Monitoring Specialist (Humanitarian Performance Monitoring and Data Strategy) - P4

Myanmar, Yangon , Yagon

UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.And we never give up.For every child, a fair chance UNICEF MyanmarThe fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does ? in programs, in advocacy and in operations. 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. How can you make a difference?Myanmar has been facing multiple and complex humanitarian crises, and the need for additional capacity has been recognized over the last few years to provide technical support to planning, monitoring and reporting in dynamic humanitarian context. This requires strengthening institutional and staff capacity to support consolidating, validating and analysing the programme data and ensuring an integrated information system. This also require knowledge and considerations for the organizational digital platforms (such as eTools and other platforms) and their implications on the information management systems, as well as their applicability in the sensitive context of Myanmar. It should also be noted that Activity info has been rolled out among the Clusters in 2023, including those that UNICEF leads.

Social Policy Specialist (Social Protection) - P4

Nepal, Bāgmatī , Kathmandu

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. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job ? it is a calling.UNICEF is a place where careers are built: we offer our staff diverse opportunities for personal and professional development that will help them develop a fulfilling career while delivering on a rewarding mission. 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, protectionThe fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does ? in programs, in advocacy and in operations. Eliminating child poverty and ensuring access to social protection has been recognized as a critical priority of Agenda 2030: Access to social protection is a core target of SDG 1 (Elimination of poverty), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), as a core component to ensure that no child is left behind. The full realization of the right of children to 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. UNICEF has clearly articulated its Social Policy and Social Protection priorities and added value towards the Sustainable Development goals in the Strategic Plan 2022-2025, under Goal Area 5 ?Every Child has Access to Inclusive Social Protection and Lives Free of Poverty?.The South Asia region, home to over 26% of the world's children, carries a disproportionate share of deprivations for its children, including malnutrition, lack of access to learning and skills, and harmful practices such as child marriage. Households with children are more likely to be in poverty and many children face multiple deprivations. In addition, the region is vulnerable to crises, including climate related disasters. Over the last years, the impact of COVID-19 and cost-of-living crisis has been devastating. Social protection can support children and their families to meet their basic needs. Social protection can also have a stabilizing effect during crises and prevent shock-induced poverty and greater inequality.UNICEF at all levels has committed itself to supporting governments amid these challenges to achieve inclusive and adaptive social protection to combat child poverty and the multiple deprivations, through analysis, evidence-based advocacy, technical support, and capacity-building support governments.
