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. In the past decade, UNICEF has built and continues to grow its private sector fundraising (PSFR) capacity in around 20 middle income - and emerging high income ? countries where it maintains programmes (programme countries). These countries are where a fast-growing private sector (especially a booming middle class) provides an opportunity for generating new funding streams to support UNICEF's work with children. As a result, several UNICEF country offices are now substantially or wholly funded by revenue generated from businesses, trusts/foundations, and individual donors within their own countries. This approach reduces dependency on UNICEF's global resources, and it enables the organization to apply flexible resources where the needs of children are the greatest. Within the context of UNICEF's broader engagement with the private sector to leverage re- sources and support for children, the opportunity exists to explore private sector fundraising in over 100 programme countries globally and expand operations in the existing UNICEF PSFR countries. For every child, a Champion The Division of Private Sector Fundraising & Partnerships identified four key strategic shifts that will significantly impact how UNICEF works. The strategic shift that the Country Office Development and Support (CODAS) Unit is responsible for is the sustainability of country offices' programming for children. To successfully implement this shift, scales of the economy of fundraising operations have been identified as the most suitable business model. Therefore, this role aims to support the CODAS unit with implementing the private sector fundraising business model for country office sustainability in multiple UNICEF regions. How can you make a difference? Under the guidance of Market Development Manager, the incumbent will be responsible for working with diverse internal and external stakeholders to: - Collate, assess, and document business needs. - Support decision-making and business strategy through research and the use of data and evidence. - Support the drafting of project implementation plans and following up on actions. - Develop questionnaires and surveys to gather feedback and information to inform project implementation. - Support with documenting case studies, developing learning and support tools for new business systems and processes for country office users. - Consultation and presentation of information and data with UNICEF Regional Service Centers, country offices and PFP stakeholders. - Assist in the development of business cases and budgets. - Organise webinars and information sessions for various internal audiences. - Function as a business analyst to understand business needs and work with stakeholders to adapt these to online and digital platforms; and - Provide customer service support to internal clients on questions, information and data or evidence. Given the dynamic nature of implementing the key strategic shift and delivering a new business model, the SM will work closely with the supervisor to define the outcomes. Internal and external factors will impact the implementation process beyond the SM's or CODAS's control. This new process requires critical thinking, business acumen and the ability to innovate and solve business problems using new thinking and ways of doing business. The candidate must be curious and willing to investigate ideas and concepts and create and propose solutions with the confidence to navigate uncertainty with agility.

All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. Central Africa is home to the second largest tropical rainforest in the world. Forest loss is accelerating despite ongoing efforts, as government action alone has not been sufficient to establish an effective balance between the interests of the forest and of economic development. On this basis, a coalition of willing donors – Norway, European Union, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, and South Korea – together with Central African partner countries – Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of Cameroon, the Republic of Congo, the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, and the Republic of Gabon – have entered in 2015 into a collaborative partnership to establish in partnership with the United Nations, the Central African Forest Initiative (CAFI). The objective of this initiative is to recognize and preserve the value of the forests in the region to mitigate climate change, reduce poverty, and contribute to sustainable development. This objective will be attained through the implementation of country-led, national scale REDD+ and Low Emissions Development (LED) investment frameworks that include policy reforms and measures to address the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation and promote sustainable development. The CAFI Trust Fund is the principal means to implement the Central African Forest Initiative. It is administered by the MPTF-Office (http://mptf.undp.org/factsheet/fund/AFI00). As per the updated Fund Terms of Reference and the direct cost Secretariat project document, the UNDP Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTFO) is hosting the CAFI Secretariat providing the secretariat administrative services under the oversight of the CAFI Executive Board and other participating UN organizations (UNDP, UNCDF, FAO, UN-Habitat, UNFPA, and UNEP). Established by the Executive Board, the CAFI Secretariat was created to support the fund management coupled with policy and programmatic dialogue and portfolio administration, strongly based on result-based management and solid reporting methods. The CAFI Secretariat operates across most of its country of scope, namely DRC, Cameroon, Republic of Congo and Gabon; and its headquarters is located in Geneva, Switzerland. Cameroon signed the CAFI Declaration in 2015 with an Expression of Interest launched in 2023 to mobilize a round of investments in the country ranging from approximately USD 60 millions of dollars of investment. The expectation is that this will be accompanied by the signature of a Letter of Intent (LOI) and respective policy milestones. Additionally, important steps have been taken to advance the such partnership aimed at supporting the acceleration of Cameroon's green economy, thus reducing the impact of Cameroonian value chains on deforestation while making Cameroon-produced goods more competitive in international markets and enhancing food security for the population. Position Purpose: Under the supervision of the Chief Policy Dialogue and Country Engagement, the Technical Specialist (Partnerships) will facilitate the CAFI Executive Board and Secretariat with the engagement of national partners on a shared vision for the partnership, and in the planning, implementation and monitoring of LOI.

UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. Click here to learn more about what makes us proud working for UNICEF! For Every Child, commitment. 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.
