BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT: WFP is currently providing food assistance to over 900,000 refugees in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The unique political context of the Cox’s Bazar response has resulted in multiple identity registries, which has created significant challenges related to data management, consistency, and triangulation.
As the response has stabilized and transitioned away from emergency programming, the demand for digital solutions that allow for more effective, more efficient, and more accurate programme design, delivery, and tracking has significantly increased. To meet this demand, WFP Cox’s Bazar is striving towards a clear data governance framework, responsible data management, and a coherent digital strategy to streamline digital services for WFP’s internal programmes (e.g., food assistance, self-reliance, disaster risk resilience, etc.). The Operational Data Analyst will be responsible for providing technical expertise in establishing a data governance framework, data management principles, and a sustainable data management system that allows for large-scale pooling of structured data and analytical operations. In addition, the Operational Data Analyst should increase data literacy across the operation and strength the capacity of our national staff. Finally, the Operational Data Analyst should be able to maintain and enhance the multiple dashboards and analysis already created, and to develop new products as per the necessities of the management and other relevant units.
