Context
The Tech Volunteers for Resilience (Tech4R) programme, jointly led by the United Nations Development Programme’s Istanbul International Centre for Private Sector in Development (UNDP ICPSD) and the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme, mobilizes skilled digital volunteers to co-create open-source solutions that strengthen disaster resilience and sustainable development. In partnership with UN-Habitat Ukraine, Tech4R will deploy volunteers to support the design and development of a GIS-Based Recovery Dashboard for Borodianka hromada (Kyiv Oblast) — one of the municipalities most affected by conflict and environmental hazards. The dashboard will consolidate reconstruction project data, spatial information, and environmental risk indicators into an interactive platform to help local authorities and partners monitor and plan recovery more effectively.
The GIS & Data Integration Volunteers will be part of a multi-disciplinary team contributing to data structuring, cleaning, and geocoding to create a unified geodatabase for the dashboard.
