- Develop a work plan for implementing the private finance related activities of the Global Child Project - Develop and launch a Guidance on how financial institutions can support the transition to low/no chemical and plastic pollution in the agriculture sector, including gender and social inequality risks: The Global Child Project will invest in building awareness of the issues and developing a guidance document produced with the inputs of experts and of interested financial institutions for their use in supporting the transition to low/no chemical and plastic pollution in the agriculture sector. The Guidance will build on previous work of UNEP Finance Initiative including best practices from the Principles of Responsible Banking and natural capital to identify concrete steps financial institutions may take to support the reduction and management of pesticides and agricultural plastics. The Guidance will be developed through the support of expert consultants. - Coordinate and support the development of a Feasibility Study for the possible development of a methodology or tool to support financial institutions to assess risks and impacts related to chemical and plastic pollution in their agriculture-related portfolios: Building on the previous work of the UNEP Finance Initiative, for example the ENCORE tool, this work ultimately aims to enable financial institutions to reorient financing away from these kinds of risks and impacts to more sustainable agricultural activities. This work will consist in running a feasibility study, to be conducted with an external partner, as follows: o scope the tool or methodology to be developed, o assess user needs to identify specific gaps and requirements from a functionality perspective, which could respond to user needs and enhance uptake/usability of the tool, o explore the potential use or further development of existing tools. - Hold periodic finance coordination meetings with other Child Projects, with the view to share lessons learned, experience and resources between the Global Child Project and other GEF FARM child projects. - Support the deployment of the FARM Programme communication strategy towards the private finance community, in coordination with the FARM Programme and UNEP FI communication specialists - Support the periodic reporting to GEF related to FARM Programme, especially by coordinating the periodic reporting related to private finance related activities. - Coordinate, as relevant, with relevant UNEP / UNEP FI teams, with the executing agencies of the Global Child Project and other agencies involved in other GEF FARM child projects and with relevant experts and partners.
