Background and purpose of the assignment
The World Food Programme has developed and is continuing to enhance and maintain a set of digital solutions to manage:
the identities and entitlements of its beneficiaries,
the operational parameters of the programmes that transfer benefits to them, and
the interfaces with financial service providers and other delivery mechanisms that process actual last mile transfers to beneficiaries.
This includes SCOPE, WFP’s beneficiary and transfer management platform that supports the WFP programme intervention cycle. The SCOPE platform is a web-based application used for beneficiary registration, intervention setup, distribution planning, transfer and distribution reporting. While there is a current focus and scale-up/enhancement related to cash-based transfers, SCOPE currently supports all WFP transfer modalities: in-kind, voucher and cash for a variety of project activities.
As an extension and over the next couple of years, WFP also plans to develop a broad array of digital assistance services (DAS) beyond those related to the current SCOPE capabilities.
In addition to this, other data-focused initiative are taking place in WFP, for instance DOTS. DOTS pulls information from across WFP into one central place. This enables staff to make more informed decisions, anticipate problems in advance and find ways to work around them. It has tools to deal with the data, but also to create reports, dashboards, and applications. Integrated information available in DOTS provides end-to-end visibility on operational activities, helping WFP to become more transparent and accountable.
DOTS is complemented by the features of Tableau Software, which allows staff to create compelling stories on data with dashboards, using Tableau’s advanced visualization tools. DOTS and Tableau work in tandem for staff who need to access information in DOTS, and then drag, drop, and visualize data in a self-serve manner – in minutes.
Most of the work will take place in Dakar, Senegal, but there will be missions to Country Offices of the region eventually, to gather requirements, train, participate in operations, implement, create dashboards, etc. These missions most of the time last a week but may sometimes be longer.
Under the direct supervision of the lead Regional Data Coordinator, the incumbent will be responsible for Business Intelligence providing:
- Enhanced Business Intelligence to support decisions making at country level.
- Operational time savings and lower IT support cost solutions.
- Enhanced Data Quality and Consistency.

The activities will be focused mostly on SCOPE data but will have to deal eventually with all sorts of data managed at WFP, ranging from corporate data repositories to ad-hoc data collected in the field.
