CALL FOR EQUIP FACILITATORS
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH are currently looking for experts in the area of evidence-based industrial policy making.
The “Enhancing the Quality of Industrial Policies (EQuIP)” toolkit supports policymakers in developing countries to formulate and design evidence-based strategies for inclusive and sustainable industrial development and thereby strengthens the ability of, especially lower income countries, to manage their own future and to have a larger say in strategy-setting, policy formulation and their engagement with development partners.
Since its inception, the EQuIP toolkit has been deployed in numerous countries globally. It is an integral part of most of UNIDO’s industrial policy related projects and activities.
Therefore, UNIDO is organizing a programme to assess and accredit a group of individuals able to provide industrial policy advice, facilitate policy dialogue among different stakeholders and build the capacities of decision-makers and technocrats in developing countries, world-wide, using the EQuIP approach and methodology.
All tools are freely available on the EQuIP website: http://www.equip-project.org/.
Members of the public are invited to apply by filling the form on the following website by the 15th June 2021:
https://www.unido.org/form/EQuIP_registration
The accreditation addresses analysts and professionals from developed and developing countries globally. Potential candidates should have the following set of qualifications:
• Have at least five years of practical experience working on industrial policy formulation/reform, policy planning, industrial policy M&E, economic development policies, and/or similar;
• Proven academic expertise in development economics (including a degree in economics or similar) would constitute a distinct asset;
• Previous exposure to EQuIP (e.g. as EQuIP Analytical (co-)Trainers) or its predecessor, the Competitive Industrial Performance (CIP) index would constitute an asset (including participation in the 2018 EQuIP training of trainers event).
