For every child, a champion 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 programmes and workplaces. It affirms that promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is the responsibility of everyone, regardless of organizational role. The GAP elaborates the steps required to accelerate progress on gender equality across the five Goal Areas of the UNICEF Strategic Plan, 2022?2025, as well as within institutional systems and processes, with clear indicators and monitoring mechanisms to track change. Recognizing that gender discrimination has lifelong and intergenerational impacts, the GAP advances gender equality throughout the life course. At the same time, it promotes targeted actions to advance the leadership and well-being of adolescent girls, as girls are both disproportionately affected by gender inequality and have tremendous potential to be leaders for change. This dual-track approach goes beyond responding to the manifestations of gender inequality to tackle its underlying drivers, including by engaging boys and men as allies; advancing upstream financing and policy solutions; and supporting girls' agency and voice. UNICEF has launched an Adolescent Girls' Programme Strategy which aims to accelerate action against these commitments, and articulates a vision for moving forwards, with and for adolescent girls', to deliver multi-faceted, girl-targeted programming, working in partnership with other partners, especially girl-led and girl-focused organisations. Girls' voice, agency and empowerment is at the core of the strategy. Much progress has been made in implementing this new strategy, with millions of adolescent girls reached through under the pilot programmes under the POWER4Girls Initiative umbrella; a new Global Girl Leaders Advisory Group launched; a new Adolescent Girls' Data Portal; new research programmes kickstarted, and more. But more is needed to spearhead and institutionalize focused work on adolescent girls rights in a holistic way. How can you make a difference? UNICEF is seeking an Adolescent Girls' Programme Specialist to play a pivotal role in advancing its Gender Action Plan and Adolescent Girls' Programme Strategy.

Focused on enhancing girls' wellbeing, leadership, and empowerment, this initiative uses multisectoral approaches in skills development, protection, and health. This position offers an incredible opportunity to make a tangible impact on girls' lives by providing technical and programmatic expertise, while also contributing to policy, advocacy, and coordination efforts across UNICEF's global network. To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have to?

This role involves providing technical guidance and operational support across all programming stages to advance gender equality and adolescent girls' rights in line with UNICEF's strategic priorities. Responsibilities include advising country offices, conducting gender analyses, designing gender-transformative programming, and advancing policies that prioritize girls' financial inclusion, education, and health.
