RAM Assistant

WFP ARM organization mission TBD

WFP Armenia has strong evidence-based approach for the design, targeting, implementation, monitoring and accountability of its programme and activities. WFP is on the way of strengthening and integrating innovative and digital solutions for more robust data collection and analysis alongside the full implementation of its Country Strategic Plan (CSP) for 2026-2030. WFP Armenia implements a range of projects across the food value chain, including livelihood support, irrigation systems, climate-smart agriculture, school feeding programs, and logistics hub development. Targeting, monitoring and assessing these projects require accurate and up-to-date spatial data to support planning, reporting, and decision-making. The UN Volunteer will strengthen the unit’s capacity to manage GIS databases, operate drones for field data collection, and support the visualization of monitoring and assessment results.

Under the supervision of the Head of Research, Assessment and Monitoring (RAM) Unit, the UN Volunteer will undertake the following tasks:
• Support the collection, processing, and management of geospatial data for WFP Armenia projects.
• Operate drones to capture high-resolution images of project sites, including irriga-tion systems, agricultural fields, and infrastructure.
• Assist in the development and maintenance of GIS databases, ensuring data quali-ty and accuracy.
• Support to produce maps, spatial analyses, and visualizations to support targeting, monitoring, reporting, and decision-making.
• Assist in training staff and partners on the use of GIS and drone technologies for project monitoring.
• Support the development of standard operating procedures for drone operations and geospatial data management.
