International Development Jobs (NOW HIRING)

International Development Organization (IDO) Team Charter Purpose The purpose of the International Development Organization (IDO) Reference Model Team is to develop a new industry reference model for business architecture to address the needs of organizations that are mission-based and member-funded. An IDO delivers international development services which may include funding. The IDO Reference Model will provide an international development organization or International Development Organization with a cohesive starting point for understanding the information and actions needed to aid International Development Organizational collaboration. Scope 1. Scope is initially focused on developing business architecture knowledge base content for international development services using content from the Guild’s existing Government Reference Model, and a pre-publication draft of the Guild’s Member-Based Organization Reference Model. 2. Later iterations of development may bring in additional organizations and institutions, such as the United Nations1 system of regional or country level entities and other development institutions not covered due to lack of representation and mandate in this space, at the time of establishing this charter. 3. Create mappings of capabilities, value streams, information, and stakeholder blueprints sufficient to provide a baseline or starting point for organizational business architecture efforts. 4. Identify approaches organizations can take when adopting the model, including likely variations or customizations. 5. A definition is provided only to determine the scope of this Reference Model. International Development Organizations (IDOs) plan and implement initiatives with the principal purpose of international development across various markets, sectors towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). IDOs are mission-driven and may include members, beneficiaries, partners, and other entities.
