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.

Children aged 0-14 is 51% of the total population and 20% for those aged 15-24. Although poverty has declined, inequality persists, as the progress made has been lost owing to a combination of many vulnerabilities. While two thirds of the country is a desert, it also experiences high population growth, accelerating natural disasters, the effects of climate change and significant insecurity in the cross-border regions of the central Sahel.The current country program of UNICEF in Niger is aligned to the UNSDCF and covers the period 2023 – 2027 with the aim at ensuring all girls and boys, from birth through adolescence, survive, thrive, learn, develop to their full potential, are protected from all forms of violence and exploitation, and thus contribute to positive social change in their communities.Niger is also particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, being ranked the second most vulnerable country in the world (ND-GAIN Country Index) and the seventh country where children are most at risk from climate change (UNICEF Children's Climate Risk Index, 2021).Despite efforts to ensure access to water and sanitation for all, progress remains limited, particularly in rural areas and in IDP sites and host communities. According to the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP, 2023), less than 50% of the population has access to basic drinking water, while 66% of the population still practices open defecation, with significant geographical and socio-economic disparities. Access to WASH services in schools and health/nutrition centres is also limited: in 2023, 75% of schools did not have access to safe drinking water, 57% did not have access to sanitation (JMP, 2023), and most schools and health centres did not have handwashing facilities. How can you make a difference?The Chief WASH reports to the Deputy Representative for general guidance and direction.

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. How can you make a difference? The WASH Specialist level 3 GJP is to be used in a Field Office (FO) where the WASH Programme is a major component of the Country Programme (or CCPD).

Terms of ReferenceFollowing an outbreak of violence in Rakhine State in Myanmar on 25th August 2017, in excess of 650,000 Rohingya fled across the border into the Cox's Bazar district of Bangladesh. This influx has more than tripled the existing registered Rohingya population of 212,500, making the total population being hosted in Bangladesh over 890,000, with new arrivals still ongoing. The speed and scale of this influx exhausted the capacity of the two existing refugee camps and overwhelmed both local authorities and existing humanitarian actors present in the area. Arriving refugees settled in a spontaneous and haphazard manner and makeshift shelters mushroomed along roads and on any available land in the Ukhiya and Teknaf areas. The resulting situation and the severe congestion of the area is presenting severe risks and challenges in terms of access to services, protection, public health and physical safety, e.g. flooding, landslides, fire. Many shelters are of poor quality and constructed in a manner inappropriate to withstand natural hazards – in an area which is prone to cyclones and flooding. Improvements are needed to improve access to services, assistance and enhance the protective environment of the site. The strategy implemented by the Government of Bangladesh has been the establishment of one so-called "megasite" which expands the official Kutupalong refugee camp and the Kutupalong and Balukhali makeshift settlements with additional allocated land. This policy makes the Kutupalong extension the world's largest refugee camp in terms of population numbers, but geographically it covers a fraction of the area (approx. 12 km2) of other sizeable camps. The first three years after the influx much of the focus of humanitarian actors has been implementation of mitigating measures to avert major disasters during the yearly monsoon and cyclone seasons. A medium- to long-term perspective needs to be maintained, given the assumption that the settlements in Ukhiya and Teknaf that are being managed by UNHCR & others together with their partners, will remain in existence for several years to come. In this context, it is extremely important that these settlements be improved in terms of overall settlement planning; location, delivery and management of basic services; living conditions including public space; and disaster risk reduction. At the same time, the needs of the host communities, particularly in areas where they are living in mixed settlements or in close proximity to the camps, must also be addressed. UNHCR has over the past three years constructed a wide range of buildings and site-infrastructure through direct implementation using contractors, both with in-house design and with consultants. This position is planned to lead a construction team with 5-8 national engineers. The team will ensure a technically professional and efficient implementation of construction projects such as Health facilities, Learning centres, Distribution centres and facilities for security forces. In addition, the team will ensure construction of roads, bridges, canals and soil-retention structures.Essential- Knowledge of SPHERE standards and the ability to use basic survey equipment, digital cameras, and computer equipment. - Hands-on technical support including experience in assistance delivery in emergencies and relief operations. - Knowledge of computer graphics, AutoCAD and mapping software as well as the capacity to use mapping tools (GPS), and digital photographic equipment, and related software (map info etc.). - Knowledge of 3D Visualization software, 3D Max, Maya, Cinema 4D is desirable. Desirable- Knowledge of UNHCR system and operating modality.

