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, nutrition The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does ? in programmes, 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, nutrition, 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. The evolving face of maternal and child malnutrition in South Asia region demands a multifaceted response that supports nutritious, safe, affordable diets, nutrition services and positive nutrition practices across the lifecycle. At the same time, the climate crisis is slowing, and at times reverting, regional progress on ending child malnutrition in the region. The UNICEF Nutrition Strategy 2020?2030 calls for UNICEF programmes to strengthen the capacity and accountability of five key systems ? food, health, water and sanitation, education, and social protection ? to deliver nutritious diets, essential nutrition services and positive nutrition practices for children, adolescents, and women. The health system is a key delivery platform for the prevention and treatment of malnutrition, providing multiple contact opportunities with children, adolescents, and women. However, all too often, health systems do not effectively integrate nutrition services. Cocoverage of health and nutrition interventions is far from optimal and disproportionately affects poor households in South Asia. Therefore, policy and programming efforts should pay attention to closing coverage, equity, and opportunity gaps, and improving nutrition service delivery through health system and other delivery platforms. Accelerating health and nutrition outcomes for vulnerable women and children through multi-sectoral community action and support to the Community Health Delivery Partnership (CHDP) agenda is an organisational priority for UNICEF across all levels of the organization.

Background UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP's policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels offers a spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in its Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in UNDP's Strategic Plan. Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP's Strategic Plan. BPPS staff provide technical advice to Country Offices, advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represent UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private, government and civil society dialogues, and engage in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas. UNDP's 2022-2025 Strategic Plan highlights our continued commitment to eradicating poverty, accompanying countries in their pathways towards the SDGs and working towards the Paris Agreement. As part of the Global Policy Network in the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support, UNDP's Nature, Climate Change, Energy, and Waste Hubs promote and scale up integrated whole-of-governance approaches and nature-based solutions that reduce poverty and inequalities, strengthen livelihoods and inclusive growth, mitigate conflict, forced migration and displacement, and promote more resilient governance systems that advance linked peace and security agendas. BPPS work with governments, civil society, and private sector partners to integrate nature, climate, energy and waste related concerns into national and sector planning and inclusive growth policies, support country obligations under Multilateral Environmental Agreements, and oversee the implementation of the UN's largest portfolio of in-country programming nature, climate change, energy, and waste. This multi-billion-dollar portfolio encompasses: - Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services including forests; - Sustainable Land Management and Desertification including food and commodity systems; - Water and Ocean Governance including SIDS; - Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation; - Sustainable Energy; - Extractive Industries; - Chemicals and Waste Management; - Environmental Governance and Green/Circular Economy; and SCP approaches. This work advances crosscutting themes on innovative finance, capacity development, human rights, gender equality, health, technology, South-South learning and digital transformation. UNDP has developed its new Strategy for Food and Agricultural Commodity Systems (FACS) to focus its vision and enhance its support to transform FACS. FACS is fundamental to the sustainable development of the 170 countries UNDP supports. FACS are often the largest contributor to their economies; food and nutrition are fundamental for citizen health; and FACS has a key role to play in achieving the SDGs. Yet, FACS are in crisis and need to be radically transformed to become sustainable. UNDP, building on its experience, has for the first time consolidated its FACS support and vision into this Strategy. The challenges and need for change related to FACS have been highlighted by a suite of reports by many research and international organizations and think tanks. The production practices and consumption patterns of food and agricultural commodities are taking these systems on an unsustainable trajectory with multiple impacts on human development, the environment, and economies; from ecosystem degradation, conflicts over land and natural resources, reduced capacity and resilience to climate and other shocks, persistent poverty, food insecurity and related people