UNDP is calling for proposals for Accelerated Implementation Framework for Education, Health, Agriculture, and Energy in Pakistan.
Scope of Work
The SDG Acceleration Framework will be developed on the underlying theory of change focusing on how the identification of accelerators, the interventions that enable those accelerators, the bottlenecks that impede progress of the interventions, and the solutions to address those bottlenecks, enhances a country’s ability to prioritize actions to achieve the SDGs and how this in turn enables progress across the SDGs and the national development goals.
Key Activities
- Identifications of accelerators and drivers: Review of provincial strategy/ies, sectoral policies and plans (identified ones) with the view to identify provincial and sectoral priorities, areas that are lagging and the marginalized groups
- Based on the above, define accelerators having the potential to expedite progress on the set-out priorities by the provincial government/departments and push the lagging behind areas
- Ensure specificity of the identified accelerators in order to exclude broadness and ambiguity
- Identify challenges including political, social, economic and regional etc. that can potentially hamper the progress on the identified accelerators
- Identify the drivers to enable progress on the accelerators while addressing the challenges
- Ensure multiplier effect of the identified accelerators for the selected sectors across the interlinked SDGs as well as to all the dimensions of SDGs including social, economic, environment and governance
- Conduct quantitative analysis based on secondary data sets like MICS, PSLM, PDHS, LFS, National Nutrition Survey and stakeholder engagement as key processes to inform the above process
- Prepare a brief note on the utility of each identified and agreed upon accelerator covering the key accelerator, key challenges for each accelerator, impact of the challenges and importance of addressing these, drivers enabling the progress on the accelerators, contribution of each accelerator to provincial and departmental priorities, prioritization of the provincial SDG Framework and engagement of stakeholders in the above process
- The above process must result in a set 0f accelerators, key drivers for each accelerator having the potential to enable progress on the accelerator, sketch of the potential contribution of accelerators towards the primary and secondary SDGs and the associated targets while keeping in view the social, economic, environmental and governance dimensions of sustainable development
