Roster - Digital Inclusion Consultant

The Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is establishing a global roster of experts focused on digital inclusion. Operating through the Digital Knowledge Society Department (DKS), this roster aims to address global digital divides by deploying qualified consultants across thematic areas such as ICT accessibility, youth empowerment, gender equity, and digital inclusion for marginalized populations including indigenous, rural, and older communities. Consultants selected for the roster will contribute to a broad range of international development initiatives. Responsibilities include conducting policy research, developing strategic knowledge products, supporting results-based project monitoring, designing capacity-development toolkits, and delivering interactive workshops. Candidates will collaborate closely with the Head of the Digital Inclusion Service and regional focal points to advance inclusive digital ecosystems. This position functions as a flexible, remote consulting engagement tailored to ongoing UN project requirements. Joining the ITU roster provides digital policy researchers and accessibility specialists with a unique opportunity to directly shape global UN policy frameworks, drive sustainable telecommunication strategies, and advocate for equitable tech access worldwide.
