The Tech Volunteers for Resilience (Tech4R) programme, jointly led by the United Nations Development Programme’s Istanbul International Centre for Private Sector in Development (UNDP ICPSD) and the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme, mobilizes skilled digital volunteers to co-create open-source tools that strengthen resilience, inclusion, and sustainable development. In collaboration with UNDP Uzbekistan under the GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP), Tech4R is supporting the Chip-Mahalla 2025 initiative by developing a Digital Platform for Animal Identification and Management in Uzbekistan. The project aims to create an open-source platform that enables the registration, identification, and management of domestic and shelter animals through integrated digital systems. The tool will improve coordination among veterinary institutions, shelters, and municipalities while promoting transparent, humane, and data-driven animal welfare management. The UI/UX & Visualization Volunteers will focus on designing a simple, accessible, and user-friendly interface for the digital platform. They will also create visualization elements that allow users to easily interpret data, such as animal registration trends, vaccination status, and other key indicators. Their contribution will ensure that the platform is intuitive, inclusive, and visually engaging for all user groups.
The Volunteer, together with the team will: • Design user-friendly, accessible layouts for the digital platform’s interface. • Create clear navigation flows and intuitive user experiences for different user roles (e.g., veterinarians, shelter staff, administrators). • Develop visual mockups and prototypes for testing and feedback. • Support the creation of dashboards and visual data displays for reporting purposes. • Ensure the design meets universal accessibility and usability standards. • Collaborate closely with the software development and database teams to ensure alignment between visual design and functionality. • Prepare basic design documentation for future replication or scaling.
This is an unpaid volunteer assignment.
