Population & Development – Geographical Information Systems [GIS] Specialist

Job Purpose:

Evidence-based policymaking decisions are consistent with transparent and accountable governance. Data is central to this. Since its independence in 1960, only two censuses have been carried out in Somalia; the first in 1974 and the second in 1986. However, only the results for the first census were ever released. Since then, efforts have been made to bridge this gap. Notably, the 2014 Population Estimation Survey (PESS) and the 2018/2019 Somali Health and Demographic Survey (SHDS) yielded invaluable data on population, demographic, health and other characteristics of the Somali population.

Recognizing the need for census data, the Government of Somalia is preparing to hold its first census in decades; the Somalia Population and Housing Census (SPHC) 2024/25. The SPHC is expected to provide relevant, reliable, and timely baseline data for development planning, policy formulation, and service delivery. It will count all persons living in Somalia and determine their socio-economic and demographic characteristics, including information on population dynamics such as migration, fertility, and mortality. The census will also generate a sampling frame for future household surveys.

Census mapping is the foundation of any census. Maps have been an instrumental part of censuses for a long time. Historically they have been used in the census during the enumeration phase and assist in guiding enumerators to dwellings and other places where people are likely to be during the enumeration period. They also ensure full and unduplicated coverage of geographic areas during the census. Maps have also been used to present aggregated census results in cartographic form. Technological developments in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have led to increased availability of spatial data and reduced costs of geospatial tools. This has broadened the scope of census cartography to include the use of high-resolution imagery for EA delineation and updating, spatial analysis, modeling, and data dissemination through web mapping platforms.

UNFPA is providing technical and financial support to the SPHC to ensure that the proposed census is of high quality, upholds international principles and standards, and produces data that are widely disseminated and utilized for development.

In addition to supporting the SPHC, UNFPA Somalia supports humanitarian responses and recovery efforts. It also works with health services to reduce maternal mortality, among the highest rates in the world, by strengthening community midwifery and the supply of commodities. Further efforts have focused on conducting nationwide population estimation surveys. Engaging with the government and civil society to provide services for vulnerable youth, UNFPA promotes reproductive rights and the elimination of harmful practices such as female genital mutilation/cutting.

You will provide geospatial support to the UNFPA Somalia Country Office as it implements its different activities.

You would be responsible for:

Leading and overseeing the technical aspects of geospatial information tools and resources, and development of new products to respond to organizational needs.
Developing and implementing geospatial databases, geospatial data collection systems, geospatial data analytics and other strategies that optimize statistical efficiency and quality.

Providing expert advice and information support, including writing guidelines, instructions, and on-site training of respective staff units of states responsible for the Census preparation and implementation;
