WOAH recruits 01 Data Analyst – Data Integration Department – WOAH HQ Paris, France
Context
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) is the intergovernmental organisation responsible for improving animal health, veterinary public health and animal welfare worldwide, as well as for ensuring transparency of the global animal disease situation. More information can be found on WOAH’s website. As an Organisation, WOAH collects, analyses, validates, and disseminates a large volume of information through different sources, platforms and processes to achieve its mandate.
The importance of data and improving data-set value is paramount to policy-making at national and international levels. Policy-makers must rapidly create and coordinate actions based on complex information to positively impact the global animal health system and global health security.
This is why WOAH strives to provide its Members and partners with robust information to strengthen animal health institutions and partnerships. To expand on the delivery of its 7th Strategic Plan, particularly on data governance and responding to Members needs, the Organisation created the Data Integration Department (DID) aiming at applying the principles of data integration to three major areas of the organisation’s activity, in order to support decision-making. These areas are the implementation of standards, the economic impact of animal disease and health issues, and epidemic intelligence.
WOAH’s DID brings together business teams working on epidemic intelligence and WOAH Observatory The department works on activities relating to: developing initiatives to enhance the use of data in the design, monitoring and assessment of WOAH’s work programme.streamlining data collection efforts by supporting an integrated, unified, and pragmatic approach to data collection, validation, and management.promoting the use of WOAH’s data by WOAH Members in making animal health policy and investment decisions.encouraging, monitoring, and eventually supporting the implementation of WOAH standardsenhancing internal & external coordination on data initiatives and supporting WOAH’s Digital Transformation Strategy and the Data Management Group.
The WOAH Epidemic Intelligence Strategy and Analysis (EISA) team is responsible for a range of activities aimed at adding value to and improving the presentation, analysis and interpretation of animal health data collected by WOAH. To this end, the EISA team produces and publishes situation reports on diseases considered to be of high relevance to the Organisation and the general public and provides epidemiological analyses for global and regional WOAH and scientific meetings. The EISA team is also developing the WOAH Epidemic Intelligence Framework to better integrate and use official and non-official animal health information for early warning, risk assessment and decision making.
WOAH’s Observatory is a transversal programme that provides an overview of the uptake of international standards on animal health and welfare and veterinary public health by WOAH Members. It contributes to the progressive improvement of Members implementation as well as to the constant assessment of WOAH’s corporate initiatives by providing valuable feedback and recommendations. The Data Analyst will be based at the WOAH Headquarters in Paris, France, and will focus on developing and implementing initiatives on a foundation of consolidation and needs definition with the existing resources.
