Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will lead field-based land use mapping to support Ghana’s planetGOLD project, focusing on artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) zones. Your day-to-day includes spatial data collection (GIS/GPS), classifying land cover changes, and producing maps that guide environmental remediation and policy decisions. Expect collaboration with local communities, government agencies, and UNDP teams in remote mining areas.
Key skills to highlight
Strong proficiency in GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS) and remote sensing (Landsat, Sentinel). Experience with participatory mapping, land use classification, and field data validation is crucial. Familiarity with ASGM landscapes, environmental impact assessment, and Ghana’s mining regulations will set you apart. Data analysis and report writing skills are non-negotiable.
Taf4All CV tip
Include a “Spatial Mapping Projects” section with 2–3 specific examples (e.g., “Mapped 500 km² of ASGM zones in Western Region using Sentinel-2 imagery, achieving 90% classification accuracy”). Quantify your outputs—number of maps produced, field sites visited, or hectares analyzed. This shows direct relevance to planetGOLD’s needs.
Before you apply
Verify the vacancy on UNDP’s official Ghana jobs page (undp.org/ghana). UNDP never charges application fees. Check that the contact email ends in @undp.org and avoid sharing sensitive IDs or bank details. If unsure, email UNDP Ghana directly to confirm.

- •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.
