Essentially desert, the country has a low population density, with four inhabitants per square kilometer. Its population of 4.78 million is very young (about 52 per cent are under 19 years of age and 75 per cent under 35 years of age) and the majority (56 per cent1) lives in the country's major cities. The country, which has one of the largest refugee camps in the Sahel, is still experiencing the effects of the crisis in the subregion.Despite the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the crisis in Ukraine, Mauritania has been able to revive its economy and pursue its development objectives as defined in the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Shared Prosperity (SCAPP) 2016–2030 and the President's Expanded Priority Program, September 2020. Following contractions in 2020, economic growth has accelerated and was expected to reach 5.3 per cent in 2022.The country is not yet able to create enough jobs, especially for youth, nor to ensure redistributive growth and equitable access to public services. The poverty rate remains high (28.2 per cent in 2020), especially in rural areas (41.2 per cent, compared with 14.4 per cent in urban areas). Nearly 56.9 per cent of the population live below the multidimensional poverty line. Children are the poorest age group, with a 31 per cent rate of monetary poverty and an estimated 61.9 per cent rate of multidimensional poverty. Thirty-six per cent of 14–19-year-olds and 44 per cent of 20–24-year-olds are not in education, employment or training. There are still significant disparities between urban and rural areas, between rich and poor areas, and between regions.The 2024-2027 Country Program Management Plan (CPMP) considers (i) the results and trends of the updated analysis of the situation of children, (ii) the lessons learned from implementation of the 2018-2022 cooperation program and UNDAF (2018-2022), (iii) the main programmatic and managerial risks, and (iv) the estimated resources and means required to implement and achieve the strategies, objectives and results formulated. The new cooperation program cycle for Mauritania (2024-2027) is a real opportunity to induce the adjustments and prioritizations needed to continue unfinished work, consolidate achievements, and take up new challenges and those insufficiently considered for the realization of children's rights in line with the acceleration of the SDGs. To this end, the country program will contribute to achieving the priorities of the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Shared Prosperity (SCAPP) and the UNSDCF 2024-2027. It will pay particular attention to the equity dimension and the reduction of inequalities and discrimination and will contribute to national efforts to (i) localize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), (ii) take into account the recommendations of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), and (iii) the concluding observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child and the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. How can you make a difference? The Deputy Representative reports to the CO Representative for general supervision and direction.

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 impact of the earthquakes in 2023 and 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? By ensuring programmes are effectively monitored and reported, the Monitoring Officer will help optimize resources and improve outcomes for children of Syria.

UNICEF co-leads the further elaboration and results in developing the Human Capital Development strategic priority. The intent of the UNICEF CPD 2024-2028 is fully aligned with these priorities, which are also directly linked to the pillars of Malawi Vision 2063, and the Malawi Implementation Plan (MIP, 2030). To this extent, UNICEF's strategy for the CPD includes Child Survival and Development (Health, Nutrition and WASH), Education, Learning and Child Protection, Social Policy (Social Protection and Public Finance for Children), Gender Equality, Inclusion, and Innovation within a robust evidence-informed environment. These are focus areas under the Human Capital Development Enabler of the MIP (2030). The Country Programme envisages the progressive fulfilment of the rights to survival, development, education, protection and participation of all children, including adolescents, especially the most vulnerable and those at risk of being left behind, in an inclusive, resilient and protective environment. Besides Malawi's 2063 vision and 2021–2030 implementation plan (MIP), the African Union's Agenda 2063; UNICEF's Strategic Plan, Gender Action Plan III, Innovation Strategy; and the SDGs.

