Duties and ResponsibilitiesThe UN Secretary-General launched on 1 January 2019 a bold and new global reform which repositioned the UN Development System to deliver more effectively and efficiently with the achievement of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As part of this reform, UN Resident Coordinator Offices (UN RCO), under the leadership of an empowered and independent UN Resident Coordinator, support countries in the achievement of their development priorities and the attainment of the SDGs. The position is based at the RCO in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Integrated Analytics and Insights Specialist will be a member of the RCO team and contribute to supporting the operationalization of a vision for enhanced Government-UN-IFIs coordination mechanisms in line with the requirements of UN 2.0. He/She will work under the supervision of the Head of the Resident Coordinator’s Office in Haiti and in close collaboration with the Economist/Development Coordination Officer in the RCO, and other key RCO personnel and consultants. The RCO is spearheading efforts to strengthen data-driven decision-making across the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) pillars of the United Nations in Haiti. Building on the foundational work of a newly developed multi-source data platform, the RCO seeks to recruit an Integrated Analytics and Insights Officer to enhance the strategic use of data and produce high-impact analytical products that inform joint planning, coordination, and policy dialogue among UN agencies, International Financial Institutions (IFIs), and Government counterparts. Within this framework, the selected consultant will serve as part of the RCO team and contribute to the implementation of a project funded by the Peacebuilding Support Office’s (PBSO) Partnership Facility.

The project aligns with the Facility’s core objective of advancing strategic partnerships between the United Nations and IFIs in crisis-affected contexts. Key priorities include the deployment of dedicated analytical capacity and resources to support shared assessments, data integration, and joint analytical processes (including “deep dives”), to foster a common understanding of multidimensional risks, drivers of fragility and conflict, and critical gaps in planning, resource allocation, and programming.
