Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

In December 2020, UNDP Guinea-Bissau launched its Accelerator Lab, which is a new service offering that works with people, governments and the private sector to reimagine development for the 21st century. Through long-standing partnerships with governments, we are creating a new capacity for decision makers to explore, experiment and develop mutually reinforcing portfolios of solutions to address complex challenges from multiple angles.

The purpose of the Accelerator Lab surrounds the frontier challenge that encompasses the provision of public services, more specifically "basic and quality public services" to narrow the focus of the Lab's projects. Importantly, the Accelerator Lab's methodology draws on local solutions that already work – whether it's a popular invention, an alternative policy solution, or a business that makes the world a better place. The Accelerator Lab radically drives learning about what works, operating as a globally integrated network where each lab learns from the rest, exploring multiple solutions simultaneously, and designing experiments that teach us whether solutions can work and grow in weeks or weeks, months instead of years. The Accelerator Lab network is part of UNDP's broader efforts to expand the way the organization invests, thinks and delivers development.

With the anniversary of the first year of the Accelerator Lab rapidly approaching, it is necessary to summarize the work carried out by the team. The annual report will serve as an opportunity for reflection, beginning to create an action plan for the year 2021–22 and synthesis of learning.

The task of the volunteer is to review a document which outlines the work of the Accelerator Lab completed between 2020/21 and uniform the writing. The text should be written in collective first person, to make sure the entire document language is uniform, before it is sent to the designer who will format and add media.

Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, or English, combined with up to 3 years of previous writing and proofreading experience.
