Brief outline of Project:
GSMA’s Mobile for Development (M4D) is seeking a supplier to undertake a baseline assessment for upcoming work on fostering an enabling environment for innovative, inclusive and sustainable digital technologies that can improve digital inclusion and climate action with public and private sector partners. This baseline study aims to map the ecosystem in priority regions, identifying key stakeholders and understanding their motivations for engaging in social impact initiatives. It will also evaluate M4D’s approach to supporting this enabling environment, assess its effectiveness, and develop benchmarks for measuring impact.
By consolidating existing evidence and positioning its work within broader literature, M4D seeks to highlight its potential impact and guide its strategic initiatives, enhancing its ability to deliver distinctive value in this collaborative ecosystem.
The assessment should support M4D to:
- Map the ecosystem in priority regions to identify M4D’s key stakeholders and partners, and articulate the state of M4D’s work with public sector partners in creating an enabling environment for inclusive and sustainable digital technologies
- Understand the mobile network operator and public sector ecosystem, the motivation of public and private sector partners to engage in social impact initiatives, highlight potential for data sharing between partners, and the regulatory environment for supporting inclusive, sustainable and innovative digital solutions
- Understand the scope and value add of M4D’s approach to supporting an enabling environment for inclusive, sustainable digital technologies in priority markets, and assess the effectiveness of M4D’s approach to developing an enabling environment for inclusive and sustainable technologies
- Develop benchmarks and metrics for impact for the new phase of funding’s partnership and engagement work in creating an enabling environment for inclusive and sustainable digital technologies
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), James Karanja (jkaranja@gsma.com), and Daisy Macaskie (dmacaskie@gsma.com) by 17.30 on Wednesday, 23rd October, 2024.