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. As emergencies become more frequent, the expectations of UNICEF to deliver on the Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action (CCCs) in a timely and effective manner will continue to increase.  Emergency preparedness significantly enhances UNICEF's ability to meet these expectations and save time and resources in the response. In 2018 EMOPS created the Risk Analysis and Preparedness Section to bring together organizational elements focused on ensuring that UNICEF is prepared and ready to respond to all forms of hazard and threats that could create humanitarian needs for children and those who care for them, and/or affect humanitarian operations.

Despite this unprecedented progress, the burden of poor child nutrition and development is increasing in Lebanon due to the protracted refugee and economic crisis. Children under five years of age in the most deprived areas are not growing and developing well because of poor care, malnutrition – undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight – and three in four children are living in food poverty, without the minimum diet they need to grow healthy. This's while 30 to 40 per cent of school age children and adolescents (specially girls), are affected by obesity and or anemia. One of the main drivers of this is extremely poor dietary patterns of children and adolescents; 70% of children are deprived of the best start in life (Exclusive breast-feeding) and 3 in 4 children under age 5 experienced child food poverty, which means their diets included only four food groups at most. Even more alarmingly, over 1 in 4 children under age 5 live in severe food poverty, meaning, the diets of 85,000 Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian refugees' children, include at most two food groups, a few spoonsful of porridge and a small cup of milk may be their only meal of the day, every day, leaving them highly vulnerable to severe stunting and wasting – the most life-threatening forms of undernutrition in early childhood.Following the Beirut Blast in 2020, Nutrition was initially coordinated as a task force under the Food Security Sector. Recognizing the need for a dedicated platform to address the worsening nutritional status driven by poverty, inflation, and multiple emergencies, the HCT established Nutrition as a standalone sector in October 2020, in alignment with Global Nutrition Cluster recommendations.The Nutrition Sector Coordinator will provide leadership on behalf of UNICEF, the Lead Agency of the Nutrition Sector, ensuring clear roles, accountability, and strengthened partnerships among NGOs, UN agencies, and governmental institutions. Supporting national and sub-national coordination teams, the coordinator will enhance the effectiveness of humanitarian responses, aligning with global standards and the IASC Cluster Coordination framework.Furthermore, UNICEF is committed to support humanitarian coordination through the sector approach. Introduced as part of the humanitarian reform, the sector approach, aims at ensuring clear leadership, predictability and accountability in international responses to humanitarian emergencies by clarifying the division of labor among organizations and better defining their roles and responsibilities within the different sectors involved in the response.A well-run Sector/ Working Group coordination team is a formal deliverable of the Sector Lead Agency and forms a part of the agency's work. How can you make a difference? Under the overall direction and guidance of the Chief Field Operations, the Nutrition Specialist Sector Coordinator will provide leadership and representation of the Sector/Working Group at national level and Beirut Mount Lebanon Subnational coordination.  They will facilitate the processes that will ensure a well-coordinated, strategic, adequate, coherent, and effective response by participants in the national Sector/ Working Group that is accountable to those who are affected by the emergency.

