B. Background
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Philippines seeks to strengthen its assistance to the government and key stakeholders as they aim to harness digitalization to improve public services and support inclusive socioeconomic development. It established the Pintig Lab as its in-house analytics unit that also leverages its multidisciplinary network of practitioners of data for decision-making. Pintig lab aims to ensure that 1) data-driven policymaking is promoted, 2) the capacity of partners in government, civil society, and within the UNDP country office to use data for decision-making is increased, and 3) the data ecosystem for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is strengthened.
Pintig Lab was founded in 2020 to assist the government in bolstering its use of data for COVID-19 pandemic response and recovery. Through the years, the service offering of Pintig Lab has necessarily evolved from the application of advanced data analytics tools and towards building robust data systems and accompanying partners in their respective digital transformation journeys. Over the last three years, the interventions of Pintig Lab in digitalization and analytics have expanded into various domains, with active and forthcoming engagements in 2025 in local disaster resilience, climate and SDG finance, enterprise development, and democratic governance and institutions, among others.
UNDP PHโs Pintig Lab requires the services of an Enterprise Architect who will provide quality expert advice to internal and external partners in the design of digital solutions for various socioeconomic development domains. The Enterprise Architect will accompany stakeholders in determining business needs, defining digitalization goals, and specifying the requirements for software and other solutions development.
