Description
–>
Emphasis on improving public services using technology and innovations was strengthened when the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) government had to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic along with other transition related concerns. Even prior the pandemic, the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG) already recognized the challenge of improving public service delivery in BARMM and to respond to substantial gaps in public service delivery at the local level, the MILG forged a partnership with UNDP for the Localizing e-Governance for Accelerated Provision of Services (LeAPS) Program.
Known as the flagship programme of the Digital Bangladesh agenda by the Government of Bangladesh, a2i was selected given similar starting challenges in Bangladesh and BARMM of connectivity and local governance in remote, rural locations; shared social and cultural context; and a2i’s recognized status as a leading global program that has dramatically improved citizens access to services and information and expanded unprecedented opportunities for community participation at the local level.
With the overall goal of “A highly trusted governance aimed at co-creating and brining meaningful citizen-centric services towards the digital transformation for an empowered Bangsamoro”, the LeAPS Program will harness the transformative power of data, digitalization, and people-centered governance to substantially improve the delivery of local public services, develop ICT capacity in civil servants and citizens and generate awareness, ease of use and, eventually, ownership of digital tools and processes, completing a journey towards the digital transformation in BARMM.
LeAPS piloted the MILG and the two (2) pilot LGUs (Butig and Piagapo), with the additional twenty (20) LGUs and ten (10) ministries in 2023. In this regard, the UNDP Philippines requires the services of a Junior Space Fit-out and Designer Analyst, who shall provide the overall technical expertise for the standard space fit-out and design of the Digital Centers with Interactive Call Centers in the identified LGUs under the BARMM. The Junior Space Fit-out and Designer Analyst will be under the day-to-day supervision of the LeAPS Program Manager and with oversight from the Institutions and Partnerships (I&P) Programme Team.
