The effective management of domestic and stray animals is essential for public health, prevention of zoonotic diseases, and sustainable local governance. Currently, records on animal registration and vaccination are fragmented, limiting data-driven management and early disease detection.

The Digital Animal Identification Platform will enable the registration of pets and shelter animals, tracking through microchip data, and integrated mapping of animal population and vaccination records.

The Team Lead will coordinate a volunteer team of developers, GIS specialists, and data managers to design, test, and deliver the platform, ensuring its accessibility, accuracy, and usability.

The Volunteer will provide support to the project team in:

-Coordinating developers, database specialists, and GIS volunteers to build the platform. -Overseeing integration of registration, vaccination, and mapping modules. -Ensuring data accuracy and compliance with national regulations on animal identification. -Facilitating coordination between Tech4R, UNDP GEF SGP, and municipal partners. -Supporting testing, user manual preparation, and final documentation.
