For every child, hope The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does - in programmes, 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. 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. How can you make a difference?

The Last Mile Supply Monitoring (LMSM) solution addresses a long-standing challenge of lack of visibility to the last mile of UNICEF's supply chain. When partners receive supplies, they use the LMSM solution to report supply movements within their supply chain and the data is transformed into visuals available to both partners and UNICEF. Based on the increased visibility, UNICEF and the partner can strengthen programme implementation and identify potential inconsistencies so supplies reach the intended beneficiaries.

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. DELIVERABLES: The role will support a new business model for UNICEF country offices and regions.
