Context

The GIS-Based Recovery Dashboard for Borodianka hromada (Kyiv Oblast) is being developed under the Tech4R initiative in collaboration with UN-Habitat Ukraine to support transparent, data-driven recovery planning. The dashboard will visualize reconstruction projects alongside environmental and hazard data, offering authorities and partners an interactive, bilingual tool for risk-informed decision-making. To ensure the dashboard is visually clear, accessible, and aligned with UN-Habitat’s communication standards, the Trainer on Visualization & Bilingual Interface Design will guide volunteers in developing user-friendly layouts, meaningful data visualizations, and consistent branding. The trainer will help the teams apply effective visual storytelling, color logic, and accessibility standards while ensuring that both Ukrainian and English interfaces are equally coherent and readable. This assignment will help ensure the final dashboard combines technical precision with professional design, serving as a model for other municipalities adopting open-source visualization tools.

Task Description

Under the supervision of the Tech4R coordination team, the Trainer will: Design and conduct a focused training session on visualization principles, user interface design, and bilingual layout adaptation. Introduce volunteers to data visualization tools and methods compatible with open-source dashboards (QGIS styling, Leaflet symbology, etc.). Provide practical guidance on color schemes, legends, icons, and layer organization for clear visual storytelling. Support volunteers in creating dual-language interfaces (English/Ukrainian) ensuring text alignment, readability, and consistent formatting.
