The African Development Bank is Looking For a Financial Services Expert To Support The Youth Entrepreneurship Investment Banks initiative Freelance Professional
The African Development Bank Group, through its Human Capital, Youth and Skills Development and Financial Sector Development Departments, is seeking the services of an individual financial services expert to support the youth entrepreneurship investment banks (YEIB) initiative.
The assignment is in two parts:
(i) to support the Bank in the design of the YEIB Initiative and
(ii) to support the implementation of YEIBs.
The purpose of this assignment is to support AfDB’s regional member countries’ local counterparties in the design of or implementation of additional financial services for youth entrepreneurs as well as to ensure better structures and functioning (and referral systems) of already existing financial services in relevant YEIB countries. The FS expert may also facilitate regional financial support structures.). At a national level, each YEIB will provide financial and non-financial services to youth entrepreneurs. A Regional Centre of Excellence will most likely complement the YEIB model and facilitate its roll-out for regional member countries. It is expected that the Financial Services (FS) expert will be part of the Centre.
