Mission and objectivesThe UNDP Sustainable Energy Hub is a network of partners that work alongside countries to transform energy systems though an integrated agenda focused on the policy, technology and financial shifts that shape sustainable economic development. We help countries build net-zero, people-centered societies driven by a just, sustainable energy transition. Our core principle is to promote an integrated agenda that supports energy for development, including by mobilizing partners to enable 500 million additional people to have access to sustainable, reliable, affordable energy by 2025, leaving no-one behind. The global transformation of energy systems has already started, but is being altered by the current geopolitical context. However, this transformation must be accelerated, and it must be done in a way that advances the Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Energy Hub is UNDPโs answer to these challenges. To drive the systems-level change needed, the Sustainable Energy Hub aims to bring about a completely new way of thinking, doing business, connecting people and knowledge. UNDPโs 2022-2025 Strategic Plan has put sustainable energy at the heart of a joint corporate mission, and UN-Energy has pledged to reaching key energy milestones by 2025. UNDP will focus efforts on mobilizing partners and catalzing action to provide access to sustainable, affordable, and reliable energy โ both electricity and clean cooking โ to 500 million people by 2025, focusing on the worldโs poorest communities. UNDP will not do this alone โ our role here is to mobilize strong, meaningful, impactful partnerships to deliver action on the ground. We aim to bring about a new way of thinking about energy and advocate for an integrated, inclusive approach, where all stakeholders participate meaningfully in its design.
ContextThe Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP) is a new initiative of the Sustainable Energy Hub designed to translate data, expertise, and energy knowledge into actionable intelligence for countries. It strengthens decision-making and capacity building by connecting energy planning with key development nexus areas, including climate, water management, food systems, finance, health, employment, social protection, security, and gender equality. Designed for UNDP staff, policymakers, government officials, and national stakeholders, the platform offers tailored learning pathways, analytical tools, and opportunities for peer exchange aligned with country priorities. Through this integrated approach, the DIP supports more informed, coordinated, and impactful energy-for-development action on the ground.
Task DescriptionThe volunteer will support the design of the mobile version of the Digital Intelligence Platform, ensuring that key features, content, and user journeys remain clear, intuitive, and effective on smaller screens. The mobile experience should enable users to quickly access insights, learning content, and interactive elements, while supporting different usage contexts such as on-the-go access, fieldwork, and informal learning.
