Closing date: 28 Sep 2013

Conn@ct.Now

The support of children and young people in conflict affected areas is challenging. These areas are often not easily accessible and it is hard to find clear-cut solutions to reach the children who are in need for psychosocial support, protection and education. New actors and new innovative initiatives are therefore needed more than ever. In 2011 War Child Holland, Child Helpline International, Free Press Unlimited, T-Mobile, and TNO joined forces in the alliance Conn@ct.Now. The commitment: unite complementary expertise and experience in the areas of technology, knowledge, research, and commerce to reach, support and activate children and young people living in conflict affected areas. Together with local partners, Conn@ct.Now uses creative and innovative methods for activities related to child protection, education, psychosocial support, and child participation. The programme is implemented in five countries: Burundi, Colombia, Sudan, South Sudan, and (northern) Uganda.Conn@ct.Now harnesses the potential of ICT and media to increase impact. Surprisingly, there are often fairly well developed Internet and phone networks available in conflict affected areas. This creates the potential to involve children and young people through radio, phone, SMS, or the Internet. Example projects include an eLearning project for children in remote areas in Sudan, a participatory media project in South Sudan which encourages children to communicate their issues and concerns to parents and caregivers in a safe environment and the development of a mobile monitoring application for staff in Uganda.

Innovation Management

In order to develop and implement ICT innovations for children and young people in conflict affected areas successfully, there is a need to understand the specific challenges that can be encountered in developing and implementing those innovations. Despite the dynamic state of ICT for Development in Africa, many of the initiatives in developing regions struggle to get out of the pilot phase. Currently several projects are running under the Conn@ct.Now programme related to innovation in ICT and media. There is a need to understand how these projects have overcome challenges they have faced on their way in managing their innovation process, so that other practitioners may learn from the programme’s successes and challenges. The theoretical and linear model that was proposed at programme inception needs reiteration. This is a challenging and rewarding assignment for a student who has the ambition to start a career in the development sector or social innovation.

Job description

We are looking for a student that can support us in creating a well-founded innovation framework for developing and implementing ICT and media innovations in our target areas. We propose to at least include the following activities in the project:
- Collect, structure and analyze State of the Art literature on topics related to innovation management in developing (and specifically conflict affected) regions
- Collect empirical data from experts and practitioners involved in the Conn@ct.Now programme on the projects that have been included in the program
- Based on the findings develop a revised innovation framework document including graphic representation of the innovation framework and strategies for implementation into organisations involved in the programme.
You will be supervised by TNO and based at TNO in Delft (the Netherlands), with frequent visits to War Child Holland in Amsterdam. The assignment has a minimum length of 12 weeks (3 months), but possibly extended to 5 months, starting a.s.a.p.. You will receive the standard internship fee of TNO.