displacement and migration, to malnutrition including overweight and obesity. There is a clear need to work in a systemic and integrated manner to transform the FACS towards sustainability. UNDP´;s Vision for FACS 2030 is, through partnerships, to transform food and agricultural commodity systems into resilient; equitable; healthy, inclusive; environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable systems. Working on FACS will contribute to not only recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, by creating sustainable and resilient livelihoods for many along the FAC supply chains, but also to preventing further zoonoses from emerging in the future. This will require a change in the current paradigm of agricultural production focusing on maximizing productivity to a new paradigm based on diversified agroecological systems that work simultaneously on achieving economic, environmental, social, and health outcomes; with smallholders as a key part of the solution in their role as the engine of economic development. A FACS practice has been established within UNDP´;s Nature, Climate, and Energy team, which is tasked to support UNDP Country Offices with FACS-related challenges in a way that is aligned with UNDP´;s FACS strategy. As part of its work on systems change, the FACS practice has developed the "Conscious Food Systems Alliance" (CoFSA), a movement of food, agriculture, and consciousness practitioners, convened by UNDP, and united around a common goal: to support people from across food and agriculture systems to cultivate the inner capacities that activate systemic change and regeneration. The conceptual design of the Alliance began in September 2020, including the development of a Concept Note. Partner outreach to key stakeholders, including development agencies, companies, governments, NGOs, donors, academia, grassroots and indigenous networks, and consciousness experts commenced throughout 2020-21. In October 2021, the CoFSA launched the 'The Breathing Room'; an intentional and transformative space where core partners connect deeply with themselves and one another to co-create and co-implement the Conscious Food Systems Alliance – vision, strategy, portfolio of activities, partnerships, resourcing, global reporting and advocacy. The CoFSA strategy for phase III, starting in Q4 2022, is to move into application to test and demonstrate approaches for cultivating inner capacities in food systems; and to convene a Community of Practice and Learning at the centre of the Alliance to facilitate learning and knowledge exchange, peer support and inspiration, etc. The two pillars feed in and reinforce each other, as learnings from the pilot activities will feed into the Community of Practice and Learning, whilst the community will serve as a space to develop partnerships for collaboration on interventions and training. In 2023, The Conscious Food Systems Alliance: - Launched a series of activities among which: Collective Inquiry series on core areas of intervention (including, Conscious Local Communities and Cultures for Regeneration, Farmers well-being and psychological resilience, Traditional Wisdom for Conscious Food Systems); Consciousness Practice Sessions for food systems transformation (e.g., mindfulness, nature-connection, non-violent communication, etc.), and monthly meditations for farmers and food producers with Satish Kumar. - In April 2023 CoFSA convened its community and held its first 3-day in person strategic retreat at Schumacher College, UK, which allowed members to experience the role of consciousness practices in transforming food systems, build connections and collaborations and frame the next stage of the alliance's development. Some participants described this experience as profoundly transformative at both personal and professional levels. - Additionally, in July 2023, we launched a Call for Proposals, offering up to $20,000 in funding for four CoFSA member-led initiatives. These initiatives aim to demonstrate how consciousness-based approaches can strengthen inner capacities, accelerating the transformation of food systems towards regenerative, sustainable, and equitable models. - Finally, in 2023, in partnership with the Inner Green Deal, CoFSA developed and successfully tested Conscious Food Systems Leadership, combining 6 online modules with a collaborative online platform and practice app. Duties and Responsibilities Support to the CoFSA Team in: - Stakeholders mapping including donors, strategic partners, and grassroots networks with data collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation in flowcharts, tables, or slides; - Preparation and organization of calls, webinars, and virtual workshops to support donor and partner outreach; - Maintain knowledge management tools / virtual collaborative tools for CoFSA working groups (e.g. Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, etc.); - Drafting, designing, and updating communications content and support on social media promotion and website updates; - Preparation of presentations, slide decks; briefing notes, project proposals, meeting minutes, and reports; - Assist in research, including possible donors and fundraising opportunities, and on any other key CoFSA issues. - Maintaining the internal filing system up to date; including database management of COFSA Members. - Other related tasks.
