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 all 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. Purpose for the job: Under the guidance and general supervision of the Education Manager (Level 4) and the overall guidance of the Regional Education Adviser (Level 5), the Specialist provide solid technical assistance, quality assurance and knowledge management to support a) the consolidation of the roll-out of the Learning Passport and other education and technology initiatives in country offices and at a regional level and specially on the children on the move settings; b) the improvement and acceleration of children and adolescent skills (digital, transferable, and job-specific) and transition from school to work in the region, including the implementation of P2E, LP2Action and other digital solutions.

The equitystrategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates thiscommitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have anopportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias orfavoritism. 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 all 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.The Education Commission and the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment came together to create the Education Outcomes Fund (EOF), an initiative to improve the education of 10 million children and young people. EOF aims to pool $1 billion in aid and philanthropic funds, to support governments to pay for results in education and youth employment over the next decade. It will partner with governments around the world to strengthen education systems, harnessing the capacity and capability of partners to improve the effectiveness of expenditure and help deliver on the promise of quality education for all.EOF is hosted by UNICEF. The Fund is administered under UNICEF's financial, human resources and administrative rules and regulations, while operations are run by the Fund's own independent governance structure that provides strategic guidance and oversight to its investments.

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 per cent 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 in 2011.The February 2023 earthquakes have added agony to an already catastrophic situation, increasing the strain on services, causing displacement, and inflicting widespread damage. Many families lost their main breadwinner due to death or injury, at a time when the economic situation was already dire, resulting in millions of people unable to meet their basic needs.In 2024, 16.7 million people needed humanitarian assistance. This is the highest number of people in need ever recorded in Syria since 2011. The number of children in need - more than 6.5 million - has increased by seven per cent in the past year alone. The COVID-19 pandemic, the hike in the price of commodities triggered by the overall global economic situation is further compounding the dire situation.Political transition, economic instability, and security concerns continue to impact recovery efforts.
