ABOUT WFP
The United Nations World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes.

JOB PURPOSE
The Regional Monitoring team is providing technical support and oversight to 17 countries during their implementation of the Country Strategic Plans (CSP). 17 countries are Egypt, Armenia, Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, State of Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkey, and Yemen.
The team guides and ensures that the CSP Monitoring, Review and Evaluation plans will provide the most relevant and strategic information toward achieving expected results while being compliant with WFP corporate monitoring and evaluation requirements. To ensure effective programming, it is essential that monitoring and evaluation (M&E) ensures risks are mitigated and decision-makers can adjust programmes based on findings and data coming in through M&E systems. However, the systems used for data collection, reporting and visualization of findings are not yet standardized or consistent across the organization.
WFP seeks to build its capacity to centrally receive, store, process and analyze digital operational data for the purpose of promoting accountability, controls, and efficiencies across its programmes and use data to better inform WFP’s programme design and performance measurement through the analysis of data collected from its regional operations.
Particularly for this position, the Data Management Specilaist will focus on management and visualization of regional monitoring data by developing and standardizing consolidated databases and insightful and innovative dashboards to best leverage M&E data both within Country Offices and across the region. The position includes also knowledge management and capacity building of M&E staff on data visualization.

- Develop centralized data management systems (databases) to consolidate and manage regional monitoring data and enable automatized reporting of findings.
- Perform data cleaning, organization and analysis and set up regular reporting templates (dashboards) in line with specified business requirements for M&E at regional and countrylevel using visualization software (e.g. Tableau, ArcGIS, Power BI, Qlikview, etc.).
- Develop technical solutions for Country Offices and the Regional Bureau to enable efficient data consolidation, management, and interactive reporting on web-based platforms.
- Engage with HQ, particularly Programme Monitoring, the Tableau Platform Manager and Data Programme, to develop strategies for standardizing data points and analytical approaches.
- Support overall systems coherence and functionality for WFP’s relevant M&E corporate and non-corporate systems and processes.
- Ensure standard operating procedures are in place to ensure the quality and integrity of quantitative & qualitative data as well as processes for storage, management, and visualization of regional monitoring data.
- Work closely with relevant units to identify and report issues and use data to propose solutions for follow-up and effective decision making.
- Support and coordinate technology, platform, data dictionary and visual analytics standards for M&E activities across the RBC region.
- Provide training in COs or in RBC on data processing and/or visualization, as needed.
- Support the implementation of guidelines and tools to facilitate the implementation of data processing, management and visualization guidelines both at RB and field level.
- Any other duties as required.
