Renewal Engine
Arab States Lebanon

The Renewal Engine offers space for strategic, systems-based analysis, synthesis and reflection. It is a mechanism that generates development intelligence and supports better decision-making amidst uncertainty.

1. Analytical Framework: the underlying logic and conceptual structure for analyzing data and generating insights. A systems lens through which to analyze complex development challenges. The four “walls”: Proven, Patterns, Promising, and Possible.
2. Data Ecosystem: a comprehensive and dynamic information infrastructure that feeds the Renewal Engine's analytical capabilities.
3. AI Processing Engine: the computational infrastructure designed to analyze, interpret, and generate insights from the data available in the Data Ecosystem, guided by the Analytical Framework.
4. User Suite: how stakeholders engage with and utilize the engine, effectively translating the complex internal processes of the Renewal Engine into an accessible, actionable journey.

Risk Anticipation Data Hub
Global Not Applicable

The project aims to transform an existing UNDP Crisis Bureau internal data platform (Crisis Risk Dashboard) into a digital public good by providing a one-stop data warehouse combining a large set of public datasets to facilitate integrated multidimensional data analytics. A key feature of this project will be a Generative AI LLM front-end that will enable analysts to interact with the data warehouse using natural language queries. This innovative feature will empower analysts to extract insights without relying on traditional business intelligence tools, enhancing rapid risk analysis and reducing barriers to entry and costs.
