Overview : Under the leadership of the management, the innovation agenda at UNDP South Africa has gained traction in the recent months. Because of the thriving innovation ecosystem in South Africa, UNDP South Africa is also well positioned to play a regional role (primarily in the SADC region, but also beyond). The UNDP Africa innovation facility, managed by the innovation advisor based at the UNDP Regional Service Center in Addis Ababa, is providing financial support to selected countries in the region, while the advisor provides policy support to countries beyond those supported by the facility. The overall objective of this consultancy is to support the work of the UNDP South Africa innovation committee, the work of the regional advisor, particularly in the area of communication and logistical support and provide direct support to the organization of a regional foresight exchange workshop to be held in Pretoria on 30 November to 01 December 2015. |