On the Gender Equality lens, UNICEF's Office of Innovation and Gender Programme Group have identified key solutions connecting gender and technology for every girl to thrive, and benefit from skills, tools, policies, programmes, opportunities and access to innovation and technology in order for them to become the architects of tomorrow's digital world. This particular TA post will be situated under the Gender Equality lens of the portfolio and specifically under pillar 2 of Game Changers Coalition working on integrating the UNICEF Responsible Innovation in Technology (RITEC) learnings into the Coalition's work while amplifying its reach, its engagement and its advocacy footprint.Game Changers CoalitionThe Game Changers Coalition convenes strategic stakeholders with a shared passion to close the gender gap in the tech and gaming industries and in girls' Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) skills. Through the Coalition, UNICEF is teaming up with private companies, civil society organizations, governments and young leaders to equip and empower the largest generation of 600 million adolescent girls with the 21st century skills they want and need to become the future leaders, coders, and designers of a more inclusive, diverse, and secure digital future for all of us. The Coalition operates on three pillars:Pillar 1: Build her Foundation Pillar 2: Build the GamePillar 3: Build the Global Network How can you make a difference?? This role will support the Pillar 2 of the Game Changers Coalition under the supervision of the Innovation Manager (GE, Adolescents & Youth Portfolio). The curriculum design, delivery and overall experimentation and pilot phase of the Game Changers Coalition, under Pillar 1, is already completed, and the GCC is now entering its scaling phase where Pillars 2 and 3 are going to be at the forefront and pillar 1 will develop an online version of the curriculum. The successful candidate will act as the focal point for the RITEC design work and will ensure timely and quality delivery of the initiative to prepare the draft of a new proposal to the Lego Foundation after the six-month period of the TA will run out (for example with recommendations, principles design development/ adaptation/ enhancement/ upgrade, training material and monitoring and evaluation tools and initial draft of content).If you love designing, playing, learning but also planning long term change and creating engaging and meaningful industry transformations, this TA is for you. We expect that you will ensure the latest design techniques and technologies are incorporated into the work of Game Changers Coalition Pillar 2 and are adapted to adolescent girls' needs in particular but also to diversity and inclusion for all youth of all gender all across the world.The post will be an integral function to the conception and delivery of innovative and fast-moving initiatives in the realm of responsible technology for children, involving collaboration with a broad variety of stakeholders and partners. Under the supervision of Innovation Manager (GE, Adolescents & Youth Portfolio), the Programme Specialist will play a pivotal role in Building Pillar 2 of Game Changers Coalition to become an undeniable part of UNICEF's global influencing and advocacy efforts on children's well-being and digital play, furthering UNICEF-led research findings under the Responsible Innovation in Technology (RITEC) project. The Programme Specialist will also have to complete additional duties in relation to supporting existing workstreams on promoting child rights and well-being in online video games.The Programme Specialist will have the duty to amplify Game Changers Coalition industry tools and resources, primarily the RITEC Design Toolkit, knowledge management activities and trainings, including internal communication, and grant reporting on the achievement of concrete and sustainable contributions to national and international efforts to create a digital environment that both respects children's rights and supports their well-being. SCOPE OF WORKThe UNICEF's Office of Innovation is welcoming the RITEC research under Game Changers Coalition Pillar 2 and the scope of work of this TA will be to connect and amplify RITEC work as part of the broader Game Changers Coalition agenda. New research from UNICEF Innocenti and produced in partnership with the University of Sheffield, New York University, City University New York and the Queensland University of Technology explores the question: can video games contribute to the well-being of children and, if so, how? This research looked to the voices of the young, based on the scientific study of hundreds of children in six countries over many months. The research found something remarkable: digital games can indeed contribute to the well-being of children. They can allow children to experience a sense of control, to have freedom of choice, to experience mastery and feelings of achievement. Digital games can support children in experiencing and regulating emotions and help them feel connected to others and manage social connections. Children can imagine different possibilities, act on original ideas, make things, and explore, construct and express facets of themselves and others with the help of digital games. But in order to support children and contribute to their well-being, games must be designed with their well-being in mind. This research was produced as part of the Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children (RITEC) project. This project was co-founded with the LEGO Group and funded by the LEGO Foundation and aims to create practical tools for businesses and governments that will empower them to put the well-being of children at the center of digital design. The research forms the basis of RITEC's second report. The first report, released in 2022, revealed a newly developed well-being framework for children. Made up of eight child-centric well-being outcomes, the framework is a first step towards helping tech developers and policymakers develop a common understanding of how digital experiences can positively influence aspects of child well-being. Given these results, the TA will work on integrating the research outcomes into an implementation plan for a new proposal to the Lego Foundation and into concrete recommendation for next steps with the existing partnership of Game Changers Coalition with the Global Video Games Coalition GVGC.Summary of key functions/accountabilities:RITEC Design Toolkit amplification and engagementCapacity building and knowledge exchange for Game Changers Coalition Pillar 2, including RITECAwareness raising and advocacyUNICEF is dedicated to providing flexible, and family-friendly work environment that enables staff to effectively balance their personal and professional lives.

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? The Chief, Health 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.

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.

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. Background:Ukraine is facing escalating poverty and inequality due to the ongoing conflict and its severe socioeconomic impacts. Pre-existing demographic and structural challenges have been compounded by the war, disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups such as women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons, and internally displaced persons (IDPs). This has intensified the need for comprehensive social sector reforms to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Ukraine's social protection system, strengthen its capacity to support vulnerable populations, and promote economic growth and social cohesion.The Government of Ukraine has prioritized social protection reform in its recovery plan, supported by the UN Transitional Framework and the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF). These reforms aim to establish a more coherent, flexible, and responsive system capable of addressing both immediate needs and long-term structural challenges. UNICEF has been a key partner in these efforts, providing technical and financial support, and leading the Social Protection Reform Office under the Ministry of Social Policy (MoSP) to drive reforms and coordinate efforts with other stakeholders.Recognizing the importance of strengthening social protection systems, the UK government has launched the SPIRIT programme to support more inclusive, effective, and efficient social systems and services - laying the foundations for longer-term reform and recovery aligned with Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic aspirations.

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.Background:Ukraine is facing escalating poverty and inequality due to the ongoing conflict and its severe socioeconomic impacts.
