Mission and objectivesIstanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (ICPSD) supports the private sector and foundations to become transformative partners in development through research, advocacy for inclusive business, facilitation of public-private dialogue and brokering partnerships. ICPSD, established in 2011 in partnership with the Government of Turkey, is one of UNDP's six Global Policy Centres. It leads UNDP’s global work on private sector and foundations and supports UNDP’s offices all over the world. The Center focuses on four thematic areas: 1. Inclusive Business; 2. Private Sector Engagement in Skills Development; 3. Impact investing; 4. Resilience and Crisis Response. The Center also hosts four global initiatives: Business Call to Action, SDG Philanthropy Platform, Global Islamic Finance and Impact Investing Platform and Connecting Business Initiative.
ContextWe will be working in a SCRUM based process and try to iteratively explore the solutions for the problem. Our partners will be leading the decision-making process and set goals and targets to the team of volunteers to achieve the required outputs. The Lab provides in-house expertise, resources, and research support to various UNDP projects to mainstream digital transformation to development problems and to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Task DescriptionThe online volunteers will assist SDG AI to further develop of an online tool, which can be used to display maps and other information regarding social vulnerability. The tool is a react- next.js application written in JavaScript, tailwind CSS, HTML and Python for backend purposes. It displays web maps with React-Leaflet libraries and will be run in a local web browser as an online application. We need assistance to add more features to the tool, such as menu-items, toggling functions, interactive response mechanisms and more. Furthermore, it will be necessary to deploy the model on an online server (we have one) and run it remotely.
