Supply Data Specialist

National UNV assignment - Egypt

Context

The World Health Organization (WHO) serves as the directing and coordinating authority for public health within the United Nations system, working to promote health, protect populations, and support the most vulnerable. In the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), WHO provides strategic and technical assistance to the Ministry of Health to strengthen health systems, improve service delivery, and advance universal health coverage. Within this setting, WHO’s Operational Support and Logistics (OSL) function manages a complex, multi‑corridor humanitarian supply chain, including international and local procurement and large‑scale movements of medical and relief supplies into Gaza. The increasing volume of shipments, number of partners, and need for real‑time visibility—particularly along the Egyptian corridor—require strengthened information management systems. The Supply Data Specialist will play a central role in consolidating, analyzing, and visualizing supply chain data to support operational decision‑making, partner coordination, and transparent reporting.
