For every child, Hope 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.

UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. Background Le PNUD est l'une des agences des Nations Unies fortement impliquée dans la lutte contre la pauvreté et les inégalités, et reste engagé en faveur de l'agenda 2030. Cet engagement se traduit par appuis politiques et programmatique auprès des Etats membres. Le Bureau Régional pour l'Afrique, avec ses démembrements en différents hub régionaux, ambitionne d'être plus proche, et, à l'écoute des Bureaux Pays, afin de leur apporter l'appui nécessaire. Le Hub de Dakar qui couvre 27 pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre, articule l'essentiel de son programme sur des questions de gouvernance, du changement climatique et de la gestion des risques et des catastrophes naturelles, la stabilisation et le relèvement économique... L'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre, connu pour le dynamisme de sa population, fait cependant face aux innombrables défis et menaces qui impactent la qualité de vie déjà précaires des populations. D'un point de vue économique et dans la perspective des ODD qui contribuent à la prospérité des populations, la situation demeure préoccupante. La faim, l'analphabétisme, les conflits, les maladies, l'insécurité font l'objet des revendications véhémentes de la population au point d'alimenter l'instabilité politique dans plusieurs pays et la paupérisation de plus en plus aigüe de la population.

Ces acteurs qui représentent près de 60% de la population active dans la majorité des pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du centre méritent une attention particulière. La mise en place des différents mécanismes de protection sociale nécessite la mobilisation des différents intervenants ainsi que des ressources y afférentes.
