Data Collection 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.

Accurate, timely, and localized disaster data is essential for resilience planning. UNDP Armenia and Tech4R are piloting a modular disaster data collection toolkit based on Kobo Toolbox and other open-source platforms. Volunteers will support field testing, ensuring usability, data quality, and multilingual accessibility.

The Data Collection Support Volunteer will:

• Conduct pilot data collection exercises using Kobo Toolbox or similar platforms.
• Conduct data quality checks, troubleshooting, and basic digital literacy.
• Support translation and localization of forms and training materials into Armenian and Russian.
• Document lessons learned and feedback from training and pilots for continuous improvement.
