Medium-Term Strategy and the Programme of Work approved by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA). UNEP is the institution responsible for implementing Outputs 2.4 and 2.7 of the Flagship Project under Outcome 2 [Increased capacity and capability in private, public sector, and civil society for policy reform, to catalyze investments and to access resources are resulting in restoration actions on the ground and implementation within Flagship Initiatives] in articulation with their cooperation and in-country implementing partners. The workstream implemented by UNEP is focused on collating, adapting, and developing financial incentives, instruments, and mechanisms to support the implementation of restoration actions and sustainable productive activities in three of the Central America Dry Corridor (CADC) countries, namely El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. The Central American Dry Corridor was one of the Flagship Initiatives selected to contribute to the implementation of the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration per both regional and national commitments. Aiming to scale up restoration at the landscape level by improving the design and dissemination of restoration models to accelerate implementation and by building the needed legal frameworks and financial incentives, this initiative will also generate evidence of the restoration benefits by contributing to the quality of life of rural families and regional efforts for a green recovery. The project will be led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), the delivery of the different outcomes will involve not only FAO, but also the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the Central American Integration System (SICA), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), as well as other relevant partners (e.g. Center for International Forestry Research - CIFOR). UNEP's Latin America and the Caribbean office requires additional capacity, in the form of a Financial Expert consultant for this Flagship with experience in environmental finance, administration or economics. This will include promoting dialogues with financial institutions and potential investors for the financing of productive landscape restoration (Product 2.4/2.7, Activity 2). The consultant will report to the UNEP Programme Management Officer UN-REDD+ for Latin America and Caribbean Office and will work from home.
