LocationsUNDP North Macedonia Accelerator Lab
The team is working on system transformation for the public sector both on the national and local levels, exploring possibilities for public sector innovation and using unconventional methods.
The UNDP North Macedonia Accelerator Lab is working on redesigning the way we create, implement and monitor our national and local public policy documents. Moreover, we are working on embedding innovation within the public sector by creating and upgrading new institutions within the public sector, building capabilities among civil sector employees, and introducing new innovative ways of working. We have been working on redesigning public policymaking through a National Development Strategy, as well as through the City Experiment Fund, and we address local challenges, in particular by developing circularity around bio-waste, promoting a local ecosystem, boosting human capital and by positively impacting the environment while increasing livelihood.
The core learning questions for us as a team are:
- Can we redesign the way we develop, implement and monitor national and local strategic planning documents?
- Can we incorporate and promote new models of development in our public discourse?
We are using the following tools for our work: co-design, foresight, portfolio of options, design thinking, horizon scanning and visual thinking and mapping.
