Join Us at Plan International Bangladesh: Make a Lasting Impact!
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected and mostly during crisis. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.
Over the 30 years journey in Bangladesh, we envision a 2030 where children and youth, particularly girls and young women, are recognized as leaders of change in gender norms and can make decisions about their lives.
Since 24 September 2017, Plan International has been responding to the Rohingya refugee influx in Cox’s Bazar with special focus on protecting girls and boys from violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation; improving hygiene and sanitation; and restoring access to safe, quality, and inclusive education for refugee children and adolescents. Guided by our core values, we remain unwavering in our commitment to advancing children’s rights and equality for girls so that children, especially girls, and their communities can learn, lead, decide, and thrive.
For the past three decades, our work in Bangladesh has made a significant impact, and we are now looking for a Data Management Specialist.
The Role
Bangladesh Sustainable Recovery, Emergency Preparedness and Response Project (B-STRONG) is a World Bank-funded initiative aimed at supporting flood recovery, strengthening disaster resilience, and protecting livelihoods in Bangladesh. It follows a Build Back Better approach through resilient infrastructure, livelihood recovery, community disaster preparedness, agricultural restoration, and improved project management. Under its ‘Community Recovery and Resilience to Disasters’ component, the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) implements Employment Generation Program for the Poorest Plus (EGPP+) in 10 Upazilas across three districts, Feni, Brahmanbaria, and Chattogram. EGPP+ will provide temporary employment and income support to flood-affected and vulnerable households through public works and community services.
The Data Management Specialist will be responsible for establishing, managing and maintaining an effective data management and Management Information System (MIS) function for EGPP+, ensuring the systematic capture, verification, digitization, management and reporting of beneficiary profiles, sub-project information, daily attendance records and payment-related data. The position holder will coordinate data entry processes, maintain data quality and integrity, and apply appropriate data validation, quality-control and data management procedures to ensure completeness, consistency, accuracy, timeliness and usability of project data. The Specialist will analyze primary and secondary data, prepare data summaries and reports, and provide reliable and timely information to the Team Leader and the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to support implementation monitoring, reporting and evidence-based decision-making. The position will also provide technical guidance and support to Data Entry Operators and field teams, contribute to strengthening their capacity in data management and MIS processes, and support the resolution of data-related issues and discrepancies. The role will be based in and provide intensive support across the Feni, Brahmanbaria and Chattogram project locations, with regular coordination and travel to the relevant Upazilas and field-level implementation areas.
