The United Nations Development Programme is now accepting applications to support policy reform and financial sector development.
The focus areas of the assignment include credit reporting frameworks, secured transactions systems, financial sector regulation, credit information market performance, movable asset-based lending practices, MSME financing access, movable asset valuation methodologies, institutional capacity building, tourism sector financing opportunities, policy reform development, market expansion strategies, and financial inclusion in the tourism industry.
The objective of the assignment is to assess and strengthen the Movable Asset-Based Lending ecosystem in Uganda’s tourism sector with support from the European Union. It aims to develop an actionable reform and expansion roadmap to scale asset-based finance within the industry.
The assignment includes evaluating the legal, regulatory, and institutional framework governing credit reporting and secured transactions. It also examines the structure, performance, and supervision of the credit information market, as well as current MABL practices among financial institutions and MSMEs.
Further analysis includes assessing movable asset valuation methodologies, institutional capacity, and tourism sector financing opportunities. The work also involves developing a comprehensive policy reform and market expansion roadmap to support improved access to asset-based lending.
The scope of work covers four integrated components, including policy and institutional diagnostics, market assessment of lending practices, evaluation of valuation systems, and tourism sector opportunity analysis focused on key assets such as safari vehicles, hotel equipment, ICT systems, and tourism receivables.
The assignment also requires engagement with stakeholders across government, financial institutions, regulators, private sector actors, and MSMEs. Strong analytical, research, and reporting capabilities are essential, along with familiarity with Uganda’s financial and regulatory environment.
