Remote Internship Opportunity: GIS Intern
About:
The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been IOM's main operational tool for tracking and monitoring the movements and evolving needs of displaced populations since 2004. It has been systematically deployed in medium to large-scale humanitarian response operations in the last four years, including in all Level 3 emergencies. As of the end of 2015, DTM was active in 22 countries, tracking and monitoring over 14 million IDPs.
GIS Mapping is essential to the operations and programming of IOM Costa Rica. Costa Rica became a member of the IOM in December 1952, and by 1954 an IOM permanent office in the country was established. Since then, IOM Costa Rica has implemented far-reaching programs throughout the country covering all aspects of migration, including projects on labor migration, migration and development, counter-trafficking and anti- smuggling, and protection and assistance to vulnerable migrants; all of which depend, to varying extents, on mapping and data visualization.
The intern in this position will assist IOM Costa Rica's GIS team in mapping flows of migrants in the country, exploring how different migration and development questions can be answered spatially, and preparing GIS presentations for policy briefs, special projects and annual reports.
The intern's primary responsibilities include the following but could grow to encompass far more.
