Department: REACH
Position: Data Officer
Contract duration: 6 months (renewable)
Location: Kampala, Uganda, with frequent travel to Ethiopia
Starting Date: ASAP
Since 2018, Ethiopia has witnessed an escalation in unrest including large-scale displacement, killings, and destruction of property following domestical political changes. Such unrest has exacerbated the impact of climate-related crises, including the most devastating desert locust infestation in 25 years, which has damaged crops and fostered food insecurity. In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic infiltrated Ethiopia leading to lockdowns and transport bans in many regions that restricted access to markets. Then in November 2020, conflict erupted in the northern Tigray region, displacing many Ethiopians, and contributing to an approximate 1.1 million additional people needing assistance in Amhara, Afar and Tigray regions. All of these events have severely disrupted livelihoods, affected the availability of staple market commodities, and threatened to sharply escalate humanitarian need for vulnerable populations across the country.
The Data Officer is responsible for the production of IMPACT’s analysis products on Ethiopia, including the preparation of research design, support in designing sampling methods, data analysis plans, data collection tools, data cleaning scripts and processes, analysis scripts, analysis outputs and (as relevant) production of web maps and information management systems. The Data Officer, in close liaison with the assessment teams, engages with partners to promote their participation in data processing, analysis or relevant topics, to maximize the uptake and use of IMPACT/REACH research. When relevant, or managing a project, they also ensure an efficient and transparent use of resources required for project implementation.
This can include the direct supervision of data and assessment teams during data collection, analysis or output production.
The Data Officer is responsible for the following:
RESEARCH CYCLE MANAGEMENT
DATA MANAGEMENT
TEAM MANAGEMENT AND CAPACITY BUILDING
If the Data Officer provides direct line management to staff:
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
EXTERNAL ENGAGEMENT
INTERNAL COORDINATION
The Data Officer will maintain the strictest confidentiality on all data collected and related processes, ensuring full compliance with IMPACT’s data protection policy and SOPs. They will actively take measures to prevent the unauthorized sharing of any information and data belonging to IMPACT and its partners or collected during their assignment with IMPACT.
The position is based in Kampala, with frequent travel to Ethiopia. The level (DO or SDO) will depend on the candidates experience and qualifications.
