We are looking for a junior staff to support a) products and services delivery b) operation and projects management. You will contribute to manage the delivery of products and services, as well as ensure that the projects and the overall operations of JuST Institute are implemented according to their activities plan.

a) JuST Institute has developed and piloted a set of key products and services aiming to catalyse market development towards climate, biodiversity and inclusive finance. Please refer to our website for more details on our products and services: https://justinstitute.org/

  • Analysis and Certification: we assess and certify the capacity of financial institutions to support climate and biodiversity activities of their (smallholder farmers) clients and manage their climate and biodiversity risks. In addition, we assess and certify the climate and biodiversity benefits of the portfolio of inclusive financial services providers.
  • Training and Capacity building: we train and coach financial institutions on how to identify (and manage) climate and biodiversity risks. This includes lessons on how to finance more sustainable practices and technologies to support climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation, with a specific focus on smallholder farmers.
  • Operational and Strategic Advisory: we support investors to structure their financial products and funds to finance a just transition, e.g. inclusive sustainability linked financing (ISLF+). For this, we structure and monitor the extra-financial part of financial products. In addition, we support financial institution financing smallholder farmers, micro or small and medium enterprises to develop and commercialize green products and services, for climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation.

b) JuST Institute develops and implements projects for its members, partners, and clients to support a just transition. These projects focus on creating scalable and sustainable financing for climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation, particularly for smallholder farmers worldwide. Examples of these projects are: the GEF – IFAD - BNPP project “Certification of Climate Change Adaptation Portfolios of Inclusive Financial Service Providers for Scaling up Adaptation Finance for Smallholder Farmers (“CCA Certificates 4 IFSPs”)" andthe GEF – IFAD – GCAMF project "Indicators and Framework for Climate Change Adaptation and Biodiversity conservation finance for Smallholders and Rural communities: leveraging private and public finance".
