The Accelerator Labs are UNDP’s new way of working in development. The labs transform our collective approach by introducing new services, backed by evidence and practice, and by accelerating the testing and dissemination of solutions within and across countries. Sense-making, collective intelligence, solutions mapping and experimentation will be part of the new offer from UNDP to governments.

Together with national and global partners, 60 labs serving 78 countries will work together to find radically new approaches that fit the complexity of current development challenges. The labs analyse challenges within local contexts to identify connections and patterns in search of new avenues of work to act effectively in addressing wicked development challenges.
