Description
BlueSquare is a fast growing technology start-up that helps emerging countries and their partners re-invent public systems and boost essential service delivery such as health, education and justice to the poorest. BlueSquare is active in 10 countries, and has clients ranging from large organizations such as the World Bank, Universities, consultancies and NGOs. They are a passionate team of twenty professionals from 6 countries with mixed profiles, from web developers to travelling project managers and health economists with a good experience of global aid challenges. They are currently based in ICAB, Brussels, Belgium and in Bujumbura, Burundi.
The successful candidate will be in charge of three different projects:
- BlueSquare is willing to develop a “meta” data platform for one of their clients. A Meta is a website that displays aggregated data from several countries and systems (for example from platforms such as health.pbfsudkivu.org, pbfcar.org, and other data bases). The objective is to improve the ‘donor experience’ of their client (through the website, and in the future through other social media tools) by displaying real time results. The objective is also to build an example of a traceable funding mechanism in the health sector.
- The project manager will also be in charge of the implementation of a “regional meta RBF dashboard” in DRC that will display data from a multi-sector intervention.