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, as well as within institutional systems and processes, with clear indicators and monitoring mechanisms to track change. 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.   UNICEF has launched an Adolescent Girls' Programme Strategy which aims to accelerate action against these commitments, and articulates a vision for moving forwards, with and for adolescent girls', to deliver multi-faceted, girl-targeted programming, working in partnership with other partners, especially girl-led and girl-focused organisations. Girls' voice, agency and empowerment is at the core of the strategy.  Much progress has been made in implementing this new strategy, with millions of adolescent girls reached through under the pilot programmes under the POWER4Girls Initiative umbrella; a new Global Girl Leaders Advisory Group launched; a new Adolescent Girls' Data Portal; new research programmes kickstarted, and more. But more is needed to spearhead and institutionalize focused work on adolescent girls rights in a holistic way.   How can you make a difference?UNICEF is seeking a passionate Monitoring & Evaluation Specialist to drive evidence and learning in support of adolescent girls' well-being and empowerment.

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, as well as within institutional systems and processes, with clear indicators and monitoring mechanisms to track change. 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. UNICEF has launched an Adolescent Girls' Programme Strategy which aims to accelerate action against these commitments, and articulates a vision for moving forwards, with and for adolescent girls', to deliver multi-faceted, girl-targeted programming, working in partnership with other partners, especially girl-led and girl-focused organisations. Girls' voice, agency and empowerment is at the core of the strategy.Much progress has been made in implementing this new strategy, with millions of adolescent girls reached through under the pilot programmes under the POWER4Girls Initiative umbrella; a new Global Girl Leaders Advisory Group launched; a new Adolescent Girls' Data Portal; new research programmes kickstarted, and more. But more is needed to spearhead and institutionalize focused work on adolescent girls rights in a holistic way. How can you make a difference?UNICEF is seeking an Adolescent Girls' Programme Specialist to play a pivotal role in advancing its Gender Action Plan and Adolescent Girls' Programme Strategy.

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, as well as within institutional systems and processes, with clear indicators and monitoring mechanisms to track change. 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. UNICEF has launched an Adolescent Girls' Programme Strategy which aims to accelerate action against these commitments, and articulates a vision for moving forwards, with and for adolescent girls', to deliver multi-faceted, girl-targeted programming, working in partnership with other partners, especially girl-led and girl-focused organisations. Girls' voice, agency and empowerment is at the core of the strategy.Much progress has been made in implementing this new strategy, with millions of adolescent girls reached through under the pilot programmes under the POWER4Girls Initiative umbrella; a new Global Girl Leaders Advisory Group launched; a new Adolescent Girls' Data Portal; new research programmes kickstarted, and more.

During the past decades, pre- financing interventions became instrumental in supporting countries in securing access as demand for these health supplies surged in low, middle and  high income countries in the context of the COVID-19 Emergency, other public health emergencies and emerging needs.

Timely access requires good forecasting, planning, and adequate budgeting, financing, and execution on that financing. However, funding delays, market constraints, and other factors jeopardize systematic access and are a leading cause of commodity stockouts in countries. . The position will lead the deployment of pre-financing interventions to help bridge these short-term funding gaps and deploy risk financing to improve access and market dynamics of these supply of critical essential commodities supplies.

Schools have the potential to be transformative in promoting positive social norms and gender equality. But for too many girls and boys around the world, school is a place of violence and fear. Physical, sexual and psychological violence in and around schools affects children and young people everywhere. Violence is often a result of unequal gender and power dynamics. Girls and boys experience different forms of violence. Girls are more likely to experience psychological bullying, sexual violence and harassment; boys more likely to experience corporal punishment and physical violence. Disabled children are more often three times as likely as their peers to suffer physical violence in schools, and girls with disabilities are up to three times at greater risk of rape.Violence hampers learning and is detrimental to children's well-being. It decreases self-esteem, reduces attendance, lowers grades, and leads many children to drop out of school altogether. Whether sexual exploitation for grades, corporal punishment in the classroom or bullying and harassment, all forms of violence in schools can and must be prevented. It is both the right and the smart thing to do ? morally, socially and economically ? as it enhances a child's chances of staying in school, increases their ability to fulfil their potential and breaks the cycle of violence.Safe to Learn is a global initiative launched in 2019 to catalyse commitments and evidence-based action to end violence in and through schools by 2030. It works to improve learning outcomes and better leverage investments in education towards violence prevention and response. Safe to Learn brings together a powerful coalition of partners (currently 14) from education, child protection, health, gender, and social and behaviour change. Together, Safe to Learn partners leverage each other's strengths and unique expertise to ensure that every child can learn safely.The Safe to Learn programme is managed and implemented from the Global Education and Adolescent Development and Participation section with UNICEF Headquarters. How can you make a difference?Join our dynamic team as a key contributor to UNICEF's humanitarian efforts!

