UNDP Data Sharing Consultancy 2026: Home-Based International Consultancy for Domestic Resource Mobilization

Overview

UNDP is seeking an international consultant to examine how data sharing can support domestic resource mobilization in five selected countries, one from each region. The assignment is home based and is managed through UNDP Headquarters in the United States under an Individual Contractor procurement process. It is expected to run from October 26, 2026, to February 18, 2027, with an estimated workload of 34 working days.

The work analyzes the institutions involved, the data sources they rely on and how data flows between them. It also looks at the governance, institutional, legal, technical and political-economy factors that shape how data is shared and used in practice. UNDP notes that fragmented information, institutional silos, legal uncertainty and limited trust between agencies can hinder both data sharing and resource mobilization.

Who can apply

The assignment suits professionals with a background in areas such as domestic resource mobilization, public finance, data governance, development policy, institutional analysis, digital development or public-sector information systems. This is a consultancy handled through procurement rather than a staff post.

How to apply

The procurement is managed through the UNDP Quantum supplier portal, and bidders must follow the portal instructions to access the negotiation and submit a bid. The reference number is UNDP-HQ-02329. Applicants who already have a supplier profile should use their existing account rather than create another one.

Key dates

The procurement was published on September 22, 2026. The deadline is October 6, 2026 at 11:00 AM New York time. The assignment is expected to start on October 26, 2026 and end on February 18, 2027.
