Description
The U.S. Department of State is seeking information from interested parties to refine the scope of work for the next phase of the FEWS NET Data, Learning, and Communications Hub. The Hub's general function is to manage, derive added value from, share, and facilitate the application of data, information, and knowledge to food security early warning, monitoring, analysis, communication, and response. The Department is looking for organizations with experience in designing, maintaining, and scaling large, integrated data systems, as well as strategic communications and knowledge management. The ideal respondent will have experience working with global food security data and analysis, and be able to provide actionable insights to decision-makers.
Some key responsibilities of the Hub include:
• Managing and improving FEWS NET's core data and knowledge infrastructure
• Ensuring that information is accessible, reliable, and actionable for decision-makers
• Developing and implementing strategies to improve internal collaboration and external awareness of FEWS NET data and knowledge products
• Transforming FEWS NET's historical archive of reports, assessments, and datasets into a structured, queryable knowledge graph
• Operating an FDW-based data delivery system to provide timely data and analysis for humanitarian assistance planning
