Digitalisation and regional outreach consultant (2 posts) | ПРООН

UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality, and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups, and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.

UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

In 2021, in light of the volatile situation with COVID-19 restrictions, the DIA Support Project, together with qualified CSOs and their coalitions/consortia, will have a piloting stage of a regional tour to test for an optimum model of a more extensive road trip in 2022. While the civil society partner or a coalition of CSOs are expected to conceptualise the pilot regional tour, they are not expected to have all the necessary subject-matter expertise on board.

As such, the UNDP DIA Support Project is committed to supplanting the organisational, logistical, outreach, and dialogue-shaping capacities of the competitively selected partner CSO or coalition with external expertise in areas of digital transformation, digital literacy, digital service design, and reengineering or cognate topics.

Hence, UNDP Ukraine is looking for a Digitalisation and Regional Outreach Consultant who is seen as an integral member of the pilot tour team, adding their expertise and credibility to the discussions and supporting the success of the undertaken effort in the field. The Consultant is expected to: attend at least 4 of the regional events (2 consultants covering a total of 8 events); help UNDP answer the questions and concerns of the people consulted in the regions in a balanced manner – without downplaying the risks or exaggerating the difficulties that may be faced; help the UNDP team compile a balanced and informative FAQ database on human-centered digital transformation.

Scope of services

Each of the two hired Consultants will be attached to a region, established in the result of the grant competition. A successful CSO applicant for the pilot regional tour will conduct collaborative sessions in at least two regions. Consultant 1 will be attached to the Region 1 and Consultant 2 will be attached to the Region 2. However, we envision the possibility to cross-engage Consultants, namely Consultant 1 to Region 2 and Consultant 2 to Region 1.

It is anticipated that the Consultant will engage in the following types of activities in close consultation with UNDP and MDT teams:

  1. Based on previous sociological research and available materials (to be provided by UNDP and sought by the Consultant themselves), prepare a set of top-30 “tricky questions” that citizens may raise regarding digital transformation – focusing on the technical details, data security, legal limitations and prospects, economy, social impact and other relevant themes. Propose answers to these questions in anticipation of the pilot regional tour trips;
  2. Closely work with the CSO / consortium in preparation of up to 8 regional events. Serve as part of the design team, provide feedback and contribute to the design of the agendas in each of the pilot tour locations;
  3. As part of the MDT / UNDP / CSO or consortium team, visit at least 4 regional locations (2 consultants covering 8 localities), deliver presentations as necessary and agreed at the tour design stage, lead on answering the queries of participants, offer other assistance as may be necessary throughout the tour;
  4. Draft parts of the final report on the pilot tour in partnership with the CSO / consortium, summarizing the meetings held in the 8 localities and offering inputs into the recommendations for the 2022 core tour;
  5. Participate in working meetings and events other than the regional tour visits alongside MDT, UNDP and / or the partner CSO / consortium, as necessary and in connection with the regional tour or citizen outreach. Provide brief consultations to the UNDP DIA Support team as necessary on issues of digital transformation.
