Organization

iMMAP Inc. is an international nongovernmental organisation that provides information management services to humanitarian and development organizations. Through information management, we help our partners target assistance to the world’s most vulnerable populations. Our core philosophy is that better data leads to better decisions and that better decisions lead to better outcomes. iMMAP Inc.’s critical support to information value chains helps to solve operational and strategic challenges of our partners in both emergency and development contexts by enabling evidence-based decision-making for better outcomes*.*

Background

iMMAP Inc.’s present project is designed to strengthen the information management capacities of the Somalia Explosive Management Authority (SEMA) in the coming years. Earlier in late 2023, iMMAP Inc. introduced the Humanitarian Information Support Team (HIST) in Somalia. This demand-driven and centralised Information Management request system simplifies the support provided to local and international humanitarian actors involved in the Somalia Response. The initiative centred on the establishment of an Information Management Unit that supports and collaborates with humanitarian actors, including UN Agencies, NGOs and INGOs working across various clusters and sectors, including UNOCHA, Food Security and Livelihood, Nutrition and WASH clusters, to enhance data collection, validation, analysis, and reporting. This initiative included the capacity building of the partners, development of interactive dashboards, spatial analysis, and mapping to support processes like the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) and Humanitarian Response Needs Plan (HRNP). In the first half of 2024, the project has facilitated the increased involvement of stakeholders, including the Operational Cell (OC), Area Based Coordination structures (ABCs), Somalia Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA), and Somalia NGO Consortium (SNC). This expansion has enhanced efforts to meet the urgent needs of Somalia’s vulnerable populations amidst the ongoing crisis.

The MERL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, and Learning) Associate will play a pivotal role in advancing institutional research, capacity development, knowledge management, and monitoring & evaluation across public sector institutions and humanitarian-development programs in Somalia.

The Associate will also contribute to needs assessments, proposal development, and impact analyses, particularly examining the intersection of conflict, climate change, and vulnerability in Somali communities. The role requires a strong analytical mindset, familiarity with development and humanitarian contexts, and the ability to work collaboratively with government, civil society, and international actors.

Important Notice

Kindly note that this position is subject to Fund Availability. iMMAP Inc. reserves the right to cancel or postpone the recruitment process at any stage if funds are not secured.

Overview of position

Since the formation of the Federal Government of Somalia, the country has made significant progress towards restoring peace and security. However, significant destabilizing factors remain. These include most notably, the persistent threat of violent extremist group al-Shabaab, particularly in rural areas; recurrent and unresolved clan, land, and resource-based conflicts; weak and nascent institutions; and the internal displacement of more than 2 million individuals.

While the transition, recovery, and development needs of Somalia, after almost 3 decades of civic conflict and violent extremism remain a long term, if not generational process, such progress will be unachievable in the absence of solid foundations for peace and security, particularly at community levels. Currently, several regions remain at risk of deteriorating into clan-based conflict and falling under the occupation of violent extremist groups, in the absence of consolidated, strategic support for stability.

Since 2016, IOM has been supporting the government to lead, and for communities to drive transition and recovery processes in areas impacted by displacement, conflict, and violent extremism. These programmes, which are implemented through IOM Somalia’s Transition and Recovery Pillar (TRP), are intended to promote peace, security, and stability in fragile and displacement affected areas of Somalia.
