EMERGING PAYMENT SYSTEMS SPECIALIST
USA
There is an opening for an Emerging Payment Systems Specialist (15+ years'
experience required). Salary range: Up to $635 daily, depending on salary history;
Open period: May 21 - 26, 2013; Position information: Consulting opportunity;
Performance dates: June 23, 2013 to June 28, 2013; Title: New Payment Systems
Technical Capacity Building Workshop; Position reference: 10129. Background and
Scope of Work: From June 23-28, 2013 the U.S. Agency for International
Development, in collaboration with the U.S. Treasury Department (Office of Terrorist
Finance and Financial Crimes), the U.S. Department of Justice (Office of Overseas
Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training); Federal Bureau of Investigation--
Terrorist Financing Operations Section; Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering
Section), and the U.S. Department of State (Bureau of Counter-terrorism, Counter-
terrorism Finance Unit), will be sponsoring the third of three regional workshops in the
Latin America-Caribbean (LAC) region on the subject of "New Payment Systems
Technical Capacity Building Workshop." The purpose of the workshop is to raise
awareness of both the opportunities and risks presented when new payment systems are
introduced within emerging markets and fragile states. The "new payment systems" to
be discussed at this workshop will be broad, including mobile phone-based payment
systems, prepaid cards, virtual currency, and internet exchanges, et al. The workshop
will address the challenges in keeping these systems safe and secure from use and abuse
by money launderers, terrorist financers, narco- and human traffickers, and other
criminal enterprises, particularly when applied in emerging markets and fragile states.
The workshop will provide working level financial crimes policy and operational
representatives from LAC region countries' legal, regulatory, investigation,
enforcement, and prosecution units the opportunity to engage with each other and with
their U.S. Government counterparts on developing systems and capacity necessary to
promote licit and transparent use of new payment systems, at both national and
international levels. Moreover, the LAC region workshop will highlight the potential
for 'lightly regulated' new payment systems a) to increase operational efficiencies
through reduced operational costs, and b) to increase the opaqueness of money flows
both within narco- and human trafficking business models, and between these networks
and more conventional threat finance networks. USAID is seeking a consultant with
subject matter expertise in identifying both the risks and potential disruption/ mitigation
strategies associated with each of the new payment systems. The consultant will also
have experience with providing high-level briefings and trainings to a broad range of
USG and international audiences, including those from legal, regulatory, law

during the technical preparation phase of the workshop and, if requested to do so, will
participate in a post-workshop debriefing session with USAID senior management.
Deliverables: The consultant will: 1) prepare and deliver presentation with guided case
study on the relative risks and opportunities; 2) coordinate with USAID, U.S.
Treasury and Department of Justice workshop team leaders to coordinate presentation
within workshop; 3) prepare and distribute technical reference documents to workshop
participants, before and/ or during workshop including case study and background
reference materials; 4) coordinate with workshop facilitators on the development and
delivery of a workshop read-out and debriefing for senior USAID management, and to
develop 'good practice' outline for subsequent training workshop(s). TO APPLY: Write
