Information Management Officer At iMMAP

Organization

iMMAP is an international nongovernmental organisation that provides information management services to humanitarian and development organizations. Through information management, we help our partners target assistance to the world’s most vulnerable populations. Our core philosophy is that better data leads to better decisions and that better decisions lead to better outcomes. iMMAP’s critical support to information value chains helps to solve operational and strategic challenges of our partners in both emergency and development contexts by enabling evidence-based decision-making for better outcomes.

Background

• The project provides support to the humanitarian community by better coordinating current information efforts, developing new granular information on conditions in potential areas of return, monitoring developments in host countries, producing thematic reports on key drivers and barriers to return, and disseminating information
• Covid Coordination: Dedicated coordination capacity will be fundamental to efforts to sustain the ongoing void response, advocate for essential services, coordinate vaccine rollout, and liaise with local authorities. Thus, the NES EmergencyCoordinator for COVID-19 is responsible for leading the COVID-19 Task Force, which oversees the implementation of the preparedness and Response Plan and associated workstream developed.
• Mine Action coordination: Provide and maintain a comprehensive picture of explosive hazard contamination and progress of the intervention measures to all stakeholders. It will include the provision of an information-sharing platform, strengthening the partnership between MASWG with other working groups, and contributing in advocacy to ensure that Mine Action’s voice is alive in NES.