An explicit requirement to measure and monitor multidimensional child poverty is included under SDG 1.1.2, and similarly, the need to accelerate progress around public spending for poverty reduction under SDG 1.a.2, and SDG 1.b.1 for which UNICEF has recently become a custodian. The effective scale-up of social protection, with a specific attention to children, is included as part of ensuring access to social protection, a core target of SDG 1 (Elimination of poverty), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). Moreover, social protection is also an accelerator for multiple other goals. Addressing the multiple and compounding deprivations experienced by children requires an explicit commitment to understand their drivers and to scale-up comprehensive strategies to address them. The full realization of the right of children of access to social protection and adequate standard of living will not only ensure that every child lives free of poverty but also prevent those at risk or vulnerable to poverty due to exclusion and discrimination, or facing environmental and conflict-related risks, from falling into poverty.Reducing child poverty, enhancing access to gender-transformative, and inclusive social protection, promoting efficiency, transparency and equity of financing, while strengthening capacities at subnational level, including in urban contexts, is critical.

It has long been a center of trade and commerce and link between neighboring countries. The country has significant natural resource endowments, including vast arable lands, water, forests, minerals, and precious metals.Sudan's history has been marked by coups, political instability, and conflict, which is hindering socio-economic development gains.The last five years were marked by several rapid political changes. Despite the efforts to shield Sudan's poor from the effects of the economic adjustments, Sudan's economic crisis worsened over time, exacerbated by the effects of COVID-19. In April 2023 the situation escalated further into open violent conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), reactivating over time also prior fault lines in different parts of the country. With the state of the economy already precarious, exacerbated by social unrest, shortages of basic services and livelihood inputs, and freezing of foreign assistance, the military conflict risks pushing the country into a state of collapse.Fighting between the RSF and the SAF in various states as well as heavy clashes in Khartoum and other urban areas has led to significant displacement of millions of people, both internally and across the border into neighboring countries. Approaching a year of conflict, almost all schools across the country remain closed.UN entities are working with international and national NGOs to address the immediate needs. Basic services across Sudan have been characterized by weak capacity for delivery, low levels of public expenditure, shortage of qualified personnel, and inadequate infrastructure; further strained by the conflict, including pressure by displaced populations.UNICEF is responding to the crisis by providing integrated Health, Nutrition, WASH, Education, Child Protection, and Cash assistance. While much of the response is focused on humanitarian interventions UNICEF and other partners are also aiming to build on Sudan's strong community- based organizations, and lessons learned from other projects, to provide sustainable community led basic services. How can you make a difference? III.

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.

UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children's lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do.

