HMIS Expert

UNICEF, in partnership with the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MoPHP), is supporting the strengthening of Yemen's Health Information System (HIS) to improve the availability, quality, and use of health data for evidence-based planning, programme implementation, and decision-making. This support includes the development, implementation, maintenance, and continuous enhancement of national digital health platforms, particularly the District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2) and other integrated health information systems.
As part of this partnership, UNICEF provides technical assistance to the MoPHP in managing and maintaining the national Health Information System, ensuring its functionality, system administration, hosting, data quality, user support, capacity building, and integration with other digital health initiatives. UNICEF also supports the coordination of health information management across the Ministry, implementing partners, and donors to ensure timely reporting, programme monitoring, and accountability.
Given UNICEF's ongoing commitments under donor-funded health programmes, there is a continued need for dedicated technical capacity to sustain these systems, strengthen data management and reporting, support digital health innovations, and ensure uninterrupted operation of the national Health Information System. The position is therefore essential to maintain business continuity, safeguard UNICEF's investments in digital health, and support the Ministry in managing critical health information systems that underpin the delivery and monitoring of health services nationwide.
