Identity Management (IDM) Data Analyst

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

WFP defines “identity management” (IDM) as the principles, standards, processes, capabilities and technology solutions that we use to identify people and to store and utilise their information. This applies both when we assist people through our own programme activities and when we provide assistance on behalf of governments or other partners. Our principles and standards aim to put the people we assist at the centre of our programmes, empowering them and protecting them. The registration, enrolment, verification, delivery, and assurance processes aim to enable the delivery of quality programmes while the capabilities, including skill sets, technology, services, and partnerships, enable WFP to meet the principles and standards.

In Gaza, WFP has rolled out robust digital IDM solutions such as the self-registration tool, data assurance tool, and payment instrument tracking tool. The incumbent of this role will work within the WFP Gaza Programme unit, working closely with relevant technical colleagues in the Area Office, Country Office (CO), and Headquarters (HQ).
