Background
The five-year, USAID SELARAS activity will address the limiting conditions for better solid waste management services in areas where USG investments can significantly reduce ocean plastic pollution while also partnering with private sector enterprises to scale interventions. Achieving this mutual goal will require a diverse approach to:
1) strengthen solid waste sector governance and financing;
2) improve and expand solid waste management services;
3) strengthen local markets and businesses;
4) improve social behaviors and practices; and
5) improve systems for tracking and reducing methane emission.
USAID SELARAS will work at national, provincial, and local levels of government. Partnering with key institutions and stakeholders, the Activity will provide timely, relevant, and foundational support to enable the GOI to make progress towards its development objectives of having 100 percent of solid waste managed by 2024 and reduction of marine plastic pollution by 70 percent by 2025.
USAID SELARAS is looking for Individual Consultant for: GIS Specialist
Purpose
The purpose of hiring a Short-Term Technical Assistance (STTA) GIS expert is to provide essential remote sensing and spatial analysis support for baseline studies in various cities and districts (18 cities/districts) within the USAID SELARAS project. The GIS expert will focus on conducting detailed geographic analyses to inform key areas of the project, particularly the accessibility of waste collection services. By analyzing spatial data, the expert will identify regions with adequate service coverage and areas that are underserved, allowing the project to gain a clearer understanding of service accessibility. Another critical focus will be the management and spatial distribution of waste facilities. The GIS expert will map the locations of these facilities, assess their operational capacities, and determine their reach within each area, ultimately providing valuable insights into facility efficiency and highlighting regions that may benefit from additional resources or new facilities.
Additionally, the GIS expert will create detailed maps for each city or district involved in the project, which will serve as vital visual tools for baseline studies as well as ongoing planning efforts. These maps will offer a geographic overview of waste management infrastructure, service reach, and the distribution of resources, enabling stakeholders to make data-driven decisions grounded in the spatial realities of each target area.
