- 5. Data Innovation - granular and actionable data
Editor's Notes
- UNDP Bangladesh The a2i Public Service Innovation Lab was established by the Prime Minister’s Office with the support of UNDP to focus on bringing information and services to citizens through ICTs. a2i is also developing a culture of innovation in Bangladesh which aims to change mindsets of civil servants to put the citizen at the centre of reform. a2i launched a training that fosters civil servants to adopt empathy as the guiding principle towards policy design. The empathy methodology arranges for government officers to participate in the user journeys and visit citizens access points for services outside of their ministry or area of expertise. This exercise puts them in the “citizens’ shoes” and navigate through the public systems without official or intellectual privileges. UNDP Sri Lanka One key outcome of the Summit was the design of a Social Innovation Lab intended to be a private-public-people endeavour anchored within the Government of Sri Lanka. The lab will provide a safe to fail environment that focuses on social innovation and effective public service delivery, through a function based approach, emphasizing citizen centric design. The lab will be a rapid prototyping facility for development challenges. It will test policy problems, solutions and ideas before implementation or roll out using foresight tools to take into account multiple alternative future scenarios.
- Crowdfunding: UNDP Indonesia launched its first ever crowdfunding campaign: ‘Bring Water for Life’. It achieved its funding target of IDR 350,000,000 from the public, and the money was used to provide clean water access to Napu village’s 500 inhabitants by building a solar-powered water pump system. UNDP Indonesia is now exploring the scale-up of this successful campaign into a bigger SDG platform. Islamic Development Bank The IDBG-UNDP partnership will focus on scaling-up ongoing initiatives, and exploring new opportunities to collaborate for the effective realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in areas including: Project development and implementation around shared priority areas and comparative advantages, such as crisis response and recovery, poverty reduction, youth employment, disaster risk reduction, and climate change. Project delivery will also be supported by joint diagnostics at the request of national governments to overcome implementation bottlenecks through trilateral partnerships to build capacity, design and implement development results effectively Development of private sector partnerships, to promote inclusive markets, business models for inclusive development and increased entrepreneurship; including advancing the Global Islamic Impact Investing Platform for blending Islamic financing and private sector resources in achieving the SDGs Strategy Development/SDG alignment, working together to align key IDBG Member Country Partnership Strategies to the SDGs; contributions to each other’s strategies and programs; and application of social and environmental standards Promoting systematic institutional cooperation, from broadening channels of information exchange, research, analysis and contacts to collaboration on key events; joint monitoring and communications to operationalize the new MOU and action plan.

- Phones against corruption SMS for resp In PNG where corruption is a significant development challenge, the Phones Against Corruption initiative offers a safe space via free mobile messaging for citizens to report corrupt practices. All reported cases are anonymous and referred to the Department of Finance’s Internal Audit and Compliance Division for further investigation in collaboration with relevant state bodies responsible for criminal investigations and prosecution. Within 5 months: Two officials have been arrested for fund mismanagement of more than 2 million dollars. Five more are waiting for court decisions, and approximately other 250 cases are being investigated. The SMS software provider has received requests from Bangladesh, Fiji and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region to explore possible replication in those countries in the near future. And we at the IF are investing in this initiative in 2015 to scale it nationally in PNG alongside the government and the government of Australia http://www.asia-pacific.undp.org/content/rbap/en/home/innovation/project-png-phone-against-corruption/# onsive governance http://www.asia-pacific.undp.org/content/rbap/en/home/ourwork/development-impact/innovation/projects/china-ewaste.html Baidu App Not only is China the 2nd largest e-waste producer in the world, every year 70% global E-waste dumped in China UNDP China partnered with Baidu to create an app that helps make recycling services accessible and convenient for consumers and recycling companies Users can take a photo of their obsolete electronic appliances and then the system automatically identifies the type of the e-waste and estimated price. When users enter contact information, qualified dismantling companies receive a message and arrange for door-to-door pick-up. In 2014, UNDP partnered with Baidu and Ministry of Environmental Protection to establish a Big Data Lab and launch Baidu Recycle, an application (app) developed as a test initiative to improve China’s e-waste recycling. Users take a photo of their old electronic goods with app, which provides them with the name, category and approximate scrap value for the item. It then allows them to order an e-waste pickup service for safe recycling. Within a year, the app arranged for the safe recycling of over 11,429 items, including TVs, computers, and fridges. The service has since been scaled up beyond the original pilot cities of Beijing and Tianjin to 22 cities. Over 250,000 users visit the app per month, with more than 20% using the service. Developed through iterative design and rapid prototyping, the 2.0 version of the app is currently, and has led to the safe disposal of over 5,900 electronic items in average per month. Currently, we are working on a built-in online payment system, and B2B e-waste services, among other improvements.
