Swahili-speaking Climate Finance Expert Job at Norwegian Refugee Council in Tanzania

 Job Vacancy: Swahili-speaking Climate Finance Expert at Norwegian Refugee Council

Job Description

In partnership with Norges Vel, we are implementing a long term project to strengthen food security for millions of consumers in Tanzania by increasing small-scale food producers’ productivity, market access, and climate resilience.

You can be a part of this exciting and impactful project as we are currently recruiting a Climate Finance Expert for a 12-month assignment with possible extension. You will work at Norges Vel´s offices in Msasani, Dar es Salaam. As you will be working closely at community level, fluency in Swahili is a prerequisite for this role.

Context

Climate change poses a multifaceted threat to the most vulnerable populations, with potential negative impacts that are challenging to anticipate and therefore address beforehand. Access to financial products that helps improve the adaptive capabilities and build resilience of the most vulnerable groups, especially smallholder farmers in rural areas, will be of critical importance going forward. This might include – without being limited to – a range of tailored financial loans to vulnerable farmers, climate-related insurance limiting negative effects of extreme weather and adapted fin/tech solutions to receive both accurate weather information and technical and financial assistance to act upon.

Norges Vel and NORCAP have decided to embark on a collaboration focusing on developing financial services to meet the needs of small-scale food producers. To begin with, the aim is to get a complete overview of the challenges among the target group, the financial services available and potential gaps or challenges between the two.

Purpose:

Develop insights on enhancing the resilience and adaptive capabilities of small-scale food producers to climate shocks through financial inclusion.

Identify viable business models for financial service providers to support populations affected by climate change in a way that benefit both financial service producers and its clients – in particular target producers supported under the Norges Vel programme.

Evaluate the sustainability and impact of existing financial products on accelerating climate adaptation and community resilience, with specific emphasis on rice farmers targeted under the NV programme.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

*Conducting a scoping study mapping of financial services providers with a focus on agriculture and collating a complete overview of the type of financial services offered by whom and with what conditions to rural lenders in selected project districts including their strengths and weaknesses.

*Develop a clear understanding of the current risks and barriers that the target population is currently facing with extreme weather conditions and how this affects their livelihoods, as well as current financial service providers limitations in supporting them in terms of type of products/services available and their accessibility (information and awareness, contracting products and services, effective use –including fin tech literacy, etc.)

*Assess to what extent climate services and data from climate service providers (including the National Met Service) would be useful to financial institutions, and how, specifically when it comes to exposure and risk assessment for clients in vulnerable situations.
