Desertification, along with climate change and the loss of biodiversity were identified as the greatest challenges to sustainable development during the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. Established in 1994, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), one of the three “Rio conventions” is the sole legally binding international agreement linking environment and development to sustainable land management.
The Global Mechanism (GM) is an organ of the UNCCD that is mandated to support country Parties to the Convention in the mobilization of resources for its implementation. With the view to increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of existing financial mechanisms, the GM is requested to promote “actions leading to the mobilization and channeling of substantial financial resources, including for the transfer of technology, on a grant, and/or on concessional or other terms, to affected developing country Parties” (Article 21, para. 4, UNCCD). The Global Mechanism is currently spearheading several initiatives to implement its resources mobilization mandate and respond to Parties’ need for innovative approaches to attain the Convention’s aims.
These initiatives include:
(i) A transformative projects and programme initiative to support countries in the development of projects and programmes through the provision of technical support in the design and preparation of investable proposals, jointly with partners, drawing on a refined process of Land Degradation Neutrality target setting.
(ii) The development of innovative financial and investments vehicles, under the framework of the Business 4 Land initiative, aiming at channeling resources from private, impact and institutional investors into projects contributing to land degradation neutrality.

Under the overall supervision of the Managing Director, in close collaboration with the LDN and Land Restoration Programme Coordinator and direct supervision of the Project Officer, the incumbent will be responsible for supporting the design of impactful large-scale programmes and projects in priority geographies and ecosystems and providing advice on emerging financing opportunities.

5. Initiate and coordinate with Parties and technical partners to support outreach, promote the project and mobilize funds from development partners and public/private financing institutions.
