Land & GIS Specialist (Aid & Recovery) | UNV - United Nations Volunteers Land & GIS Specialist (Aid & Recovery) UNV - United Nations Volunteers Luanda International Volunteer level Speaks English, Portuguese Application deadline: July 19, 2026 Closing soon Apply Summary by Impactpool The Land & GIS Specialist will support UN-Habitat's mission in Angola by utilizing advanced GIS and cadaster tools to address humanitarian-development challenges. The role involves analyzing migration trends, developing a modern cadaster framework, and assisting in aid targeting mechanisms for vulnerable populations. Collaboration with local communities and the Korean Appraisal Board is essential to enhance land information systems and promote peacebuilding. The specialist will also contribute to area-based development plans and participate in inter-agency working groups to ensure effective resource allocation. Candidate Requirements: Experience with GIS and cadaster data analysis Knowledge of migration trends and land use pressures Ability to design aid targeting mechanisms Skills in area-based development planning Experience in data security protocols and technology standards Strong communication and collaboration skills Details Mission and objectives UN-HABITAT AGO organization mission TBD Context Angola hosts significant numbers of refugees (primarily from DRC) and internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to flooding, resource competition, and the spillover effects of regional conflicts. Recent floods have devastated communities in southern and central provinces, destroying homes, agricultural land, and infrastructure. Remote and flood-prone areas face acute challenges in accessing aid, recovering livelihoods, and securing land tenure. Angola Vision 2050 calls for modern land governance, including the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and a modern cadaster to understand migration trends, inform shelter and recovery planning, and target short- and medium-term aid where it is most needed. UN-Habitat initiated dialogues with national authorities to build a secure, technology-enabled land information system that supports peacebuilding and prevents conflicts over natural resources. To achieve this, collaboration with local communities and the Korean Appraisal Board are keys. Experience of the later in setting up a progressive land-based information management system could be helpful to modernize the Angolan’s system with a focus on migrants’ needs by taking advantage of the technologies. This assignment offers a unique opportunity to apply advanced GIS and cadaster tools as well as Internet of Things (IoT) and possibly Artificial Intelligence to real humanitarian-development challenges, working directly with government, UN partners, and communities to help Angola build back better after disasters and displacement. Task description Under the direct supervision of the UN-Habitat Angola Programme Coordinator, the UN Volunteer will undertake the following tasks: - Analyze migration trends using GIS and cadaster data to map the distribution of IDPs, refugees, and host communities in flood-affected and remote areas, identifying priority zones for recovery interventions. - Support the development of a modern cadaster framework that integrates migration dynamics, land use pressures, and environmental vulnerabilities, in line with Angola Vision 2050. - Assist in the design of short- and medium-term aid targeting mechanisms based on spatial analysis, ensuring that resources reach the most vulnerable populations (IDPs, refugees, host families) in flood-prone and remote municipalities. - Contribute to area-based development plans that link land tenure security, early recovery, and conflict prevention, with a focus on reducing competition over natural resources (land, water, forests). - Collaborate with the Korean Appraisal Board on data security protocols, technology standards, and capacity building for Angola’s national land registries. - Support community-police dialogues facilitated by UN-Habitat, providing spatial data and land-use maps to help mediate disputes and build trust. - Participate in inter-agency working groups on displacement, recovery, and resilience, ensuring that land information is used to “leave no one behind.” - Document lessons learned and produce technical reports, maps, and presentations for government, UN, and donor audiences. During the first month of the assignment, the UN Volunteer will work closely with his/her direct supervisor to finalize an agreed-upon work plan. The work plan should outline key objectives and activities and include regular check ins with the supervisor to review progress and receive performance At Impactpool we do our best to provide you the most accurate info, but closing dates may be wrong on our site.
