• Background.
• UNDP is the knowledge frontier organisation for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realise the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP's policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan.
• Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policies and guidance to support the results of UNDP's Strategic Plan. BPPS's staff provides technical advice to Country Offices; advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government, and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas. BPPS works closely with UNDP's Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. BPPS ensures that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP's development programmes. BPPS assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results-based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working. BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, and data-driven, including in its programme support efforts.

The projects are managed in the corporate ERP system, and support to participating countries and agencies is coordinated by the UNDP Nature Hub at UNDP HQ in New York (within BPPS). Global projects in the area of nature conservation and sustainable development involve direct engagement with Responsible Parties (RPs) and subcontractors, and in some cases (when projects presuppose ground activities) with country offices.
• As part of these efforts, UNDP, with anchor investment from partners such as the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of Germany and in consultation with partners such as the Tiger Conservation Coalition (TCC), is leading the development and operationalization of several blended finance instruments, including the Tiger Landscapes Investment Facility (TLIF). The TLIF is developed in response to the urgent need to catalyze private sector investments into nature-positive businesses that contribute to the protection, restoration, and sustainable management of Tiger Landscapes.
• The TLIF is uniquely structured to mobilize private sector capital predominantly from domestic financial institution. The TLIF is structured to have two arms. The Technical Assistance Facility (TA facility) aims to work with the local stakeholders, conservation organizations, and institutions - government and private - to develop pipelines of investable projects. An innovative and fit-for-purpose guarantee facility - administered by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) - provided to the local financial institutions to enable lending to those pipelines of projects created through the support of the TA facility. The TLIF is also designed to have a unique governance structure that represents the donors, the investors and members of the Tiger Conservation Coalition (TCC).

Local financial institutions are expected to have the system, processes and capacity to lend for business activities that bring nature-positive outcomes. Public bodies and regulators in target countries are expected to be capacitated to contribute, both financially and technically, to the Tiger Landscapes Investment Facility.
