1. Introduction

The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) is one of the Regional

Economic Communities (RECs) of the African Union Commission. Established in 1986

as the Intergovernmental Authority on Drought and Development (IGADD) to coordinate

the member states' efforts in combating drought and desertification. In 1996, IGAD was

revitalized, expanding its mandate and renamed Intergovernmental Authority on

Development (IGAD). IGAD has various divisions and specialized institutions including

the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) which provides climate

services and applications, including disaster risk management (DRM).

The Mobility, Disasters and Climate Change Project (MoDiaC) aims to enhance regional

cooperation and strengthen the technical and institutional capacities of IGAD and its

member states in addressing disaster and climate-induced displacements. The project

focuses on developing sustainable, data-driven solutions for managing climate and

disaster-induced human mobility through improved early warning systems, risk modeling,

and policy frameworks.

To support these efforts, ICPAC is recruiting a Senior displacement Data Modeler to

support the development, integration, and application of disaster displacement risk

models within the East Africa Hazards watch system. This role will enhance data quality,

sustainability, and usability for decision-makers and policymakers in the IGAD region.

2. Objective of the Assignment

The goal of these consulting services is to assist the MoDiaC project in developing

displacement risk models and integrating them into ICPAC's Hazard Watch. This includes

ensuring the integration of climate, environmental, and disaster data to support

displacement risk assessment, monitoring, forecasting, and the implementation of

anticipatory actions.
