AI Assisted Capacity Assessment of Implementing Partners
Global Not Applicable
UNOPS manages grant-supported programmes and projects through partnerships with Implementing Partners (IPs). Between 2019 and 2024, it worked with more than eleven thousand IPs, ranging from government entities and UN agencies to NGOs, private sector organizations, and individuals. Capacity assessments are central to deciding whether to award funding and to understanding each IP’s risk profile, including its ability to manage funds and deliver project results.
Traditionally, Grants Officials compared IP self-assessments with supporting documents across ten capacity areas, a process that often took days. UNOPS now uses its in-house AI-powered tool, the AI Playbook, to automate this review with high accuracy and near human-like judgment, freeing Grants Officials to focus on helping IPs close capacity gaps rather than on manual assessment work.
NBSAP Knowledge Navigator
Global Not ApplicableThe NBSAP Knowledge Navigator is a custom GPT built for the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership to provide members, country focal points, facilitators, and partner organisations with on-demand, multilingual access to selected reference material on biodiversity governance, climate action, and sustainable development. The current knowledge base draws on knowledge products generated by the GIZ global project, Strengthening National Implementation of Global Biodiversity Targets, under the umbrella of the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership. It synthesises guidance on NBSAP and NDC synergies, gender equality in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Indigenous Peoples' rights and perspectives, youth participation in biodiversity governance, and whole-of-society approaches, drawing on country experiences from Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Madagascar, Namibia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lao PDR and Indonesia. The GPT lowers the barrier to knowledge by allowing natural-language queries against curated reference material rather than requiring users to navigate multiple documents and portals.
