UNCDF is looking for an Interoperable Payments System (IPS)[1] Consultant with strong expertise in the technical and technological aspects of the national payments systems, regulation of open payment systems, capacity building of DFSPs on integration requirements and participation rules, regulation around fintech innovation and open APIs. The consultant will also inform the formulation of an industry position paper from a technical and technological standpoint and how it relates to the national payment system’s infrastructure.

The IPS Consultant is expected to be engaged by January 2021 through a non-exclusive Framework Agreement, also known as Long-Term Agreement (LTA), formalized through an Individual Contract (IC). A Framework Agreement is known in UNCDF as an agreement that established terms, conditions and prices that will govern future contracts (known as „call offs” arising from the said Agreement, which could be issued at any time within the duration of the IC).
