Qualification: Bachelor's degree in a development related field or equivalent (Degree or equivalent in Public Administration, Political Science, International Development Studies, Future Studies, Organisational Development). WHAT IS STRATEGIC FORESIGHT? The violence of climate risks, the crisis of debt post COVID-19, an uneven embrace of technology infrastructure, concerning rise in digital risks, uncertain political unrest – point to development futures that are increasingly uncertain. How can we ensure that the authority in which we make decisions today consider its impact on a future that doesn't yet exist, and yet its impact will resonate in that future. To grapple with this uncertainty requires taking both a long-term perspective and being anticipatory in the face of emerging realities. This goes beyond just reliance on one tool or method, but a much more intentional approach to grapple with liminality, push past traditional shackles of short-term programming and planning and challenge our assumptions, mental models and values that have shaped our governance approaches to date. UNDP is embracing and embedding both the practice of anticipation and foresight into our internal policies and strategic pathways, as well as how we support our partners. We do this to 'hedge our bets' on the future – that we cannot any longer rely on static ideas of governance but rather a much more holistic, adaptive, wider metropolis that proactively identifies emerging risks, opportunities and changing tides is the only way in which we can ensure our policies are fit not just for today, but for tomorrow. UNDP is taking an applied systems approach of foresight to build the processes, knowledge, capabilities, and culture to be anticipatory, in our internal ways of working, and in what we offer externally. The ability to be anticipatoryto act in preparation of 'what could happen'is the learned skill and application of foresight. To achieve this, a roster of Strategic Foresight consultants will help provide advisory on design and implementation to UNDP's offices and governments on anticipatory governance and applied foresight. SCOPE OF WORK, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED WORK To support, test and apply foresight methodologies in line with the UNDP Strategic Foresight vision to inform better anticipatory decision making and risk management.

At UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), we are on a mission to end poverty, build democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive institutions around the world. UNDP is the United Nations' global sustainable development organization working across 170 countries. The UNDP Global Policy Network (GPN) draws on expertise globally to provide more effective responses to the complex development challenges countries face in achieving the SDGs and responding to crisis in an integrated and coherent manner. Anchored in the Crisis Bureau (CB) and the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS), the GPN has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP's Strategic Plan, which is aligned with the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Inclusive, ethical and sustainable data collection, management, use and analysis is fundamental for UNDP's work on the ground eradicating poverty while protecting the planet. UNDP's reach and multidisciplinary expertise makes it well placed as an integrator, but without proper use and understanding of data across all our offices globally, we will always fall short of being fully and confidently evidence-based in our decision making, implementation and support to governments and the people we serve. However, with this pressure to move quickly, we must remain true to upholding fundamental privacy and ethical standards. This strategy aims to provide those global standards and guidance for a harmonious and sustainable approach, while leaving space for local agility.

For every child, Peace UNICEF Syria was established in 1970 and has been working with partners to help empower children to fully claim and enjoy their rights under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF works with partners across Syria to deliver supplies, services, and expertise in areas of Child Protection, Education, Health, Nutrition, Water, Hygiene and Sanitation for every child. UNICEF also provides humanitarian assistance when needed. Syria continues to face one of the most complex emergencies in the world. Unprecedented humanitarian needs are compounded by displacement inside the country and across its borders, extensive destruction of civilian and social services infrastructure, devastating impacts on the economy, and most importantly, the breakdown of the social fabric that stitched the country together for decades. Today, 90% of people in Syria live in poverty, most are unable to make ends meet or bring food to the table. Families have had their resources depleted, with limited employment opportunities, skyrocketing prices, and shortage of basic supplies. For most people, the current socio-economic challenges represent some of the harshest and most challenging circumstances they have faced since the beginning of the crisis in 2011. The February 2023 earthquakes in north Syria and Türkiye have added agony to an already catastrophic situation, increasing the strain on services, causing displacement, and inflicting widespread damage. Many families lost their main breadwinner due to death or injury, at a time when the economic situation was already dire, resulting in millions of people unable to meet their basic needs. In 2024, 16.7 million people need humanitarian assistance[[1]](https://careers.pageuppeople.com/671/cw/en-us/job/570986#_ftn1). This is the highest number of people in need ever recorded in Syria since 2011. The number of children in need - more than 6.5 million – has increased by seven per cent in the past year alone. This is largely due the ongoing conflict, continued displacements, the unprecedented economic crisis, deepening poverty, and unemployment. The COVID-19 pandemic, the hike in price of commodities triggered by the overall global economic situation and the impact of sanctions are further compounding the dire situation.For information of the work of our organization, please visit our website: [UNICEF Syria](https://www.unicef.org/syria/) How can you make a difference?
