The Joint Programme is focused on strengthening the country’s civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) system, which is currently primarily paper-based and has high coverage for birth, death, marriage, and divorce registrations. The Joint Programme aims to assist the government in their existing efforts to enhance the legal identity ecosystem by digitalizing CRVS (which the new digital E-population registry together with the infrastructure to issue digitally verifiable birth certificates aims to do), as well as, crucially, promoting interoperability by supporting the process of issuing unique identification numbers at birth.

Against this backdrop, UNDP seeks to recruit a Project Analyst to support the effective implementation of the project. The Analyst will work as part of a dynamic team, also supporting the Strategic Engagement, Digital and Innovation Team (SEDIT), Citra Lab, and the UNDP Country Office.

The Project Analyst will be directly supervised and report to the Project Manager, and under the overall guidance of the Team Leader – SEDIT. Throughout the project, the Project Analyst will support the collaboration and coordination with the World Health Organization, the Registrar-General’s Department, the Ministry of Public Administration, the Ministry of Technology, regional and global UNDP teams and other colleagues, to ensure that the Joint Programme is running smoothly.
