UNOPS

The Asia Pacific Regional Office, based in Bangkok, Thailand, provides strategic leadership and oversight for UNOPS operations across 17 countries, ensuring high performance, operational excellence, and alignment with organizational goals. Operations currently span Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Pacific Islands. Across these countries, we work closely with key stakeholders to strengthen partnerships and maximize impact through five main operating units: Afghanistan (AFCO), Myanmar (MMCO), South Asia Multi-Country Office (SAMCO), East Asia and Pacific Multi-Country Office (EAPMCO), and the Asia Regional Health Cluster (ARHC). Through these entities, we provide agile, client-focused service delivery across diverse sectors - including infrastructure, health, procurement, and project management - supporting the implementation of sustainable development solutions across the region.

UNOPS Myanmar is one of UNOPS leading offices in Asia, acting as fund manager for three of the largest development programmes in the country. In addition, UNOPS Myanmar is Principal Recipient for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Myanmar and Cambodia, and for the Global Fund’s Regional Artemisinin-resistance Initiative targeting drug resistant malaria in the Greater Mekong sub-region. UNOPS provides procurement, infrastructure and project management services to a wide range of organizations in the country, including the Government of Myanmar, international development partners, other UN agencies, NGOs and INGOs. UNOPS Myanmar plays a critical role in ensuring that the quality of services provided to its partners meets stringent requirements of speed, efficiency and cost effectiveness.

The Community Resilience Project is implemented with a project duration of 4 years, starting in the latter half of 2025. The project aims to help targeted communities in 6 states to cope with and recover from the various on-going crises in the country, and to prepare for and strengthen their ability to withstand future shocks. The project will strengthen the capacity of vulnerable communities to address short- to medium-term development priorities through training, facilitation support, community-based infrastructure, and livelihoods assistance provided through block grants.

The project will be managed by UNOPS and delivered through a network of experienced Implementing Partners (IPs), through two components. The first component will finance the repair or renovation of small-scale, climateresilient social and economic infrastructure (roads or irrigation canals, water and sanitation structures, schools or health clinics) and basic livelihoods support (seeds and tools for agriculture production, community revolving funds, and basic training). All needs will be identified through a participatory process. It also includes emergency top-up grants to the targeted townships in the event of a natural disaster or crisis. The second component will support capacity strengthening of the communities, which includes training and assistance in participatory problem analysis and planning, household and community vulnerability mapping (including climate change and disaster risks), simple financial management and procurement procedures, application of simplified environmental and social risk standards, inclusion of women and marginalized groups, and technical training and guidance.

This role is critical for the Community Resilience Project in Myanmar, a complex, multi-component initiative operating in a challenging environment with ongoing crises. The Monitoring and Evaluation Analyst (Database) will be instrumental in establishing and maintaining the data backbone for this project, which involves numerous implementing partners across six states. The position requires a strong ability to manage diverse data streams related to infrastructure, livelihoods, and community capacity building, ensuring data integrity and providing actionable insights for adaptive management in a dynamic context. The focus on climate resilience, participatory processes, and vulnerable groups adds layers of complexity to data collection and analysis.

Under the direct supervision of the Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist, the Monitoring & Evaluation Analyst (Database) is responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining an effective database system that ensures the accuracy and security of program data. This role drives evidence-based decision-making by consolidating reports, creating data visualizations, and performing complex data analysis across the program's lifecycle. By leading Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) efforts, including data verification, survey support, and technical support to implementing partners, and project management unit, the Analyst strengthens program tracking and accountability, thereby maximizing the impact and adaptive capacity of the initiative.
