Description

UNCDF is the UN’s capital investment agency for the world’s 47 least developed countries. With its capital mandate and instruments, UNCDF offers “last mile” finance models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development.

UNCDF strategy ‘Leaving no one behind in the digital era’ is based on over a decade of experience in digital finance in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. UNCDF recognizes that reaching the full potential of digital financial inclusion in support of the Sustainable Development Goals aligns with the vision of promoting digital economies that leave no one behind. For further detail on UNCDF strategy, refer to; https://www.uncdf.org/article/4931/global-strategy-leaving-no-one-behind-in-the-digital-era

Since 2013, UNCDF has been implementing a market development approach on digital finance in Uganda.  With the support of the Sweden Development Agency (SIDA), UNCDF will execute the “Leaving no one behind in the digital era” strategy in country until 2024 under the “Connect” Rural Uganda Programme. The Programme has the aim to develop an inclusive digital economy in Uganda with a specific focus at empowering rural communities, smallholders’ farmers, agri-business and refugees - to lead productive and healthy lives, by expanding access and usage of digital services.

There is an existing dashboard which is used for designing, developing, testing and deploying robust and scalable big data ETL (Extraction, Transformation, Load) pipelines which support in data analytics and generating key indicators based on simulated and (or) actual telecoms GSM and mobile money data and effectively visualizing UNCDF's qualitative and quantitative data including performance indicators.

UNCDF seeks an individual Consultant to design additional functionalities on the dashboard to improve the user experience, showing results of UNCDF projects and standardize the dashboard data.

 

SCOPE OF WORK

 

UNCDF would like to achieve the following additional tasks related to the data analytics and visualization dashboard:

Standardized dashboard data API

This will offer seamless data exchange between UNCDF and project partners. The API will also automatically enforce required data formats and eliminate file naming conventions currently required before uploading performance reports to SharePoint for preprocessing and updating the dashboard.

Standard application interface for partners to directly upload project performance data

This user interface will allow UNCDF partners with systems not ready to integrate to APIs to directly upload project performance reports. 

Report creation and sharing interface

  • This will allow the creation of reports comparing different data types (for example "Amount of UNCDF investment" versus "Number of beneficiaries reached")
  • These would be easily shared with different team members, donors and other partners and stakeholders.

Converting currently static indicators to dynamic

Certain indicators which are currently static on the dashboard will automatically get updated within the dashboard periodically.
