UNFPA is undergoing a major transformation of its information systems to support the implementation of its Strategic Plan 2018-2021. The ICT Transformation Project (ICTX)
comprises 16 initiatives ranging from ICT infrastructure to the revamping of productivity tools and business solutions. UNFPA conducted a limited CRM pilot test using the Salesforce.com (SFDC) platform in 2018. The pilot was limited to 20 users within our Resource Mobilization and Strategic Partnerships branches, the latter of which also includes individual fundraising. The pilot confirmed the fit and need of Salesforce.com to support UNFPA operations, and a programme has been defined for implementation across the areas of institutional and individual fundraising, donor agreement management and tracking, global account/contact governance and management, partnership development, and other areas.
