Jobs in Tanzania: Head of Solution Mapping Job Vacancy Dar es salaam at UNDP Tanzania | Deadline: 08th March, 2019
AJIRA TANZANIA 2019 / NAFASI ZA KAZI 2019
Background
The
UNDP Strategic Plan 2018-2021 embraces the complexity of development
and commits the organization to helping countries find faster, more
durable solutions to achieve Agenda 2030. Important development trends
like urbanization, climate change, and rising inequalities pose
significant challenges on our path to achieve the 2030 agenda of
achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
UNDP has begun incubating a number of strategic initiatives aimed at ensuring UNDP is ‘fit for purpose’ to deliver a new generation of solutions in line with the challenges the world faces. One such key strategic initiatives is the Country Accelerator Lab Network. The initiative is a recognition that increasingly interrelated development challenges require going beyond business as usual and single point, linear and silver bullet responses in development. Instead, they call for an interdisciplinary approaches and non-linear solutions that crowd in the collective efforts of variety of partners and tap into local insights and the knowledge of people closest to the problem and the solutions. The initiative is also a recognition and an investment in the emerging momentum among a growing number of UNDP Country Offices around joining together disruptive, cutting edge methodologies with contextual, country-based insights and expertise to accelerate impact and progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals

US:
We
are building the largest and fastest learning global network of
Accelerator Labs (initially setting up 60 labs in 60 countries) embedded
within UNDP’s global architecture and country platforms. The new
offering builds on the latest thinking from the fields of complexity
science, lead user innovation and collective intelligence to accelerate
development impact.
Our network will surface and reinforce locally sourced solutions at scale while mobilizing a wide and dynamic partnership of actors contributing knowledge, resources and experience. The idea is to transform our collective approach by introducing new protocols, backed by evidence and practice, which accelerate the testing and dissemination of solutions within and across countries. This will enable the global community to collectively learn from local knowledge and ingenuity at a speed and at a scale that our societies and planet require. This will be achieved by:
- Building on locally-sourced solutions, finding things that work and expanding on them;
- Rapid testing and iteration to implement what works and go beyond the obvious solutions;
- Combining the best understanding, ideas and expertise to generate collective knowledge;
- Accelerating progress by bringing expertise, creativity and collective intelligence to bear.
