Background |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Since 2020, the UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub for Asia-Pacific (BRH) in collaboration with ALC (a social innovation lab) supports a few UNDP Country Offices (CO) implement ‘Social Innovation Platforms’ (SIP) to strengthen Local governance, enhance social cohesion and accelerate the localization of the SDGs at the subnational level. This work also helps UNDP comprehend the opportunities and challenges to develop platforms, codesign portfolios of interconnected development solutions and mobilize new public and private partnerships. Building on encouraging results, UNDP wants to accelerate implementation of Social Innovation Platforms and build capacities to scale regionally and globally, including by codifying the SIP approach, developing tools to track progress, measure impact, and attract investments. In this context, the Local Governance team in BRH and in UNDP HQ seeks a Junior consultant to develop (with ALC) tools to codify SIP, monitor and communicate changes in perceptions, attitudes and wider systemic transformations generated by SIPs. Objective: The purpose of this procurement exercise is to contract an individual consultant who will, in close collaboration with team members, help develop materials and processes to monitor, analyze and communicate changes in perceptions, attitudes and wider systemic transformations that are generated by Social Innovation Platforms (SIP). |
