International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), a reputable
international NGO that supports the building of electoral democracies
with support from USAID seeks qualified applicants to fill the below
position in its Abuja office:
Job Title: GIS and Data Management Support Specialist
Position Number: 15:250
Location: Abuja, Nigeria
Division: Program Management
Status: Consultant
Project Descriptions
IFES has long supported the Operations Department of the INEC in
identification and implementation of innovative projects and
technologies in their work. In preparation for National and
Gubernatorial Elections, it is essential for the INEC to have exact
mapping of the Polling Units across the country.
In order to support INEC to enhance professionalism of its newly
established GIS laboratory, train the INEC staff, plan for efficient
integration of GIS databases into other Electoral data sets such as VR
databases and other related professional tasks, INEC needs experienced
GIS and Data Management Consultant to work with its team to share the
knowledge and built up the capacity that will help the Commission both
in preparation for upcoming Elections as well as establishment of long
term capacity for integration of Geographical Information System in
their Electoral work and enhancement of professionalism of its permanent
GIS Laboratory.
Presently, the INEC does not possess full in-house capacity to plan,
implement and manage highly technical activities and tackle challenges
posed by numerous factors including but not limited to: process of
registration of citizens directly into Polling Units instead of using
registration centers, inadequate number of Polling Units, arbitrary
configuration of Registration Area/Ward and Polling Units, placement of
Polling Units in unapproved locations, no geographic coordinates of
large number of Polling Units, no digital identification and mapping of
Registration Area and Ward boundaries, lack of constituency atlas, and
the lack of integration of Voter Registration Database data into Polling
Unit databases.
In order for INEC to tackle these challenges during the current
electoral cycle, it needs technical assistance in the areas of
geographic information systems, data management, administrative boundary
harmonization, polling unit configuration, delineation of electoral
area boundaries, and elections management. Experience in mapping the
lowest delimitation area and configuration of polling units and how they
are utilized in the context of elections management is also important.
