UNDP Europe and Central Asia is launching the Ministry of Data (MoD) handbook – a guide to run successful data innovation challenges, co-created and tested with UNDP Country Offices across the RBEC region.
The Innovation team at UNDP Europe and Central Asia will launch the handbook during a webinar next week on November 23, 2021, at 12:00 (Istanbul time): https://undp.zoom.us/j/85099153281. During the webinar, the handbook will be presented by Andreas Pawelke (MoD Handbook Content Designer), and Aditi Soni (MoD Handbook Service Designer), which will be followed by a panel discussion with Country Offices and AccLabs, who have designed and led successful data challenges, and contributed to developing the resource with their insights and experience. Panel discussion participants will include: Aizhan Kapysheva, UNDP Accelerator Lab Kazakhstan; Ana Seke, UNDP Serbia; Dumitru Vasilescu, UNDP Moldova; and Nargiza Saparova, UNDP Tajikistan.
The MoD Handbook provides a customizable data innovation challenge model for targeted data engagement, intermediation and use. It equips UNDP Country Offices, AccLabs and anyone else working on data innovation projects with the processes, methods and tools to design data innovation challenges that leverage collective intelligence as a way to tackle local development issues.
The MoD Handbook outlines a step-by-step approach to apply the MoD methodology. This will enable teams to customize their data innovation challenges based on a number of factors, ranging from target groups to data access and available resources.
The handbook was co-created with UNDP Country Offices from Europe and Central Asia. It contains stories and experiences from some of the past challenges and their journeys, lessons learnt and resources. Its creation is possible thanks to the generous support of the Slovak Ministry of Finance under the framework of the Transformative Governance and Finance Facility II.
