UNICEF also provides humanitarian assistance when needed.Syria continues to face one of the most complex emergencies in the world. Unprecedented humanitarian needs are compounded by displacement inside the country and across its borders, extensive destruction of civilian and social services infrastructure, devastating impacts on the economy, and most importantly, the breakdown of the social fabric that stitched the country together for decades.Today, 90% of people in Syria live in poverty, most are unable to make ends meet or bring food to the table. Families have had their resources depleted, with limited employment opportunities, skyrocketing prices, and shortage of basic supplies. For most people, the current socio-economic challenges represent some of the harshest and most challenging circumstances they have faced since the beginning of the crisis 11 years ago.In 2024, 16.7 million people need humanitarian assistance. This is the highest number of people in need ever recorded in Syria since 2011. The education sector identifies 7.2 million children and education personnel in need of assistance. This is largely due the ongoing conflict, continued displacements, the unprecedented economic crisis, and deepening poverty.

The UNICEF Gender Action Plan (GAP), 2022?2025, operationalizes the UNICEF Gender Policy, 2021?2030, by specifying how UNICEF will promote gender equality across its programmes and workplaces. It affirms that promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is the responsibility of everyone, regardless of organizational role. The GAP elaborates the steps required to accelerate progress on gender equality across the five Goal Areas of the UNICEF Strategic Plan, 2022?2025 and Strategic Plan under development, as well as within institutional systems and processes, with clear indicators and monitoring mechanisms to track change. The GAP builds on an increasing knowledge base on gender equality, including current evidence regarding the gendered effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It responds to lessons learned from the implementation of previous GAPs and an extensive global consultative process with staff, partners and young people. It is grounded in the human rights principles of non-discrimination and equality and articulates the role of UNICEF, as a collaborator with Governments and other partners, in supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Recognizing that gender discrimination has lifelong and intergenerational impacts, the GAP advances gender equality throughout the life course. At the same time, it promotes targeted actions to advance the leadership and well-being of adolescent girls, as girls are both disproportionately affected by gender inequality and have tremendous potential to be leaders for change. This dual-track approach goes beyond responding to the manifestations of gender inequality to tackle its underlying drivers, including by engaging boys and men as allies; advancing upstream financing and policy solutions; and supporting girls' agency and voice.More than 64% of the population of Madagascar is aged younger than 25 years (this means a group of 19 million children and young adults). Madagascar's MICS in 2018 indicated that 96% of adolescent girls aged 10 to 17 years live in poverty in all its dimensions. Adolescent girls perform on average 18 hours of domestic tasks each week. And 39% of married women aged 20 to 24 were married before the age of 18, and 13% before the age of 15.   Women leaders, frontline service providers, and women-led and girl-centered CSOs (Civil Society Organizations) are at the forefront of responding to the needs of women, children and adolescent girls. Gender-responsive humanitarian action across clusters and partnerships with women-led and girl-centered organizations is also critical.To learn more about UNICEF work in Madagascar, please visit the country website and below video:What we do | UNICEF How can you make a difference? The Gender Programme Manager reports to the Deputy Representative Programmes for general guidance and direction  and in alignment with the GAP, his/her role is primarily technical and programmatic, with the normative advocacy and coordination roles serving as a secondary function.

The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life ? in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions ? her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens ? addressing inequity ? not only will give more children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.Find out how UNICEF programmes drives change for children in Timor-Leste by visiting  How can you make a difference? Under supervision of Deputy representative provide support on the development, preparation, management, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the WASH programme within the country programme.

The region has suffered a 7-fold increase in serious environmental problems exacerbated by climate change since 1980. These are documented in the UNICEF (2021) report The Climate Crisis: Climate Change Impacts, Trends and Vulnerabilities of Children in Sub Saharan Africa.Comoros in particular is highly susceptible to climate change and its population in particular women and children are exposed to climate and environmental hazards including coastal flooding, tropical cyclones, water scarcity, and vector-borne diseases. In addition to risks to climate related hazards, volcanic hazards and associated seismic activity which results in earthquakes/tremors are also prevalent. Comoros in its National Plan for Integrated water resources (2018- 2030), recognised that as a result of climate change, the number of annual rainy days has decreased by 26% in past 50 years, the number of perennial rivers (continuous flow throughout the year) in Comoros has been divided by 4 in 70 years, rainfall intensities have increased resulting in flash floods of greater intensity, hydrological droughts have been more severe in the past decades, which has also contributed to over-pumping in coastal aquifers and has increased saline intrusions (from the ocean) and resulted in the pumping of brackish water into the water supply system in some areas.UNICEF in partnership with KOICA will address the climate crisis and its impact on children in Comoros, and Zimbabwe through increased climate resilience in the social services and social infrastructure. The programme aims to build climate-smart infrastructure and access to net-zero climate-smart social services through gender responsive and inclusive low-carbon development pathways to reduce climate vulnerabilities in the targeted areas. Children in these countries (i.e Comoros and Zimbabwe) will also directly and indirectly benefit from improved gender responsive climate policies, climate finance, access to climate justice, laws and regulations and transformational institutional capacity. How can you make a difference? UNICEF Comoros Office seeks to recruit a Programme Officer (Climate and Sustainable Environment) to support the implementation of the KOICA/UNICEF Climate Smart Social Services and Infrastructure Programme.

The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop, and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias, or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life in its social, political, economic, civic, and cultural dimensions her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education, and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens addressing inequity will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential and lead to sustained growth and stability of countries.Visit our website to learn more about what we do at UNICEF and to learn more about the work we do in Nigeria click here. How can you make a difference? The chief Health reports to the Deputy Representative for general guidance and direction.
