The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in South Sudan is implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2023–2027. The Cooperation Framework articulates the collective vision and results of the UN system in support of South Sudan’s national development priorities and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.To strengthen results-based monitoring and reporting, the UN Country Team uses the UNINFO platform — a global UN data system designed to track progress against the UNSDCF results framework and SDG indicators. As part of the 2025 Mid-Year Review, the RCO is consolidating data from 2023, 2024, and 2025 into UNINFO to ensure a comprehensive record of results across all four Cooperation Framework Outcomes and their respective Outputs. The RCO seeks the services of Online Volunteer to support the population, verification, and organization of data in UNINFO based on available Excel datasets, annual reports, and mid-year review inputs from UN agencies.

a. Familiarization and Review (Day 1–2)

i. Review the UNSDCF Results Framework, including indicators under all four Outcomes and their associated Outputs. ii.

Familiarize themselves with the UNINFO interface and reporting structure, including indicator-level metadata and data-entry protocols.

b. Data Verification and Consolidation (Day 3–4)

i. Review and verify data for accuracy, completeness, and consistency across years (2023–2025). ii. Identify and flag any discrepancies or missing data for clarification with the RCO focal point. iii. Ensure alignment between the data in Excel files and the corresponding UNINFO indicators.
