Launch webinar - Financing Pathways for UN Leaders: A Strategic Guide
The financing landscape for development is changing. At the same time, UN organizations face growing expectations in a funding environment that is increasingly constrained, earmarked and unpredictable.
This presents UN leaders with two connected challenges: how to strengthen the financial resilience of their own organizations, and how to build the readiness to help mobilize and align wider flows of finance towards sustainable development outcomes.
How can leaders navigate these challenges, protect delivery and make informed choices about the financing pathways available to them?
Join the United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC), through the UN Lab for Organizational Change and Knowledge (UNLOCK), for the launch of our new paper, Financing Pathways for UN Leaders: A Strategic Guide.
To accommodate colleagues across regions and time zones, the webinar will be offered twice. The content will be the same, so participants only need to register for one session:
- 2 December, 09:00-10:30 CET (You are registering for this one)
- 3 December, 14:30-16:00 CET
The webinar will introduce a practical framework to help UN leaders understand different financing pathways and determine how financing choices can be matched to the problem at hand, organizational needs and institutional readiness.
We will explore:
- the structural financing pressures affecting UN organizations;
- two complementary financing pathways: strengthening the UN's own funding architecture, and selectively mobilizing or aligning capital beyond the UN through innovative and blended finance;
- the principle of proportional escalation, and what different levels of financing engagement entail; and
- the capabilities, governance and institutional readiness needed to engage effectively with different financing approaches.
The session will provide an opportunity to explore these ideas and consider what they mean in practice for UN organizations navigating the shift from funding to financing.
