The Operational Data Portal fulfils an institutional responsibility to facilitate the sharing of detailed operational information most prominently population figures. The portals have proven to be an authoritative source for up-to-date information during refugee emergencies while the introduction of country views created a space to provide a comprehensive picture of UNHCR’s efforts related to all Persons of Concern including refugees IDPs and stateless populations. The Operational Data Portal helps UNHCR fulfil its coordination mandate for refugee operations and for the three clusters it leads or co-leads and it has information on not only UNHCR-funded activities but those of partners working with UNHCR populations of concern as well. Because clearance of data for the Operational Data Portal happens at country level instead of global level unlike in other globally maintained external facing systems the Operational Data Portal typically contains the most up-to-date population and multi-sectoral information that UNHCR has including operational information for emergency response. The ODP needs to maintain its agility in the external clearance of data and information in order to fulfil its coordination role at operational level and its own emergency response. The current version of the ODP built as a bespoke application on the Symfony framework has been in production since 2017 with changes and improvement continuously implemented. The business requirement is to redevelop the Portal using an API-first approach with a headless/low-code/no-code technology stack using already existing possibly open-source solutions.

Duties and Responsibilities The successful candidate will work as a member of the Operational Data Systems and Support Section to conduct market research fit/gap analyses and an analysis on the current version of the Operational Data Portal with the aim of identifying the most suitable new technology stack for the Portal. To achieve the minimum level of functionality of the current Portal version multiple building blocks will need to be employed creating a seamless workflow between open-source technologies. The Open-source Software Architect will be responsible for making the final recommendations to guide the development of the new version. In order to perform this function the Open-source Software Architect will have to carry out the following tasks: (i) Evaluation Criteria: * Working with the Business Analyst define the criteria that will be used to evaluate and compare different technology stack options. * Specify key factors such as cost performance scalability security maintainability development and community support and compatibility with existing systems. (ii) Technology Research and Analysis: * Conduct an in-depth analysis of various open-source technologies and frameworks suitable for the web platform. * Evaluate their features capabilities strengths weaknesses and suitability for the project requirements. * Consider factors such as development language frameworks libraries databases APIs and deployment options. * If possible build small proof-of-concept applications to test and demonstrate certain technologies’ suitability. (iii) Recommendations and Justifications: * Present recommendations for the technology stack based on the research and analysis conducted. * Provide justifications for each recommended technology explaining how they align with the project requirements and evaluation criteria. * Highlight any potential risks or challenges associated with the recommended technology stack. (iv) Implementation Roadmap: * Outline the steps required to implement the chosen technology stack. * Provide an estimated timeline for the implementation process including key milestones and dependencies.

Over the following two decades CHAI has expanded its focus. Today along with HIV we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19 malaria tuberculosis and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer diabetes hypertension and other non-communicable diseases and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines reduce maternal and child mortality combat chronic malnutrition and increase access to assistive technology.

About The Program Assistive technology (AT) is an umbrella term covering products and services that enhance functioning such as mobility hearing aids and eyeglasses. An estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide need at least one form of AT including 240 million disabled children. For the people that need it AT is lifechanging as it supports their independence and ability to live their full potential. However despite the large need one billion people are denied access to AT particularly in low- and middle-income countries where access can be as low as 3% of the need. AT provision has traditionally been perceived as a charitable activity led by NGOs and faith-based organizations. As a result provision is small-scale erratic and not sustainable. The growing need for AT is rapidly outpacing the current gains in access. A radical shift is needed from the status quo and governments requested support from CHAI to tackle this. AT is particularly important for children with disabilities during their early years (aged 0-6) as this period is critical for maximizing their development and these children are commonly deprived from equal opportunities to play learn and fulfill their potential. Early childhood interventions that involve disability screening and supportive services like AT and therapeutic activities based around play have been shown to improve child outcomes by helping children acquire new skills and behaviors to reinforce and strengthen learning. However these services are not routinely available in the public sector and millions of children with disabilities are left behind. Several countries -including Ethiopia Indonesia Kenya Liberia Nigeria Rwanda Sierra Leone South Africa – have developed plan and strategies to increase early access to AT to children with disabilities. In 2023 CHAI is starting work with the Lego Foundation to support 8 countries with the further implementation of their ambitious strategies. Over the next 3 years we will work with governments and partners to develop and implement scalable models for routine disability screening early access to AT and supportive learning via play.
