The GIS Specialist will support the spatial analysis components of the agrifood systems assessment by: developing, managing, and analyzing geospatial data to map agrifood system disruption, stakeholder distribution, and recovery-relevant spatial patterns, in alignment with the analytical framework defined by the Lead Researcher.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage geospatial datasets related to land use, irrigation and water infrastructure, markets, administrative boundaries, stakeholder locations, and available FAO GIS products. 
• Develop baseline spatial layers and maps representing agrifood system characteristics, production zones, stakeholder distribution, and key value chain infrastructure across the OPT. 
• Produce spatial analysis and mapping outputs illustrating agrifood system disruptions, including damage to productive assets, irrigation systems, market access constraints, and geographic patterns of impact and recovery potential. 
• Support stakeholder and value chain mapping by visualizing formal and informal agrifood networks, production and market nodes, and geographic distribution of key actors across the agrifood system. 
• Integrate GIS analysis with qualitative research findings, including geo-referenced KIIs and FGDs, and produce high-quality, policy-relevant maps and geospatial datasets in line with FAO standards and the analytical framework defined by the Lead Researcher.
