During 2019, DTM has been active in over 60 countries, tracking and monitoring over 14.5 million displaced persons worldwide. The DTM Operations, Coordination and Support (OCS) Unit assembles expertise in operations and coordination, methodology and concept development, mapping and Geographic Information Systems, statistical analysis, database and application system development, and data and information management. The OCS provides a full range of support from the initial development and setup to continuous support on operations, staff deployment, data management, mapping, database systems, and development of information products. At the global level, the team is striving to enhance the DTM by providing technical expertise, supporting the integration of innovative technologies, improving capacity building components, and designing streamlined and harmonised processes. Recent significant scale up of both DTM operations in the field and global development initiatives requires further strengthening of the global DTM Geographic Information System (GIS) team at OCS to ensure effective and efficient implementation of global projects as well as to maintain and keep improving the quality and expansion of DTM in the field. Under the overall supervision of the Global DTM Team Leader and the direct supervision of the Human Mobility Tracking Expert (Head of OCS), the Senior Geographic Information System (GIS) Officer will be responsible and accountable for leading the support services of DTM Global team in area of GIS and data management and its contribution to effective Information Management.
