Job description Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Officer Title Reports to Background Job Summary and Essential Duties and Responsibilities Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Officer Data Manager The GIS Officer works at the intersection of data analysis, mapping programming, and cartography.
His/her primary duties will include analysing TB spatial data through mapping software and designing digital maps with geographic data and various other data sets from the Data sets captured in the field and DHIS2.

He/She will also provide broad data analysis as part of the data analytics team.

Accurate mapping of spatial heterogeneity in tuberculosis (TB) cases is critical for achieving high impact control as well as guide resource allocation in most developing countries.
GIS Officer will be using spatial statistics and GIS techniques as a preamble to identifying areas with elevated risk for prioritisation of control and intervention measures 1.

Working with the NTP data manager in setting up data elements and configurations that permit geospatial analytics in DHIS2.
