SCOPE OF WORK, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ANALYTICAL WORK
The primary responsibility of the Learning Specialist is to redesign the course on “Integrated Approaches to Mainstreaming, Acceleration and Policy Support for the SDGs”, using the state-of-the-art methodologies for adult learning.
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, a participant is expected to be able to:
• Understand and use the theoretical frameworks of UN approaches to integrated policy in his/her development practice.
• Support Governments to diagnose development challenges from a systems-thinking and cross-sectoral perspective.
• Take part in inter-agency and inter-disciplinary teams to support UNCTs and Governments on integrated approaches to SDG implementation which could take the form of technical analysis, policy design and/or strategic priority setting.
• Design integrated policy options that manage and harness interlinkages across SDGs and sectors.
• Deploy analytical tools and methodologies for policy integration.
• Apply integrated policy thinking on post-emergency, humanitarian and/or recovery contexts.
• Support analysis of SDG accelerators.
The proposed modality is a self-paced course covering the following proposed topics:
• Mixed method course with online modules and facilitated interactions such as webinars and online workshops.
• Each module to have “Knowledge Clips” – explanatory videos that may include recording of a speaker/lecturer, animation (explaining key concepts), infographics (infographics with audio), and/or animated text.
• Allow interactive map (i.e. Padlet) – so e-course participants can mark themselves on the map and introduce themselves.
• Introduce community board for participants to meet, discuss and network (this could be supported by UNDP’s Sparkblue)
• 1-2 relevant webinars (that are part of IPPN Knowledge café series, but in line with e-course material) or virtual classroom session.
Proposed scope of the e-course:
• A user journey that maps out the processes for delivering integrated policy support to countries and that explains the relevance of the course in that work
• How integrated policy support promotes the acceleration of the SDGs
• Development and humanitarian policies, programmes and processes that require integrated policy support
• Tools, methods and datasets that advance integrated policy support
