Our goal is to ensure that all of our children survive, thrive and fulfill their vast potential. In a world that is rapidly changing, children are faced with complex challenges and unprecedented opportunities. UNICEF's programs are designed to reach and benefit all children so that they can withstand these challenges, leverage these opportunities and be the drivers of their own destiny. UNICEF is committed to creating a country in which every child is free to learn, play and grow. Our programs work towards providing all children in Sri Lanka with shelter, nutrition, protection and education, wherever they may be. We strive to create communities in which children can live with dignity and hope, free from discrimination, violence and fear. We make every effort to create and maintain environments that will enable and empower children to be the very best that they can be. In this way, all children will not only benefit from economic and social growth but will become the driving force behind sustainable national development.

From achieving Universal Child Immunization (1989) to establishing The National Child Protection Authority (1998) to providing decades of crucial relief in the wake of devastating conflict and natural disaster, UNICEF has played a pivotal role in creating an environment in which children have the best chance to survive and thrive. Yet, many challenges still exist, especially for the most vulnerable. Some national and regional bodies require resources and reinvigoration. Individuals and institutions need to be strengthened, coordinated and aligned with global standards so that children enjoy support in their schools, communities and homes to help them overcome challenges and unleash their full potential into the world. Due to our long-standing reputation as an experienced, neutral and collaborative partner, UNICEF is ideally suited to drive these efforts.

Chief Field Office - P4

Democratic Republic of Congo, Katanga, Lubumbashi - UNICEF

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](https://www.unicef.org/) to learn more about what we do at UNICEF. For every child, Hope The Democratic Republic of Congo continues to face complex humanitarian and development challenges, including conflict-induced displacement, disease outbreaks, and protection risks, particularly in the Eastern Province province. As part of its commitment to delivering results for children, the field offices in Lubumbashi and Mbandaka strategically positioned UNICEF to coordinate the response, development programming, and system strengthening initiatives in these regions. The Lubumbashi office covers three provinces: Haut Katanga, Lualaba and Haut Lomami which resulted from the dismemberment of the former province of Katanga, face multiple humanitarian, social and economic challenges. The humanitarian situation remains worrying due to multiple, interconnected factors inter-community conflicts, notably linked to migration and land dynamics, affect these provinces; violence has led to an influx of internally displaced people (IDPs), as well as movements of returnee populations, often without access to basic services. This demographic instability complicates reintegration and rehabilitation efforts. Serious cases of human rights violations have been documented, including sexual violence, arbitrary arrests and, above all, the problem of child labor in the mines, as this is a mining area par excellence. It should also be noted that, despite the supposed wealth of these provinces, they suffer from recurrent epidemics of infectious diseases such as measles and cholera. The health system remains fragile, marked by a shortage of qualified human resources, equipment and health infrastructures, aggravating morbidity and mortality. A significant number of children remain outside the school system, due to a lack of infrastructure and trained teachers, but also to the fact that entire families prefer to engage in artisanal mining instead of sending their children to school. Despite their natural resource potential, the provinces face a fragile economic fabric, characterized by low foreign investment, limited access to credit and widespread poverty. Conflicts and weak governance of public services exacerbate these difficulties. Mbandaka is the provincial capital and a port city in Equateur and covers the provinces of North Ubangi, South Ubangi, Mongala, Tshuapa and Equateur. These provinces are recognized as endemic areas for several tropical diseases and have always been specific surveillance zones for UNICEF. Following an equity analysis carried out towards the end of 2023, UNICEF planned to reorganize its presence in DR Congo. In addition, as a result of the Future Focus Initiative process, the Mbandaka field office will be closed on 31 December 2025. How can you make a difference?  Scope of Work and Key Responsibilities A. Strategic Leadership and Representation - Represent UNICEF in the three provinces and engage with government authorities, UN agencies, NGOs, donors, and local stakeholders. - Lead strategic and programmatic discussions to advance the rights and well-being of children and women. - Ensure the safety and security of UNICEF personnel and assets in accordance with UN security protocols.

Programme Management and Delivery - Lead the development, planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of UNICEF programmes. - Oversee and ensure the effective use of programme funds, human resources, and supplies. - Provide technical guidance to programme teams and ensure alignment with UNICEF's rights-based and results-based management approaches.
