Background: The cluster approach ensures clear leadership, predictability and accountability in international responses to humanitarian emergencies by clarifying the division of labour among organizations and better defining their roles and responsibilities within the different clusters of the response. It aims to make the international humanitarian community better organised and more accountable and professional, so that it can be a better partner for the affected people, host governments, local authorities, local civil society and resourcing partners. The Ukraine Education Cluster is co-led by UNICEF and Save the Children and was activated in December of 2014. Before the recent escalation, the cluster supported coordination of the Education-in-Emergencies (EiE) response led by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MoES) and local education authorities in Government Controlled Areas. With the recent escalation of the conflict and deteriorating humanitarian situation, the Ukraine Education Cluster requires additional support in the area of information management to ensure that coordination functions are delivered effectively and efficiently. Purpose of assignment: The Information Management Specialist is a core Cluster Coordination team member. The purpose of this post is to manage the collection, analysis and sharing of information that is important for the Cluster participants to make informed, evidence based, and strategic decisions. |
