Output 1: Ideation of Blockchain Potential in Nepal
and in UNOPS—Develop a list of potential
applications of blockchain technology both within Nepal and within UNOPS in
general. For each idea created, it will also be important to identify key
elements that relate to its potential as a project or initiative within UNOPS,
including:
1) The kinds of technology that would be required;
2) Potential partner and collaborating organizations working in blockchain;
3) The government, intergovernmental, NGO, and private sector organizations
that would be engaged;
4) Potential challenges or roadblocks, including legal and regulatory
restraints; and
5) Cost and time implications.
Output 2: Further Development of Most Viable and
Promising Concepts—From the broader list
of potential applications of blockchain technology, the contractor will help
identify a small number (3-5) of promising concepts that deserve further
research. The contractor will support UNOPS to further research the potential
of each idea, including identifying possible partners, key hurdles or
roadblocks, and further developing the potential resource (time and money)
needs. Based on this development, the
contractor will support UNOPS to develop short concept notes which can serve as
the basis for discussions with potential funders and partners.
Output 3: Develop Project Proposal Around Blockchain—As potential project ideas and funding opportunities are identified,
the contractor will support UNOPS to develop project proposals for submission
to potential funding organizations.
