Integrating Existing Multi-sector Program into UNICEF’s Innovation Lab Work

UNICEF Indonesia established its own innovation lab that aims to bring new ideas from multi-sector partners in the country. However, during the initial phase, it was challenging to identify partners that UNICEF had not worked with before, including universities and technology companies. There is also a challenge to bring together different approaches, such as integrating human-centered design into the daily work of UNICEF

Kopernik identified the key organisations and institutions needed for the project and leveraged both existing and new connections with universities and other innovative companies to support the work of the Innovation Lab. Kopernik assisted in integrating UNICEF’s innovation lab work and its mainstream program activities, leveraging the deep understanding of how aid agencies and innovative companies work.
