Expert Application Advice

What this role involves
You will lead polio data management efforts in Kinshasa, ensuring accurate collection, analysis, and reporting of immunization coverage and outbreak surveillance data. Your day-to-day work includes coordinating with health zones, training local data teams, and translating complex datasets into actionable insights for RDC’s polio eradication strategy. Expect field visits to remote areas to verify data quality and support real-time decision-making.

Key skills to highlight
Showcase proficiency in DHIS2, Excel, and GIS tools for mapping polio cases. Emphasize experience with health information systems in low-resource settings, particularly in DRC or similar African contexts. Strong analytical writing and ability to present data to government stakeholders are critical—mention any work with Ministry of Health reports or WHO polio initiatives.

Taf4All CV tip
Add a “Data Impact” section listing 2-3 concrete examples where your data management improved vaccination coverage or outbreak response. Use metrics like “reduced reporting delays by 30%” or “trained 50 health workers in data entry.” This shows you understand the role’s operational focus.

Before you apply
UNICEF never charges fees for applications—ignore any requests for payment. Verify the posting on UNICEF’s official careers portal (jobs.unicef.org) to avoid scams. This role is archived, so check if it’s reopened or look for similar live postings in DRC.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
