Description
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is offering an IICA full time position within the External

The UNHCR Data Transformation Strategy 2020-2025 envisions that by 2025 UNHCR
becomes a trusted leader on data and information related to refugees and other persons of
concern, thereby enabling actions to protect and to empower persons of concern. The Strategy
stipulates investing in four complementary priority areas: data management and governance;
information systems; capacities and skill development; and culture for evidence-informed
decision-making. The strategy envisages data and information management functions in
UNHCR carried out in a complementary and inter-linked manner between Headquarters
Divisions and Services, Regional Bureaux, Country Operations and key external partners,
including persons of concern.

management activities and liaison with Headquarters/Region/Country on data related issues.

delivering on data and information activities for all UNHCR operational contexts, responses
and populations of concern, including providing coordination and leadership in partnerships on
data with all stakeholders - including persons of concern. They serve the entirety of UNHCR
staff and activities, including protection, programme, operations, external relations and
executive management for evidence-informed planning, advocacy, and coordination. They are
