Volunteers at UNICEF| Data Analysis and Visualization Support Vacancies At United Nations Volunteers (UNV) Apply Online
UNICEF is seeking a dynamic and strongly motivated multi-skilled candidate with a positive attitude to challenges to contribute to strengthening child rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina through evidence-generation and visual representation which will further support UNICEF programming and advocacy. The selected online volunteer will support Education and Skills development team of the UNICEF Bosnia and Herzegovina Country Office (BiH CO).
The online volunteer will play a pivotal role in synthetizing collected data and deriving key evidence and implications for UNICEF programming in the area of i) digital transformation in education and ii) child protection. Through this assignment, the online volunteer will support two COs – of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
UNICEF in Serbia has also portrayed its schools on the global Giga map, albeit without connectivity status. Nevertheless, other variables also plat a significant role in evidence creation and advocacy. One such variable is road safety – for which the data on coordinates of road accidents is regularly collected by the Serbian authorities. UNICEF in Serbia is aiming to overlay these two sets of data and identify school areas of risk, and therefore inform its child protection programming and advocacy efforts. Under the supervision and guidance of the UNICEF in BIH Education Officer, the online volunteer will assist in synthesis of the available data, data analysis and data visualisation, in particular through interactive, country level maps.
Expected start date of the assignment is 28/08/2024.
