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 champion  Early Childhood Development (ECD) refers to the development of children's physical, motor, language, cognitive, and social-emotional fields from pregnancy to 8 years old. The most important stage is from pregnancy to 3 years old because the brain develops most rapidly during this period, with 80% of the adult brain weight developed during this stage. It not only determines the individual's own development potential but also determines the competitiveness of human capital at the national level. In China, nearly 17 million children under 5 years old are unable to reach their full potential, and at risk of early developmental delays and disability. Children in disadvantaged areas are particularly at risk of deprivation of healthcare access, early learning, welfare and protection. UNICEF believes that young children benefit most when the family plays full role in supporting ECD of children between age of 0-3. Enabling parents to provide sufficient nurturing care to their children calls for a wide range of policies and support from both the public and private sectors. In country programme of 2021-2025, UNICEF is working with partners to increase investment in ECD care, promote parents' knowledge, attitude and practices in ECD, and encourage governments to enact policies to support ECD for children through multi-modalities. UNICEF is now working together with National Health Commission, National Working Committee on Children and Women under State Council and National Rural Revitalization Administration in a National ECD Scaling-Up Programme to expand access to ECD for children aged 0-3, focusing on the frontline health facilities and providers' capacities strengthening, to enhance parents and caregivers' knowledge and skills in nurturing care for young children aged 0-3. This progreamme is now being implemented in 30 provinces in China. Besides this, there are also other ECD programmes within various teams or sections. Recognizing the multi-disciplinary nature of ECD and the integral role of each section in UNICEF China office, a cross-sectoral ECD working group has been established to support the efficient implementation of country programmes and priorities related to ECD, ensuring the expected impact is achieved.

UNICEF provides financial and technical support to Cameroon across seven areas to fully realize the rights of women and children. These areas include Health, HIV/AIDS, Water-sanitation-Hygiene, nutrition, education, child protection, and social inclusion. UNICEF focuses mainly on children and the most vulnerable and excluded families. The task is immense but not insurmountable; it requires the energy of all stakeholders in Cameroon and outside of Cameroon: also, women, men, youth and children, government, technical and financial partners, donors, civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians, communities. Everyone is invited to participate in the struggle to meet the challenges ahead. Together, we will act for Cameroon, a country that summarizes the challenges and hopes of Africa.To learn more about UNICEF Cameroon, use the below: How can you make a difference?The Chief WASH in Cameroon 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.

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.Gender equality is essential to realizing the mandate of UNICEF to uphold the rights of all children. 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 programs and workplaces. The GAP also sets out specific targets for adolescent girls, with an accompanying Adolescent Girls' Program Strategy to accelerate actions with and for adolescent girls.Job organizational context:The UNICEF Regional Office for West and Central Africa is an adolescent girls' rights specialist to provide critical support for the accelerated implementation of the adolescent girls' portfolio.The Regional Office for West and Central Africa (WCARO) is based in Dakar, Senegal and covers 25 countries in a region that bridges development and humanitarian contexts. It is estimated that 196 million adolescents and young people (aged 10-24 years) live, learn, overcome challenges and contribute to their communities in Western and Central Africa (WCA). Of this group, 70 million are adolescent girls (10-19 years), of whom 45 million live in the Sahel. Adolescent girls and boys live ? and die prematurely - in contexts rife with gender inequalities that contribute to high levels of child marriage, adolescent pregnancy, lower learning outcomes, reduced access to basic hygiene services and a plethora of challenges to access quality, age-appropriate and gender-responsive services when and where girls need them. Despite these challenges, adolescent girls, as well as boys and young people, demand to be meaningfully engaged in decisions that affect their lives and to be part of the solution in their communities.The Region has placed a high priority on adolescent girls, within the context of regional challenges and in line with the GAP, recognizing that the multidimensional nature of risk factors girls face requires a multisectoral and multidimensional response that not only addresses the vulnerabilities they face but amplifies their agency. A five-pillar girl-intentional approach is guiding the Region's localization of UNICEF's Global Adolescent Girls Program Strategy by: a) placing adolescent girls at the center of policymaking and programming; b) addressing the barriers for adolescent girls to safely access quality services when and where they need them; c) transforming gender norms that hold adolescent girls back, e) partnering with girl-focused organizations, and e) generating and using evidence on girls' rights, agency and leadership. How can you make a difference?Purpose for the job: The Adolescent Girls' Rights Specialist will provide technical support around the implementation and follow up to the WCAR Girl-Intentional Approach to both UNICEF country offices and regional office sectors, with a principal focus on the Sahel, including the five Sahelian countries implementing the Building Resilience in the Sahel (BRS) Programme. S/he will also play a role in working with adolescent and gender specialists or focal points across the 24 country offices, and regional sectors such as Education, Child Protection, Health, WASH, Nutrition, Climate, Gender, Social and Behavioral Change, Emergencies and other enablers to ensure office-wide contributions to the WCA Adolescent Girls' Agenda, and the broader Resilience Agenda. A portion of her/his time will contribute to regional programming around adolescent and youth engagement, applicable within and outside of the Sahel, towards strengthening enabling environments and resilience-building and supporting adolescents and young people to be changemakers at local and national levels. Key functions, accountabilities and related duties/tasksSummary of key functions/accountabilities:1.

