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.

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.

For every child, love Lebanon is experiencing a growing triple burden of malnutrition (stunting, micronutrient deficiencies, and obesity) among children and adolescents and high rates of undernutrition among women. Despite this unprecedented progress, the burden of poor child nutrition and development is increasing in Lebanon due to the protracted refugee and economic crisis. Children under five years of age in the most deprived areas are not growing and developing well because of poor care, malnutrition – undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight – and three in four children are living in food poverty, without the minimum diet they need to grow healthy. This's while 30 to 40 per cent of school age children and adolescents (specially girls), are affected by obesity and or anemia. One of the main drivers of this is extremely poor dietary patterns of children and adolescents; 70% of children are deprived of the best start in life (Exclusive breast-feeding) and 3 in 4 children under age 5 experienced child food poverty, which means their diets included only four food groups at most. Even more alarmingly, over 1 in 4 children under age 5 live in severe food poverty, meaning, the diets of 85,000 Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian refugees' children, include at most two food groups, a few spoonsful of porridge and a small cup of milk may be their only meal of the day, every day, leaving them highly vulnerable to severe stunting and wasting – the most life-threatening forms of undernutrition in early childhood. Following the Beirut Blast in 2020, Nutrition was initially coordinated as a task force under the Food Security Sector. Recognizing the need for a dedicated platform to address the worsening nutritional status driven by poverty, inflation, and multiple emergencies, the HCT established Nutrition as a standalone sector in October 2020, in alignment with Global Nutrition Cluster recommendations. The Nutrition Sector Coordinator will provide leadership on behalf of UNICEF, the Lead Agency of the Nutrition Sector, ensuring clear roles, accountability, and strengthened partnerships among NGOs, UN agencies, and governmental institutions. Supporting national and sub-national coordination teams, the coordinator will enhance the effectiveness of humanitarian responses, aligning with global standards and the IASC Cluster Coordination framework. Furthermore, UNICEF is committed to support humanitarian coordination through the sector approach. Introduced as part of the humanitarian reform, the sector approach, aims at ensuring clear leadership, predictability and accountability in international responses to humanitarian emergencies by clarifying the division of labor among organizations and better defining their roles and responsibilities within the different sectors involved in the response. A well-run Sector/ Working Group coordination team is a formal deliverable of the Sector Lead Agency and forms a part of the agency's work. How can you make a difference? Under the overall direction and guidance of the Chief Field Operations, the Nutrition Specialist Sector Coordinator will provide leadership and representation of the Sector/Working Group at national level and Beirut Mount Lebanon Subnational coordination. They will facilitate the processes that will ensure a well-coordinated, strategic, adequate, coherent, and effective response by participants in the national Sector/ Working Group that is accountable to those who are affected by the emergency. In their effort to provide an efficient and effective response to the humanitarian crisis, the Nutrition Specialist Sector Coordinator is responsible for building relationships with stakeholders, for securing the overall coordination of sectoral responses and for ensuring inter-sectoral collaboration at the national level and for ensuring adequate coordination with the national level.
