Contract

This is a UNV National Specialist contract. This kind of contract is known as National UN Volunteer. It is normally only for nationals. More about UNV National Specialist contracts.

The Programme supports the National Energy Strategy of Ukraine, contributing to energy security and independence, promoting a green recovery and transition of the energy sector, and facilitating further synchronization with the EU energy markets. This effort builds on UNDP’s engagement in energy system reconstruction and recovery, leveraging partnerships and lessons learned from the “Winterization Support to Ukraine” project. Aligned with the UN Ukraine Transitional Framework 2023 and UN Winterization plans, UNDP is providing immediate support to national and local governments to repair energy infrastructure, ensuring critical services to war-affected populations. The Programme focuses on distributing generation sources, decentralizing the power system, and increasing the share of renewable energy sources to reduce reliance on coal generation and reduce CO2 emissions. The Programme will enhance access to energy from decentralized renewable sources, foster economic empowerment, and improve public governance in the energy sector. These outputs will contribute to Ukraine’s nationally determined contributions (NDCs) towards the Paris Agreement, aimed at reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The activities of the Programme are implemented in close coordination with the Ministry of Energy in order to ensure the Programme is in line with Government priorities in the energy sector. As a result of March-May 2024 attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, critical energy facilities were dramatically damaged - almost 80% of energy generation, transmission and distribution assets were damaged or destroyed, impacting the lives of millions of Ukrainians. To address this crisis and prepare for the winter 2024-2025, UNDP will support the Ministry of Energy by establishing the Emergency Energy Crisis Technical Headquarters (EECT HQ). In this context UNDP is recruiting Data Analyst to ensure the accuracy, integrity, and effective management of data related to energy infrastructure, procurement, and strategic planning, thereby supporting informed decision-making and efficient project implementation.

5. Interactive map requirements and data filling:

- Prepare requirements for the software capabilities and content of the interactive map of the energy system. - Ensure the interactive map is filled with accurate and relevant data from databases.

6. Strategy and policy development participation:

- Participate in the development of draft short-, medium-, and long-term strategies and energy policy. - Contribute to the development of action plans for the implementation of strategies. - Analyze and implement measures to improve data management based on business needs. - Monitor the fulfillment of strategic goals and analyze the implementation of strategies.
