Mission and objectivesIstanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (IICPSD) 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. IICPSD, established in 2011 in partnership with the Government of Turkiye, 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.
ContextThe Tech4R initiative mobilizes digital volunteers to co-create innovative solutions for disaster risk reduction. As part of the Warehouse Coordination prototype, AI (Artificial Intelligence) agents and data science tools are being integrated to optimize processes. We require AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning) expertise to ensure these tools are technically sound, efficient, and scalable.
Task DescriptionThe online volunteer will support the development and adaptation of AI/ML models, support coding, and conduct data analysis to strengthen prototype functionality. Tasks include integrating AI agents, analyzing datasets, and producing recommendations for optimization. The assignment is expected to take 10-15 hours per week over 8 weeks, with flexibility to adjust depending on project milestones.
