Brief outline of Project:
GSMA’s Mobile for Development is seeking a supplier to undertake a baseline assessment for the upcoming AI and emergent technology Innovation Fund round and programming. This baseline study should draw on GSMA’s learnings to date to identify key areas for both social and commercial impact, establish metrics to measure this progress, and outline potential risk factors. Additionally, the study will highlight the necessary support structures, resourcing, and due diligence processes required to ensure the success of innovation funding initiatives.
The assessment should:
- Assess GSMA’s existing applications of AI through Innovation Fund grantees and broader insights work to understand the challenges in applying different forms of AI, the due diligence for Innovation Fund rounds required, and the opportunities that funding different forms of AI can create for commercial scale and social impact
- Identify the social impact areas where GSMA can add value through the support and funding of different applications of AI through Innovation Funding (e.g. climate resilience and inclusivity and accessibility of digital technology and mobile internet)
- Understand the potential for impact from and challenges to creating meaningful public and private partnerships (PPP), and bringing these partnerships to sustainability
- Develop benchmarks and metrics for social and commercial impact for GSMA’s upcoming AI Innovation Fund rounds
The baseline is due to begin in November 2024, and finish by March 2025. Please submit a light touch proposal with delivery timelines and a quote to Ruth Orbach (rorbach@gsma.com) and Daisy Macaskie (dmacaskie@gsma.com) by 17.30 on Wednesday, 23rd October, 2024.
