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 UNDP’s global work on private sector and foundations and supports UNDP’s 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.

ContextThe SDG AI Lab, hosted at UNDP Istanbul International Centre for Private Sector in Development (ICPSD), leverages frontier technologies, data science, and AI to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Currently, this process requires significant manual follow-up. By introducing automation, the Lab aims to make tracking more transparent, reliable, and time-efficient.
