The Crisis Learning, Early-warning, Anticipation, and Response (CLEAR) project is an ambitious AI-powered ecosystem designed to revolutionize humanitarian emergency response. CLEAR addresses critical gaps in current humanitarian operations including lack of early warning systems, information overload, absence of comprehensive planning systems for rapid response, and critically, the limited capacity of field response teams to effectively utilise available data for decision-making.
The system comprises four integrated components:
- Advanced Crisis Detection Engine - Automated monitoring and pattern recognition
- Anticipatory Action Platform - Predictive impact modeling and scenario planning
- Rapid Cash Distribution System - Automated vulnerability assessment and digital delivery
- Field Response Interface - Unified dashboard and knowledge access system
We seek an experienced product design consultant to lead the initial exploration and design strategy for CLEAR, with particular focus on designing data-driven interfaces that bridge the capacity gap between complex humanitarian data and field-level decision-making. The consultant will set the foundation for designing user experiences that make sophisticated data analytics accessible to humanitarian responders regardless of their technical background, and provide initial design concepts for how CLEAR will integrate with existing humanitarian information systems.
The consultant will conduct desk research and initial user research to help design the strategy development for the CLEAR ecosystem, focusing on creating interfaces between existing data systems to enable field teams to effectively utilise data for humanitarian response decisions. The work encompasses understanding current field-level data capacity limitations (including connectivity, hardware and varying levels of data literacy), designing intuitive data-driven interfaces, and providing initial design concepts for system integrations.
Deadline for submissions is 10 August 2025 at 23:59 GMT+2
