United Nations Capital Development Fund Job Positions 2019

United Nations Capital Development Fund(UNCDF) is the UN’s capital investment agency for the world’s least developed countries (LDCs). It creates new opportunities for poor people and their communities by increasing access to inclusive finance and investment capital. Established by the General Assembly in 1966 and with headquarters in New York, UNCDF is an autonomous UN organization affiliated with UNDP.

Based in UNCDF, the Better Than Cash Alliance(BTCA) is a partnership of 70 governments, companies and international organizations that accelerates the transition from cash to digital payments in order to reduce poverty and drive inclusive growth by:

  • Advocating for the transition from cash to digital payments in a way that advances financial inclusion and promotes responsible digital finance.
  • Catalyzing the development of inclusive digital payments ecosystems in member countries to reduce costs, increase transparency, advance financial inclusion– particularly for women– and drive inclusive growth; and
  • Conducting research and sharing the knowledge and experiences of our members to inform strategies for making the transition.

Billions of dollars in cash payments and transfers are made daily in emerging and developing economies, including payment of salaries, social welfare and relief, payments to suppliers, remittances, etc. The problems with these cash payments include a lack of transparency, accountability and security, as well as inefficiency. Individuals who receive cash payments are often part of the 1.7 billion excluded from the formal financial sector.  This means they are excluded from access to a range of appropriate and affordable financial services to help them save safely take advantage of economic opportunities and reduce their vulnerability to risk.

Shifting these payments from cash to digital has the potential to improve the lives of low-income people,

particularly women, while giving governments, the development community and the private sector a more transparent, time and cost efficient, and often-safer means of disbursing payments.

From a corporate perspective, payments completed in the value chain of businesses represent some of the most significant payment flows of national economies. To highlight this impact, the Alliance published a report on “The Future of Supply Chains: Why Companies are Digitizing Payments”showcasing how companies in different business sectors have benefited from digital payments in their supply chains and play an important role in building an inclusive digital payment ecosystem. Thus, the Better Than Cash Alliance is committed to supporting digitization of companies’ payment flows in different business sectors across the corporate payment grid (B2B, B2P, B2G, and P2B).

Ghana Water Company Limited

Ghana Water Company is a utility company, fully owned by the state. The company is responsible for potable water supply to all urban communities in Ghana. Ghana Water Company Limited began the process of transforming its billing processes in August 2016. The transformation process began with the validation of existing customer database and subsequently capturing customer consumption electronically. The concluding part of the process, and arguably the most important part is the payment made by customers after they have been billed at the end of the month. One key objective to be achieved is the digitisation of customer payments. Work has gone into integrating with all mobile platforms, some commercial banks, and other online (mobile) payment platforms. With such integration, customers are able to pay their water bills via mobile money (MTN, Vodafone, Tigo and Airtel); via their bank’s digital payment platforms and online payment platforms like ExpressPay and Slydepay. It is easier now to monitor in real time all payments that are received in respect of water bill collection, and the payments can directly reflect in the customers’ balances.
