The original requirement

In March 2020, EVA announced that it had won a competitive procurement to build an applicant tracking and deployment service for the UNDP Crisis Bureau.

The announced programme aimed to bring consultant sourcing, expertise review and deployment requests into a common platform. Consultants would maintain profiles and availability; UNDP technical experts would vet expertise; offices would request support and search for relevant candidates.

The scope also included communication workflows and reporting to help teams coordinate deployments and understand where expertise was available. These were the programme's announced aims in 2020, rather than measured results at that date.

This refreshed article preserves the original announcement date. The update below describes a later deployment and should be read separately from the original procurement scope.
