Detalles de la oferta

Results for Development (R4D) is a leading non-profit global development partner. We collaborate with change agents around the world — government officials, civil society leaders and social innovators — to create strong systems that support healthy, educated people. We help our partners move from knowing their goal to knowing how to reach it. We combine global expertise in health, education and nutrition with analytic rigor, practical support for decision-making and implementation and access to peer problem-solving networks. Together with our partners, we build self-sustaining systems that serve everyone and deliver lasting results. Then we share what we learn so others can achieve results for development, too. We have a unique and vibrant culture at R4D. Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the heart of our work environment and help advance our mission. Diversity—of ideas, identities, perspectives and backgrounds—is vital to who we are and what we do. We seek people who embrace these values and will help reinforce them. Our work culture is collaborative, creative and entrepreneurial. We operate based on trust and respect. Teams across the organization frequently collaborate on programmatic work and support each other in continuously building a better R4D. Contract type: 6-month Fixed Term Contract, April 2024 – March 2025. Part time: 60% (3 days per week). Please note that funding for this role is confirmed through March 2025, with on-going funding anticipated for an additional 3-5 years beyond that. About the Innovation Practice Around the world, individuals and institutions are finding new ways to work faster and smarter to address pressing challenges in health, education and nutrition systems. By adapting innovations to different contexts, creating novel approaches and solutions, and anticipating possible futures, these change agents are delivering better outcomes for citizens and challenging systemic inequalities. In partnership with change agents, we facilitate the scale-up of innovations — addressing supply and demand-side barriers to scaling the impact of individuals or cohorts of innovations. We also facilitate the strengthening of innovation ecosystems — addressing specific gaps, weaknesses and inefficiencies in the environment that are constraining innovation and scaling processes. To achieve these goals, we work with a range of innovation ecosystem actors, including social entrepreneurs, governments, civil society organisations and development agencies. Scope of Work (SoW) R4D is soliciting offers from individuals, firms and organizations to serve as a Sr. Innovation Advisor (hereafter "Contractor") based in Colombia to support our global Innovation Practice. This opportunity represents a chance to support on one of R4D's flagship innovation programmes, the Frontier Technologies Hub (FT Hub), funded by the UK's Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The Contractor will work closely with a collaborative programme team which embraces innovation and learning together, and build a new workstream in the Frontier Tech Hub (FT Hub) that mobilises local ecosystem actors around a demand-led frontier technology solution. Objective of the consultancy: The 'Demand-Led' workstream will focus on identifying truly local and demand-driven challenges in low/middle-income contexts which can be addressed through the application of frontier technology solutions. We define 'demand' as the request / articulation of interest for a particular product or service (the innovation) by potential adopters of the innovation (which could include governments, civil society and/or target users in the general population). The Contractor will work collaboratively with the FT Hub Demand-Led team led by R4D as well as the FCDO country post and their local ecosystem network (governments, multi/bi- laterals, CSOs and NGOs) to explore and identify demand-led solutions. The Contractor will report to the FT Hub Programme Manager (based in London).

Develop and manage strong relationships with key ecosystem stakeholders in country and identify opportunities to forge formal and informal working partnerships. Identify creative ways to develop knowledge and understanding of how emerging technologies can be applied to development challenges. Create crisp, impactful content and effectively adapt it for presentation to relevant audiences. Plan and lead engaging and productive meetings and workshops with key local stakeholders with support from the Workstream Lead.
