Mission and objectives
UNDP has been providing development assistance to the people of Myanmar since the 1950s. UNDP operated under a restricted mandate from 1993 until 2012 implementing the Human Development Initiative programme which provided assistance directly to communities and individuals for improving their lives and livelihoods. In 2013, UNDP began working through two country programmes, and between 2018 and 2020 the focus shifted to direct support to the Myanmar Government. Following the military takeover in 2021, UNDP Myanmar pivoted to directly target the extremely vulnerable by meeting their basic needs and supporting community recovery, through the Community First Programme: 2021-2025. We have and extensive presence with 4 field offices covering 11 states and regions, with offices in Mon State – covering Mon and the southeastern regions including Bago – and Kachin and Shan states. UNDP also has a field office in Rakhine State and a sub-office in northern Rakhine. UNDP Myanmar works with an extensive network of local CSO, CBO, grassroots partners and community leaders established by UNDP under the Human Development Initiative which started in 1993. These networks remain operational, and UNDP has been able to quickly connect and deliver support through them despite rapid changes in Myanmar’s political and social landscape.
Context
The Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU) was established in late 2007 as a service to humanitarian and development agencies in Myanmar. MIMU is a part of the United Nations in Myanmar and hosted by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to support the information management needs and decision-making of humanitarian, development, and peace-focused actors across Myanmar. As such, MIMU receives strategic guidance from a Stakeholder Board comprising UN, INGO, NNGO and donor representatives. MIMU’s role is to safeguard the common data and information repository for development and humanitarian actors in the Myanmar context through gathering and compiling data from various sources on all sectors countrywide, at the lowest administrative unit for which it is available and making this information accessible to the wider group of stakeholders. MIMU plays a key role in promoting standards related to data, geo-referencing and information management among UN agencies and NGOs, including defining principles around how data will be stored, working with technical working groups to bring together available information from various sources and promoting use of the standards set by these technical groups, and supporting wider development monitoring processes. In this context, the online volunteer’s contributions will help MIMU surface labour-market and development trends, improve the usability of its data products, and build internal data-visualisation capacity. This will ultimately strengthen data collection and analysis mechanisms that provide disaggregated data to monitor progress towards the SDGs and enhance policy coherence for sustainable development, in line with SDG 17 (OI 17.3).

The Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU) is recruiting one (1) experienced Online Volunteer who, working closely with the MIMU Data Manager, will support in the analysis and visualisation of MIMU’s platform usage and collected data, while supporting the review of data visualisation products and capacity building on developing them.

The Online Volunteer will be provided with datasets to conduct the analysis and is required to update on the progress during regular calls. No products or data will be published by the Volunteer unless previously approved by the supervisor. The Volunteer will not be granted access to sensitive or restricted data.
