United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), the UN’s flagship catalytic blended financing platform, supports market development by enabling access to finance in high-risk environments through financial instruments, mechanisms, and advisory services. With a unique mandate, UNCDF blends and deploys grants, loans, and guarantees alongside related advisory support.The Pacific Digital Economy Programme (PDEP), launched in 2020 by UNCDF, UNDP, and UNCTAD, works closely with public and private stakeholders to build inclusive digital economies across Pacific nations, including Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Republic of Marshall Islands, and Cook Islands. Inclusive digital economies empower rural communities, women, MSMEs, and labor mobility workers to participate in markets, driving poverty reduction, improved livelihoods, and economic growth.This assignment aims to conduct a Scoping Exercise on MSMEs and start-ups in FSM to assess the entrepreneurial landscape, identify structural barriers and skill gaps, and provide evidence-based recommendations for capacity-building and curriculum enhancement at the College of Micronesia—ultimately fostering sustainable growth and digital inclusion.Please indicate whether you intend to submit a bid by creating a draft response without submitting directly in the system.