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.UNICEF started operation in Cambodia in 1952 and opened first country office in 1973 in Phnom Penh.

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 in 2011.The February 2023 earthquakes in north Syria and Türkiye 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 need humanitarian assistance[1]. 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. This is largely due the ongoing conflict, continued displacements, the unprecedented economic crisis, deepening poverty, and unemployment. The COVID-19 pandemic, the hike in price of commodities triggered by the overall global economic situation and the impact of sanctions are further compounding the dire situation.For information of the work of our organization, please visit our website: UNICEF Syria   How can you make a difference?Under the direct supervision of the Chief Field Operations, and matrix functional supervision of the Chief PME, you will support planning, monitoring, and reporting (PMR) through strengthening the linkages between field offices, programmes and the Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) section, towards improving field office performance in terms of funds management, partnership management and monitoring, and the monthly result tracking of the Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) and Annual Plans (AP).You are also expected to support national sector coordinators with reporting requirement including quarterly advocacy notes and donor reporting.

In response to these challenges, the office has grown exponentially in staff number and allocated budget, and three new field offices were created, under a complex programmatic context to respond to humanitarian needs while maintaining a high level of advocacy and system strengthening at the federal and state levels. Given this context, we are reinforcing our capacity for humanitarian preparedness and response, management, planning, and implementation in the field.

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, Education.Education Cannot Wait (ECW) is the Global Fund for Education in Emergencies and Protracted Crises. We support quality education outcomes for refugee, internally displaced and other crisis-affected girls and boys, so no one is left behind. ECW works through the multilateral system to both increase the speed of responses in crises and connect immediate relief and longer-term interventions through multi-year programming. ECW works in close partnership with governments, public and private donors, UN agencies, civil society organizations, and other humanitarian and development aid actors to increase efficiencies and end siloed responses. ECW urgently appeals to public and private sector donors for expanded support to reach even more vulnerable children and youth. ECW is a UNICEF hosted fund, administered under UNICEF's financial, human resources and administrative rules and regulations; operations are run by the Fund's own independent governance structure.In its current Strategic Plan 2023-2026, ECW has made bold commitments in response to the climate crisis. These commitments cut across all of ECW's work, spanning our programming, advocacy, funding, and operations. ECW has committed, for example, to: advocating for the endorsement of the revised Comprehensive School Safety Framework 2022–2030 (to which it has now become a signatory); ensuring country level education investments are more climate-responsive and climate-smart; exploring accessing and distributing climate finance and; setting organizational emission reduction targets in line with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. How can you make a difference? ECW is recruiting a new Climate Intern to help us deliver on our climate commitments.

This will include identifying communications and advocacy opportunities, taking notes of key quotes, sharing content with communications team, and supporting the development of briefing documents.Partnerships and finance: Support the climate consultant and the strategic planning consultant to ensure the smooth running of Climate Acceleration Facility grants.
