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, 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 Regional Adviser, Health and HIV will supervise this position. How can you make a difference? Purpose for the job Under the guidance of the Regional Health Advisor, the purpose of this role is to offer Digital Health support to health programming within the UNICEF Regional Office for West and Central Africa. Working closely under the leadership of the supervisor, the incumbent will collaborate with key stakeholders such as the Regional Chief of ICT, Regional Business Analyst (T4D/Innovation), and the Senior Health Specialist (DICE) at UNICEF HQ, along with regional office staff, T4D/Innovation and program officers in country offices, Ministry of Health (MOH), WHO AFRO, the Africa CDC, and other relevant stakeholders. This position holds accountability for the planning, design, implementation, and administration of a significant digital health system strengthening program within UNICEF's Approach to Digital Health. The responsibilities encompass assessing existing deployments and partnerships, evaluating the status of "foundational eHealth building blocks," identifying health system bottlenecks, exploring opportunities where digital health solutions could enhance the delivery of quality care at the community level, and strategizing the implementation of a digitally-enabled Primary Health Care (PHC) strategy based on robust eHealth building blocks. Furthermore, the role entails supporting the costing and development of an investment case for the scale-up of the digital health implementation plan. It will require an ability to understand complex, abstract concepts, and ability to think creatively about best fitting technology for each country and create the end product investment case. It will take an understanding of currently available technology and trends to develop effective solutions for the Health sector, especially at community or primary health care level. It also requires an extensive background and presence in the mHealth/eHealth communities. The purpose of the temporary appointment is also to support country offices in ensuring that existing digital health solutions, where appropriate, are leveraged in a way that is consistent with UNICEF's guidance to improve future emergency preparedness and response. Key functions, accountabilities and related duties/tasks Within the delegated authority and under the given organizational set-up, the Digital Health Specialist is accountable the following areas of major duties and key end-results: - Guide efforts in improving digital health interventions and data systems and interoperability for improved routine health data, including immunization data, community health and nutrition services data (CHMIS/HMIS), linked to community-based services for children, demand generation and community empowerment), civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) as well as health emergency preparedness and responses - Enable technical and programmatic support on Digital Health and Technology for Development, including but not limited to DHIS 2, CHIS, digital health public goods, OpenSRP, CommCare and so son.

WHAT IS MENTAL HEALTH AND PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT? 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, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the 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 the Strategic Plan. Within the GPN, the Crisis Bureau (CB) guides UNDP's corporate crisis and fragility related strategies and vision for crisis prevention, response, and recovery. The Bureau has the responsibility for providing support to prevention, crisis response, resilience, recovery, and peacebuilding work under the auspices of UNDP's Strategic Plan. CB personnel provide global strategic advice to UNDP management and technical advice to regional hubs and Country Offices; advocate for UNDP corporate messages, represent UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora, and engage in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas. As part of the Global Policy Network (GPN), the CB works in an integrated manner with UNDP's Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) ensuring that issues are fully integrated into UNDP's development programmes. Peace outcomes are delivered in a coherent manner, working across the GPN that includes the Governance team in Bureau of Policy and Programme Support. UNDP has taken several initiatives to advance policy-level work, programming support, and partnerships development to promote the integration of MHPSS in Prevention and Peacebuilding.
