The purpose of this consultancy is to provide technical analytical support to the Urban Poverty study in the United Republic of Tanzania and produce a working paper for publication and a policy brief for advocacy.
Background
UNICEF Office of Strategy and Evidence – Innocenti (UNICEF Innocenti) and UNICEF Tanzania Country Office (TCO) are collaborating to generate high-quality, policy-relevant evidence on urban poverty and deprivation in Tanzania. The collaboration aims to produce a peer-reviewed working paper and a policy brief that will inform UNICEF advocacy, programme design, and resource mobilization in support of urban social protection, targeting, and inclusive urban development.
Rapid urbanization in Tanzania has intensified spatial inequalities, particularly within large urban centres where informal settlements and localized deprivation are often masked by aggregate statistics. While recent global studies have produced micro-estimates of wealth and poverty, these models lack the spatial granularity required to map intra-urban disparities relevant for city-level planning and intervention.
This research addresses that gap by developing an urban-focused, high-resolution poverty mapping approach, integrating geospatial data and machine-learning techniques. The analysis will focus on six Tier-1 cities—Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Arusha, Dodoma, Mbeya, and Zanzibar City—where the density of survey data enables robust model training and validation.
Within this context, UNICEF Innocenti seeks to recruit a Research Analyst (Consultant) to provide technical and analytical support to the study, contributing directly to the processing of geospatial data, predictive modelling, analysis, and drafting of the working paper and the policy brief
