Responsibilities & Context
INTRODUCTION:
Cox’s Bazar, Bandarban, Rangamati and Khagrachari districts are among the lowest ranked in Bangladesh for education, skills training, food security, poverty and agricultural productivity. The situation has worsened since 2017, with the Rohingya refugee influx, which has put enormous pressure on the local economies, resulting in loss of livelihoods, depressed local wages, and distorted local markets. Moreover, these districts are prone to chronic and rapid onset disasters.
In response, the USAID Host and Impacted Communities Resilience Activity (HICRA) led by Friends In Village Development Bangladesh (FIVDB) is taking an integrated approach to improve the overall well-being and resilience of people residing in the communities hosting or impacted by the Rohingya refugee crisis. This includes implementing livelihoods; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); natural resource management (NRM); and disaster risk reduction (DRR) interventions with an estimated 114,000 households across the four prioritized districts.
ROLE PURPOSE:
The Management Information System (MIS) Specialist will be responsible for overseeing the collection, management, and analysis of geo-coded activity performance data across HICRA Consortium for monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL), analysis, reporting, and spatial presentation. This role involves supporting the MIS and data collection functions to systematically generate quality and precise data, facilitate geo-coded data collection and analysis, and streamline reporting processes regarding HICRA’s economic empowerment; ultra-poor graduation; water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); natural resource management (NRM), and disaster risk reduction (DRR) priorities.
The MIS Specialist collaborates with cross-functional teams, provides technical expertise, and ensures the quality of data and information. Key responsibilities include supporting and managing MIS, facilitating data collection and reporting structures, and coordinating with partners. The MIS specialist is also anticipated to be a technical user of GIS, thus the position is expected to contribute in ensuring collection of geo-coded data within HICRA’s MIS. The role also involves rolling out capacity development plans for technical and implementing partners in operationalization of MIS, and function as a help desk to assist them as per need. Additionally, the MIS Specialist will closely coordinate and collaborate with regional, district and Upazila MEL colleagues. S/he will also be responsible to support adaptive management processes, travel to project areas, and ensure adherence to USAID’s policies.
