National Multisectoral and WASH Data Management Consultant

Addis Ababa, EthiopiaConsultantUNICEF
ClosedPosted Aug 10, 2026

TERMS OF REFERENCE

UNICEF works across more than 190 countries and territories to uphold every child’s rights, with WASH closely linked to Health, Nutrition, Education, Child Protection and Social Policy. Effective multisectoral programming in Ethiopia increasingly depends on timely, accurate and accessible data to guide planning, monitor results, target vulnerable populations and support rapid emergency response. The Country Office is therefore strengthening its data management architecture to improve evidence-based decision-making, real-time monitoring and accountability to affected populations, including in hard-to-reach and emergency-affected areas.

Accordingly, UNICEF seeks to engage a Multisectoral and WASH Data Management Specialist to design, deploy and maintain integrated data management solutions for WASH and related sectoral interventions at national and sub-national levels. The consultant will support the development of digital data collection tools, online and remote-access systems, geospatial analysis, interactive dashboards, visual reporting products and interoperable data export processes aligned with UNICEF-approved and government information systems. The assignment will also strengthen data quality, harmonization, secure data handling and practical use of program information for management, reporting, advocacy and donor engagement.
