GIS & Remote Sensing Support Volunteer [SPI]

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.

UNDP in Armenia was established in March 1993, and supports the government in meeting its development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals.

UNDP has been working to accelerate the development of Armenia for almost 25 years. It works at the upstream policy level, advising on legal and policy frameworks, and implements downstream initiatives, turning projects into policies and policies into actions. UNDP also has enormous reach across the country - in rural and urban areas and amongst a growing network of youth, innovators, and social entrepreneurs.

UNDP Armenia and Tech4R are developing an integrated disaster risk data platform. To ensure it supports effective emergency response, GIS and remote sensing are essential to map hazards, monitor impacts, and visualize risks. Volunteers will contribute to building layered maps, processing drone and satellite imagery, and integrating spatial data into decision-support tools.

TheGIS & Remote Sensing Support Volunteer will:
• Collect, clean, and manage geospatial datasets (infrastructure, hazard maps, population data).
• Process and analyze satellite imagery and drone data for disaster impact assessment.
• Create layered maps to visualize affected areas and highlight hotspots.
• Integrate GIS outputs with field-collected data and dashboards.
• Support geospatial modeling to predict disaster risks and secondary hazards.
• Provide technical guidance to national GIS officers and emergency teams.
