IDIA Learning Partner - Emerging Technologies

The International Development Innovation Alliance is currently establishing a Community of Practice (CoP) focused on exploring development agencies’ programming and investments in emerging technologies. The emphasis of this work will be on understanding how the principles of localisation and responsibility can be reflected in EmTech programming, identifying metrics and indicators as a basis to capture data on current effectiveness as well as inform improvements to programming in the future. The CoP aims to facilitate knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and learning among staff of IDIA member agencies, as well as external partners, to ultimately improve the effectiveness of EmTech initiatives in developing contexts.

IDIA seeks to engage a Learning Partner to support the CoP, playing a crucial role in facilitating, documenting, and disseminating the CoP's activities and findings. The Learning Partner should ideally be a Global South-based individual or organisation that can provide hands-on implementation support to conduct activities and analysis, provide in-depth technical expertise on emerging technologies and Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEL), and support the activities of the CoP with deep contextual knowledge from developing countries, with a preference for the African context.
