Since 2014, UNICEF has invested significantly in Digital Public Goods (DPGs) that support programme delivery at scale across sectors and countries. These platforms are important institutional assets for delivering reusable, adaptable, cost-effective solutions and scalable digital impact for children.
As UNICEF strengthens digital transformation as an accelerator for results, there is an opportunity to build on the experience of existing DPG teams and make UNICEF’s collective DPG expertise more visible and accessible across the organization and beyond. This includes strengthening collaboration across DPG teams, documenting good practices, identifying opportunities for efficiency, and developing service offerings for country offices and partners.
Since 2025, DID DCOE has convened the DPGs at Scale initiative through business model financial analysis, bilateral consultations, and working group discussions. This has created a strong foundation for advancing structured collaboration, shared learning, and portfolio-level thinking on how UNICEF can sustain and scale DPGs effectively.
The purpose of this consultancy is to facilitate and coordinate the DPGs at Scale community and help translate the work to date into practical, decision-ready outputs. The consultant will support the development of an operating model for DPGs at Scale, a productized DPG service offering, cost-efficiency options, knowledge products, and structured inputs for senior management consideration.
