Job: Research Consultant - Growing Inclusive Markets

Abigail Keene-Babcock — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 08:31:19 -0500

Position: Research Associate, Growing Inclusive Markets (UNDP)

Location: New York

Duration: Two-month consultancy, early April through the end of May 2008.

Organization: "Growing Inclusive Markets" is a new multi-stakeholder initiative, led by the United Nations Development Programme, which strives to identify and examine the vast unmet potential at the base of the world economic pyramid. Growing Inclusive Markets seeks to gather information, disseminate knowledge and inspire action. It uses the UN’s convening power and presence around the world to move the agenda of the poor and concomitant business opportunities into a new space. Our network of partners—from Southern business leaders and policy makers, to local entrepreneurs, multinational corporations, academic communities and development organizations—will champion the messages and opportunities for action on the ground.

Position Description: A key work stream of the Initiative is the creation of an initial corpus of data and information that will underpin further analysis for the GIM Report and will be included in a web-based storehouse of data. Under the over-all supervision of the Programme Manager of the Growing Inclusive Markets Initiative, the Research Associate will be working with key experts and members of the Initiative Team in the gathering, production and online presentation of data and information for the Growing Inclusive Markets Initiative; UNDP’s most visible strategic and sustained global advocacy tool for the important role of the private sector in achieving the MDGs. The Initiative will launch two specific knowledge outputs/products in 2008: a Case Studies Bank, and an Innovations Bank.
