Innovation means different thing to different agencies. UNICEF globally is at the centre of defining Innovation and its principles for humanitarian and development agencies with USAID, Gates Foundation, EOSG Global Pulse, WFP, OCHA, UNDP, SIDA, IKEA Foundation, UN Foundation, and UNHCR.
For UNICEF “Innovation at UNICEF is collaboration that translates ideas, technologies, and partnerships into products, services, and processes to bring about better, more equitable results for children. UNICEF creates and guides approaches that are transformative, at scale, for the world’s most vulnerable children.”
The slides shares a quick overview of the direction Kenya Country Office is taking whilst delivering results for children.

What are the totals by section…
Thematic Grouping by
uReport
Start with IM/KM – message: Information Management is the foundation for all the “results group or task forces” [Q 1. Should we push for one central system for all data that KCO deals with?] –
Knowledge Management : Best Practices
Capitalize on good practices: MORES / Education L3 monitoring and the use of IM KM (as discussed in 1) / CDI and County profiles. Do we have the platform for it
SIRK: message: revamp the ToR and make it more practical and simplistic to address immediate action points like IMEP, research plans
Innovation Team for KCO for collaboration – modelling and most importangly being rady to test – fail quickly and learn from it… [Function to link up all the programme activities and programmatic needs with existing technological and non-technological (process related) innovations] Key message: Room for exploration, agility and collaboration and most importantly thinking outside the box. [5 mins]
Linking to the Results group – Each group MUST have “KM/Innovation Focal point”
SIRK revision –
10 mins and end with ONE (and only one – as you and I both know even that one action would need a lottt of follow ups) key action points for IM/KM, MORES, Innovation and SIRK.
most importantly accountability/ownership [5mins]
