BACKGROUND

The ongoing crisis in Myanmar is a complex mix of political, security, human rights, and economic crises that is exacerbating, and escalating humanitarian and human development needs and has already placed basic needs of the people at risk. After a decade of strong economic growth, the recent political setbacks coupled with the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, threaten Myanmar's chances of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, after a period of semi-civilian rule, the military takeover triggered a resumption in armed conflict. Since February 2021, 3.6 million people have been displaced, adding to the 370,000 people already displaced by conflict before 2021 (UNOCHA Myanmar Humanitarian Snapshot, December 2021). The consequences of these trends are catastrophic. Major gains over the past 10 years, namely on economic inclusion are at risk. This context, and the uncertain political situation in Myanmar is driving a simultaneous humanitarian and development crisis that threatens hard-won socio-economic gains. 

These challenges have been compounded by the powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake which struck central Myanmar on 28 March 2025, with its epicentre near Mandalay at a shallow depth of 10 km. This was followed by powerful aftershock of 6.4 magnitude shortly after. Reports indicated significant loss of life and injuries, and widespread displacement. 

The earthquake caused extensive destruction of homes, community assets, and critical infrastructure. Major bridges, roads, markets, universities, hotels, heritage sites and public service facilities in urban and rural areas were severely damaged or destroyed. Large volumes of debris continue to impede movement, restrict access to communities, and slow the restoration of basic services and economic activity. Essential services, including electricity, water supply, transport networks and telecommunications, remain unstable, limiting mobility, market functioning and the resumption of public services. Thousands of households have lost productive assets, with many facing significant barriers to restarting livelihoods and income-generating activities. Local businesses, especially micro, small and medium enterprise, have been heavily affected, with damaged premises, disrupted supply chains, and limited access to finance, constraining their ability to resume operations. The earthquake struck in locations already marked by conflict, displacement, and weakened systems, further compounding vulnerabilities but also constraining access and the delivery of assistance.

Against this background, UNDP is implementing an Earthquake Response effort, aimed at restoring basic services, facilitating the early to medium-term recovery of affected communities, and laying the groundwork for local economic recovery and long-term resilience of earthquake-affected areas.

For every child, the right to a Champion

 

How can you make a difference?

The demands on UNICEF to effectively use data to respond to large scale crisis in all regions have never been greater. UNICEF's leadership in Nutrition Information Systems in Emergencies (NIS-E) has long been central to its mandate to protect the most vulnerable children and women in humanitarian crises. Yet the global nutrition information landscape remains highly fragmented characterized by disconnected systems, siloed datasets, and uneven analytical capacity across regions and countries. These challenges have limited UNICEF's ability to anticipate risks, coordinate across sectors, and translate evidence into early and effective action. Meeting this demand requires a fundamental shift from fragmented data collection to a coherent, institutionalized, and forward-looking nutrition information ecosystem.

Under the leadership of the Unit Chief and Senior Advisor, Nutrition Data, in the Data and Analytics Section and the Senior Nutrition Advisor, Child Nutrition and Development in Emergencies in Nairobi, this role will be the focal point for UNICEF's global engagement on nutrition risk assessment, strengthening the use of nutrition data in emergency, supporting country teams to estimate the number of children at risk of wasting in humanitarian contexts, and enhancing UNICEF engagement in critical global food security initiatives (such as Integrated Phase Classification (IPC). The role will also support localization, digital innovation, and strengthen the institutionalization of NIS-E across UNICEF structures and national systems, strengthen partnerships with WFP, FAO, WHO, IPC, and academia, and ensure that evidence consistently drives foresight, advocacy, and investment decisions.

If you would like to know more about this position, please review the complete Job Description here: JD - Nutrition Emergencies (Data and Analytics) _P4_TA

They will retain their fixed-term entitlements but will not hold a lien to their abolished post. For other scenarios where a Temporary Assignment may be possible, please refer to Additional guidance on IP to IP temporary assignments after completion of the full TOD.pdf (accessible to UNICEF personnel only).

The conditions of a temporary assignment, including relocation entitlements, will depend on the status of the staff member's original appointment and may be limited in accordance with applicable UNICEF policies, procedures, and practices in force.
