This position is exclusively open to Swiss citizens. Candidates who do not fulfil this condition will not receive response.     Background Birth registration is a fundamental human right and a critical entry point for ensuring a child's legal identity, nationality, and access to essential services. A birth certificate provides official recognition of a child before the law and enables access to education, health care, social protection, and justice systems. Proof of age is also an important protection mechanism. It contributes to preventing child labor, child marriage, recruitment of children into armed forces, and the prosecution of minors as adults in criminal proceedings. Without legal documentation of birth, children face increased risks of marginalization, exclusion from services, and statelessness. Birth registration is recognized as a global development priority under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Target 16.9 calls for providing legal identity for all, including birth registration, by 2030, while Target 17.9 emphasizes strengthening national statistical capacities, including civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems. In Yemen, birth registration rates remain critically low. According to the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2023–2024, approximately 70 per cent of children in Yemen are not registered at birth. Under Yemeni law, births should be registered within 60 days. However, implementation of this requirement has been significantly affected by the protracted conflict, which has weakened state institutions and disrupted administrative services. Several barriers contribute to the low registration rates, including: - Limited access to Civil Registration Authority (CRA) offices due to distance and insecurity - Complex administrative procedures and associated costs - Limited public awareness of the importance of birth registration - Fragmentation of institutional systems due to the ongoing conflict In practice, many families only seek birth registration when documentation is required for administrative purposes such as school enrolment, passports, or national identification. Over the past several years, UNICEF has supported efforts to improve access to civil documentation in collaboration with the Protection Cluster, the Legal Aid Technical Working Group (LATWG), and partners including UNHCR and ICRC. These efforts have included support to CRA offices, advocacy for flexible documentation requirements, awareness campaigns, and pilot initiatives linking birth registration with health services. UNICEF has also contributed to key analytical work, including the MICS 2023–2024 and the 2024 "Towards Universal Birth Registration in Yemen" assessment. Despite these efforts, access to birth registration remains limited and systemic challenges persist. In this context, UNICEF Yemen seeks to undertake a comprehensive assessment of the civil registration system in Internationally Recognized Government (IRG)-controlled areas in order to identify strategic entry points for strengthening birth registration systems and expanding access to legal identity for children. Birth registration has therefore been identified as a strategic priority in UNICEF Yemen's 2025–2026 programme framework.       Purpose of Assignment The purpose of this assignment is to conduct a comprehensive review of the civil registration system in IRG-controlled areas of Yemen and provide strategic recommendations to guide UNICEF's support to strengthen birth registration systems. The assignment will generate evidence-based, context-sensitive analysis and identify practical opportunities for UNICEF engagement to expand access to birth registration, particularly for vulnerable and marginalized populations.   Objectives First Six Months The Child Protection Specialist (Birth Registration) will: - Map the institutional structures, workflows, and service delivery models used by Civil Registration Authority (CRA) offices in IRG areas. - Analyse legal, technical, operational, and political barriers to universal birth registration. - Assess gaps in data integrity, digitization, and service coverage, particularly affecting vulnerable populations such as internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and marginalized communities. - Identify opportunities for strengthening the system through integration with health services, mobile registration services, digitization, and procedural harmonization. - Develop context-specific and phased recommendations for UNICEF support that reflect operational realities, equity considerations, and protection principles. Second Six Months - Support UNICEF Yemen in the design, development, and launch of a birth registration - programme aimed at scaling up birth registration rates in IRG-controlled areas.   Scope of Work The Child Protection Specialist (Birth Registration) will undertake a conflict-sensitive and context-responsive assessment aligned with UNICEF's child protection mandate and the operational realities of Yemen's divided governance environment. Key areas of work include: 1.     Systems Mapping and Institutional Review - Conduct a comparative analysis of CRA institutional structures and operational procedures in IRG-controlled areas. - Review the legal and regulatory framework governing civil registration and birth registration in Yemen. - Assess the degree of decentralization, operational capacity, and integration with other government systems, particularly the health sector. 2.     Barriers and Vulnerability Analysis - Identify barriers that limit access to birth registration services. - Analyse risks of exclusion affecting vulnerable populations, including: - Internally displaced persons (IDPs) - Returnees - Children born out of wedlock - Marginalized communities such as Al-Muhamasheen 3.     Stakeholder Engagement - Conduct consultations with key stakeholders including: - Government authorities and CRA officials - Health sector actors - Humanitarian and legal aid organizations - Community leaders - Families and caregivers These consultations will capture institutional perspectives as well as community-level experiences with birth registration. 4.     Strategic Options for UNICEF Engagement Identify priority areas where UNICEF support could strengthen birth registration systems, including: - Mobile civil registration services - Integration of birth registration with health facilities - Simplification of administrative procedures - Digitization and data management improvements - Interim documentation and alternative identity pathways 5.     Programme Development Based on the findings of the assessment, support UNICEF in designing and launching a birth registration programme to increase registration coverage in IRG areas.   Expected Deliverables The Child Protection Specialist (Birth Registration) will produce a concise analytical report that will inform UNICEF Yemen's strategy for strengthening birth registration systems.