We pride ourselves on a culture that helps staff thrive, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package.Visit our website to learn more about what we do at UNICEF. For every child, ... a championEvery child has the right to an education in a protective environment so that they can learn, grow and develop the skills, and confidence they need to lead healthy and productive lives. Schools have the potential to be transformative in promoting positive social norms and gender equality. But for too many girls and boys around the world, school is a place of violence and fear. Physical, sexual and psychological violence in and around schools affects children and young people everywhere. Violence is often a result of unequal gender and power dynamics. Girls and boys experience different forms of violence. Girls are more likely to experience psychological bullying, sexual violence and harassment; boys more likely to experience corporal punishment and physical violence. Disabled children are more often three times as likely as their peers to suffer physical violence in schools, and girls with disabilities are up to three times at greater risk of rape.Violence hampers learning and is detrimental to children's well-being. It decreases self-esteem, reduces attendance, lowers grades, and leads many children to drop out of school altogether. Whether sexual exploitation for grades, corporal punishment in the classroom or bullying and harassment, all forms of violence in schools can and must be prevented. It is both the right and the smart thing to do – morally, socially and economically – as it enhances a child's chances of staying in school, increases their ability to fulfil their potential and breaks the cycle of violence.Safe to Learn is a global initiative launched in 2019 to catalyse commitments and evidence-based action to end violence in and through schools by 2030. It works to improve learning outcomes and better leverage investments in education towards violence prevention and response. Safe to Learn brings together a powerful coalition of partners (currently 14) from education, child protection, health, gender, and social and behaviour change. Together, Safe to Learn partners leverage each other's strengths and unique expertise to ensure that every child can learn safely.The Safe to Learn programme is managed and implemented from the Global Education and Adolescent Development and Participation section with UNICEF Headquarters. How can you make a difference?The Safe to Learn initiative focuses on creating safe, inclusive, and equitable learning environments by preventing violence, bullying, and discrimination in educational settings, while promoting gender-transformative education. Serving as a catalyst for inclusive education, the initiative is supported by the Safe to Learn Secretariat, which provides coordination, technical guidance, and knowledge management for stakeholders. Reporting to the Senior Adviser (Management, Advocacy, and Partnerships), the Programme Manager will play a pivotal role in implementing Safe to Learn initiatives, developing strategies to end violence in and around schools, coordinating partners, managing knowledge and research, and influencing global policy to advance safe and inclusive learning environments. To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have to...The Programme Manager for Safe to Learn is responsible for strategic leadership, programme development, and implementation to address violence in schools and foster safe learning environments.

The role entails mobilizing and managing grants, while ensuring coherence and effectiveness in collaboration with stakeholders. The manager provides technical guidance to country offices, regional offices, and partners, develops resources like toolkits and training materials, and contributes to policy development and capacity building at country levels. Advocacy and networking are key components, involving engagement with governments, donors, UN agencies, and NGOs to promote safe learning environments and secure sustainable partnerships.Additionally, the Programme Manager focuses on innovation, knowledge management, and capacity building to institutionalize best practices and ensure cutting-edge approaches are applied in tackling violence in schools. This includes organizing global and regional training initiatives, disseminating lessons learned, and driving sustainable interventions. The role also involves rigorous management, monitoring, and reporting, such as supervising staff, establishing work plans, managing resources efficiently, and evaluating programme impacts to refine strategies.

UNICEF has spent nearly 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families. Working with and for children through adolescence and into adulthood requires a global presence whose goal is to produce results and monitor their effects. UNICEF also lobbies and partners with leaders, thinkers and policy makers to help all children realize their rightsespecially the most disadvantaged.Guinea is a lower-middle-income country facing significant challenges in child development and deprivation. According to the latest Human Development Index (HDI) report, Guinea has an HDI of 0.480, ranking 178th out of 191 countries in 2023, reflecting its ongoing struggle with poverty and social development challenges. Since 1984, UNICEF has worked with the government and various partners, including UN agencies, NGOs, and community-based organizations, to improve conditions for children.The population of Guinea is estimated to be around 14.3 million in 2024, with 63.4% living in rural areas and women comprising approximately 50.3% of the population. The annual growth rate stands at about 2.8%. Children under the age of 18 make up roughly 51% of the population, highlighting the critical need for child-focused interventions ​(World Population Review)The vision of the 2024-2028 country programme is: "A Guinea where children, especially adolescent girls and children from the most vulnerable families in the most disadvantaged geographical areas, have equitable opportunities for sustainable access to essential social services and quality social protection, and can reach their full potential, including in a context of climate-related vulnerabilities and emergencies".Currently, Guinea faces several humanitarian and emergency situations with multiple health crises, including outbreaks of diseases such as poliovirus, diphtheria, yellow fever, and Lassa fever. The country is particularly vulnerable to health shocks due to weak healthcare infrastructure.
