How can you make a difference?

The Information Management Officer (WASH Cluster) will be a key member of the national WASH cluster coordination team and play a vital role in collecting, analyzing, and sharing information that is important for the cluster stakeholders to make informed (evidence based) strategic decisions on:

  • The needs of affected populations
  • The prioritisation of these areas according to wash indicators
  • Where there is a need for wash actors and to what degree
  • What are the key gaps in activity and need
  • What capacity (human, material, financial) exists to be used in support of the identified prioritised response needs, and what are the funding priorities

The position therefore supports the WASH Cluster Coordinator by supporting the cluster with the data and information it requires to make programmatic decisions. 

As such, the Information Management Officer needs to be able to liaise and communicate with many different types of people and agencies and act as a ‘bridge’ between WASH decision makers and technical IM staff (OCHA, SWALIM etc.)  Fundamental to the job is the ability to present information in a way that is easily understood by the cluster members.  Sometimes this is through graphic means such a mapping but also through tables, charts, and narrative writing.  Other times it involves discussing the information directly with the decision makers to make interpretations of the findings.

Summary of key responsibilities:

  • Provide IM services to cluster for key decision making.  These services will include data collection, collation, mapping, analysis, and dissemination relevant to the needs of the cluster.  This may require building additional and appropriate capacity through the training of additional staff and managing, organising and conducting these activities.
  • Data Gathering, Tools and Process
  • Needs Assessment
  • Monitoring
  • Dissemination and Access to Information for WASH Stakeholders
  • Mapping
  • Information Management Intra and Inter-Cluster Liaison
  • Information Management Standards and Policy
  • Ensuring sufficient IM capacity for continuity

To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have…

  • A University degree level in a relevant field or discipline such as Information Management or Information Systems, Civil Engineering, Geology, Hydrology, Sanitation Engineering, or a field relevant to international WASH related development assistance (Social Sciences).
  • A minimum of [2 years] of relevant professional experience in International Organizations including UN agencies with an emphasis on humanitarian emergency interventions with a strong background in information management.
  • Experience in water sanitation and hygiene, Cross cluster experience in Health, Nutrition and/or Education preferred. 
  • Knowledge of Excel and preferably MS Access or other databases and Google Earth.
  • Knowledge of multi-variable mapping techniques
  • Knowledge and experience of ARCGIS or other mapping software

  • Developing country work experience and/or familiarity with emergency is considered an asset.
