The GPE Partnership Compact, approved by the GPE Secretariat in April 2024, articulated and elaborated on this priority reform that will serve as the basis for Lesotho's application to access GPE System Transformation Grant (STG).  Currently, the focus for UNICEF Education section is on implementing the activities under the SCG and the Multiplier. How can you make a difference?Under the guidance and general supervision of the Chief, Education, the Education Specialist (GPE Coordination) will support the development and preparation of the Education Programme and will be responsible for managing, implementing, monitoring, evaluating and reporting the progress of education programmes/projects within the Country Programme and contribute to achievement of results according to plans, allocation, results based- management approaches and methodology (RBM), as well as UNICEF's Strategic Plans, standards of performance, and accountability framework.  Summary of Key Functions/Accountabilities:GPE and Quality Education Programme LeadershipGPE Programme Development and PlanningProgramme Management, Monitoring and Quality Control of ResultsAdvisory Services and Technical SupportAdvocacy, Networking and Partnership BuildingInnovation, Knowledge Management and Capacity Building To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have?The following minimum requirements:Education:An advanced university degree (equivalent to a Master's) from an accredited institution is required in education, economics, psychology, sociology or another relevant technical field. *A first University Degree in a relevant field combined with 2 additional years of professional experience may be accepted in lieu of an Advanced University Degree.Work Experience:At least 5 years of relevant work experience in Programme planning, management, and/or research in education is required.  Skills Expertise and knowledge of the field of education with management experience.Excellent communication skills, including writing and oral presentation.Experience leading high-level sector work with government partners.Demonstrated experience successfully leading high?level education initiatives.Leadership experience working with diverse education donor partners.Excellent interpersonal skills.Strong leadership and management skills and experiences.Excellent collaboration with colleagues and partners.Language Requirements:  Fluency in English is required. The following desirables:Experience working in a developing country is considered as an asset.Relevant experience in a UN system agency or organization is considered as an asset.Knowledge of another official UN language (Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian or Spanish) or a local language. For every Child, you demonstrate...UNICEF's Core Values of Care, Respect, Integrity, Trust and Accountability and Sustainability (CRITAS) underpin everything we do and how we do it.

The rights enshrined in the CRC apply equally to all children in a country, including children who are non-nationals or stateless, refugee and international migrant children. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education, social protection, and protection of a society's most disadvantaged residents ? 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.A dedicated focus on children on the move is critical to meet the SDGs commitment to leave no one behind. UNICEF's Strategic Plan (2022-2025) reflects children on the move across Goal Areas and as an important cross-cutting priority, supporting global commitments such as the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and Global Compact on Refugees. The Strategic Plan commits UNICEF to a renewed focus on inclusion of children on the move into education, child protection and social protection systems to tackle root causes for forced displacement or unsafe migration, discrimination and exclusion.

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, Hope Job organizational context:The 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.UNICEF is committed to the vision of a world where everyone, especially children, has access to the care they need, a human right reaffirmed in the 2017 Tokyo Declaration on Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Because UHC includes both access and financial protection, UNICEF is focused on strengthening community health systems and the quality of primary health care. Addressing inequities in health outcomes, strengthening health systems, including emergency preparedness, response and resilience-building, and promoting integrated, multi-sectoral policies and program all remain fundamental to the realization of UHC, and to achieving the SDGs and the goals articulated in UNICEF's Strategy for Health (2016?2030) and the UNICEF Strategic Plan (2022-2025).Digital technologies and improved data capacity are important catalysts for accelerating achievement of the 2030 SDG3 targets. Actionable and relevant data are the foundation to monitor progress toward SDG 2030, while harmonized digital systems optimize the health system to deliver in a coordinated manner, quality, coverage, and equity of health services. Digital systems can catalyze a necessary transformation in the health system - addressing ongoing data gaps and persistent health system challenges, facilitating a more resilient, person-centered, and responsive health system.Digital innovations at community and primary health facility level can be useful for strengthening the linkages with, and use of, formal health services, while also supporting the institutionalization and strengthening of the community health system as a whole. While most countries now have some level of digitalization of their health system functions, countries struggle with the implementation of a large number of pilots which often are not designed for scale, using systems architecture that lacks interoperability, sometimes using non-validated solutions and solutions that are not designed with the users in mind, and which often do not have a sustainable financial or technical support model to allow for scale-up. This has resulted in highly fragmented and uncoordinated implementation of small-scale pilots with many types of tools and software solutions (often targeting the same health workers), not feeding data into health management information systems (HMIS) and not addressing the system problems or Ministry of Health needs.Recognising the diversity of region and the country contexts in which UNICEF operates and reinforcing UNICEF's leadership role in equity programming, Digital Health for the Last Mile is an approach to leveraging the way digital technologies can change how healthcare is delivered in the most underserved parts of the world - both in times of crisis and during times of stability - and thus represents a game changer for national and global approaches to health system strengthening.The Digital Health Specialist will facilitate and support the UNICEF Regional Office for West and Central Africa to coordinate digital health investments at regional and national level, governments and partner level, working in very close collaboration with the WCARO Innovation/T4D team and in liaison with HQ (Digital Health Center of Excellence and Health Programme Group). Specific support includes coordination of readiness assessments, production of digital health investment cases that are embedded with digitally enabled health roadmaps as well as deployments of digital health solutions. The Health Specialist (digital health) will work in close collaboration with the regional and country health, T4D and SBC team, and be expected to leverage their expertise in managing partnerships, plans/strategies, and other resources to actively engage in and support this work on the ground.This temporary position will be located in the UNICEF West and Central Africa Office, Dakar in Senegal.

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.

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, HopeOrganizational Context and Purpose for the jobThe 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.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.

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.
