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 Turkey, is one of UNDP's six Global Policy Centres. It leads UNDPโs global work on private sector and foundations and supports UNDPโs 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.
ContextThis task supports the Tech4R initiative by UNDP ICPSD, which mobilizes digital volunteers to develop open-source tools that strengthen disaster preparedness and response. As Tech4R grows, a well-designed website is essential to showcase its work, attract partners, and support volunteers. The online volunteerโs contribution will help create a clear, engaging, and accessible web presence aligned with Tech4Rโs goals. The design will follow existing brand guidelines and be coordinated closely with the team. The online volunteer will receive regular feedback and collaborate with other online contributors as needed.
