Community Volunteers’ Team Lead [SPI]

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is committed to helping Uzbekistan build a modern, prosperous, democratic society, based on responsive government systems, people prepared for future challenges and opportunities, and an inclusive green economy.

UNDP first became active in Uzbekistan in 1993, and has over subsequent decades implemented hundreds of projects alongside the national government, business, civil society and academic. We are proud to be both Uzbekistan’s primary development partner and a leading member of the UN Family.

Through the continued trust of the Government of Uzbekistan, close collaboration with our fellow UN agencies and the support of national and international donors, UNDP has helped build Uzbekistan’s market economy, modernize its government, and improve the lives of its most vulnerable citizens. In addition, UNDP has helped Uzbekistan tackle some of the most prominent ecological and environmental challenges it has faced over past years.
The directions of UNDP’s work in Uzbekistan reflect the current UN Country Programme Document (CPD) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for 2021-2025. They also align with the national Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the 2030 Agenda, and Uzbekistan’s Development Strategy for 2017-2021. Throughout 2020 UNDP helped address the national health and socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and is continuing to actively assist in Uzbekistan’s inclusive, green recovery.

The Tech Volunteers for Resilience (Tech4R) programme mobilizes skilled digital volunteers to co-create open-source solutions that strengthen disaster resilience. This assignment focuses on building digital tools and dashboards that support real-time decision-making in disaster contexts.
The effective management of domestic and stray animals is essential for public health, prevention of zoonotic diseases, and sustainable local governance.
Currently, records on animal registration and vaccination are fragmented, limiting data-driven management and early disease detection.

The Digital Animal Identification Platform will enable the registration of pets and shelter animals, tracking through microchip data, and integrated mapping of animal population and vaccination records.

The Team Lead will coordinate a volunteer team of developers, GIS specialists, and data managers to design, test, and deliver the platform, ensuring its accessibility, accuracy, and usability.

The Volunteer will provide support to the project team in:

-Coordinating developers, database specialists, and GIS volunteers to build the platform.
-Overseeing integration of registration, vaccination, and mapping modules.
-Ensuring data accuracy and compliance with national regulations on animal identification.
-Facilitating coordination between Tech4R, UNDP GEF SGP, and municipal partners.
-Supporting testing, user manual preparation, and final documentation.

This is an unpaid volunteer assignment.
