The core objective of this assignment is to co-create or lead on data projects, support capacity building where applicable
and developing data & analytics products, primarily using cutting-edge data and data science models to support horizontal
initiatives across UNICEF’s core programmes on health, education, WASH and country climate initiatives and in particular
the Automated SitRep, a tool that supports the Office of Emergency Programmes with data to support regional and country
based emergencies and the Air Quality Model creation for Malaysia.
We are looking for an exceptionally qualified candidate with extensive experience in senior stakeholder engagement,
facilitation, and project management, combined with strong expertise in data science The ideal candidate should have a
solid understanding of data visualization techniques and best practices, particularly within the EAP region as well as previous
experience working with UNICEF and also on climate data projects. They should bring robust data science skills, along with
deep knowledge of agile methodologies, user-centered design and data management best practices. Knowledge of satellite
imagery and geospatial data engineering is a plus.
They should also be comfortable working in a dynamic, collaborative team environment and be passionate about
contributing to the enhancement of UNICEF's mission by designing frontier data products.
This Long-Term Agreement for Services (LTAS) will provide UNICEF with a pool of individual consultants who can support SBC in Emergency initiatives, across the different levels of the organization and across continents. The agreement will enable teams to request training, workshops, data and feedback generation and analysis, tailored strategies and guidance. It also creates a mechanism to maintain shared learning through communities of practice, case studies, knowledge products, and routine communication channels.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is responding to its 17th Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak, confirmed in May 2026 and affecting Ituri, North Kivu, and South Kivu provinces. The situation remains complex and evolving, with transmission occurring in both community and health-care settings. Response efforts are led by national authorities in a context shaped by health system limitations, logistical constraints, insecurity, displacement, and diverse community perceptions influencing health-seeking behaviors.
UNICEF supports the Government through a multi-sectoral approach, focusing on community engagement, surveillance, infection prevention, and the continuity of essential services for vulnerable populations.
This context requires strong coordination, adaptability, and cultural sensitivity to support effective and equitable response efforts, particularly for children and at-risk communities.
