Background
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in some 170 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges, and coordinating the efforts of the United Nations at the country level. Aiming to eradicate poverty, violence and hunger, UNDP supports countries in Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (ECIS) region to translate economic growth into long-lasting, inclusive human development, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the broader 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The organization works with governments, regional organizations, businesses and communities, helping countries to develop capacity, share knowledge and mobilize funds for sustainable development.Istanbul Innovation Days 2021
The COVID pandemic has triggered, among others, a radical rethink of the development paradigm - both, in a broad sense, as the dominant economic paradigm to view a country's progress through and, in a more narrow sense, as the development sector in itself. In the last few months, we had, on the one hand, those proclaiming the end of multilateralism and questioning the relevance of the SDGs, and on the other hand, calling for embracing post-growth and re-imagining of global institutions. All of this in the midst of renewed questions around democracy, race and inequality and climate-triggered events. In this context, UNDP is rethinking development - as a paradigm and as a sector - and its possible futures as 3 'movements': Movement 1: Questioning identity and its roots - development as a colonial and Western project Our ability to unlock new futures is contingent on re-assessing the past and coming to terms with implications of legacy lock-ins - decisions from the past that are perpetuating structural inequalities. Movement 2: Vibrations in the present- where opportunities for renewal are being shaped This section seeks out those rethinking the basis of society's foundational relationships - with nature, economy, technology, future and ourselves. From building whole-of-society social protection programs in days to designing new digital currencies to fund citywide UBI experiments - it is perhaps not surprising that many of these vibrations are coming from places that have paid the highest costs of these broken relationships. Movement 3: Accelerating the prototyping of alternative narratives - shaping different possible futures. How can we make alternative futures more tangible, so that we can proactively shape our path towards them? This section will encourage participants to get into action mode and give concrete shape to possible futures as a way to understand their implications and counteract the ' imaginary crisis' - 'a deficit of social imagination [in which] many people find it hard to picture a plausible and desirable society a generation or two in the future.' UNDP is organizing the event Istanbul Innovation Days 2021 (IID2021) to position itself as a leading convener and facilitator at all 3 levels, encouraging partners to collaborate on initiatives that accelerate the transition to different futures. Design and structure: The overall structure implies three phases: i. Pre-event: Regional Bureaus facilitate dialogues meant to manifest regionally relevant signals, insights and tensions across the three movements of development and its futures. These can be thought of as Administrator's Innovation Conversations but on a regional level. ii. Main event: within a 24 hour period, the 3 movements are explored each featuring a plenary (framing the conversation) and 3 working sessions (that explore the key dynamics) iii. Post-event: organizational initiatives (eg. Deep Demonstrations, digital transformation, etc.) that demonstrate the acceleration path to different futures, and invite UNDP partners to join them.Duties and Responsibilities
