The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank whose mission is financing the Infrastructure for Tomorrowinfrastructure with sustainability at its core. We began operations in Beijing in January 2016 and have since grown to 109 approved Members worldwide. We are capitalized at USD100 billion and rated AAA by the major international credit rating agencies. Collaborating with partners, AIIB meets clients' needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled and promotes regional connectivity. The Economics Department is responsible for economic analysis in AIIB, which includes providing thought leadership for AIIB, such as preparing one of AIIB's annual flagship publications, the Asian Infrastructure Finance; conducting applied research (including but not limited to ex ante and ex post investment impact assessments, and market structure diagnostics); projecting country and sector infrastructure needs, producing project cost-benefit analysis; monitoring country debt sustainability and other macroeconomic risks. Going forward, infrastructure is pivotal for countries to tackle the triple challenges of economic development, climate change and nature degradation. Monitoring the progress of infrastructure expansion and deepening our understanding of investment impacts are thus critical from the analytical point of view.

Background Switzerland has developed and nurtured its relationship with Ukraine since the 1990s. The Swiss Cooperation Programme 2020–23, extended until 2024, translates Switzerland's renewed commitment to support Ukraine on its path towards peace and sustainable development, by building an inclusive society where all women and men equally contribute to and benefit from public integrity and sustainable growth. The Programme covers four domains: 1. Peace, Protection and Democratic Institutions (Governance), 2. Sustainable Cities, 3. Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Competitiveness, and 4. Health. On 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, dramatically escalating the eight years of conflict. The ongoing Russian military aggression has a disruptive impact on all levels with unknown prospect. As per the UN Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024, an estimated 14.6 million Ukrainians are in need of humanitarian assistance; nearly 4 million people are internally displaced. The humanitarian crisis requires a fast and coordinated response of local, regional, national and international actors in a highly volatile context. Challenges to the provision of humanitarian assistance are complex, and needs continue to be enormous, especially in the conflict-affected north, east, and south of the country, and in recovered areas that were previously occupied by Russia. In addition to the tens of thousands of civilian casualties, the ongoing destruction of civil infrastructure by frequent missile attacks, focussing especially on the heating-, electricity- and water distribution networks, leave millions of people without basic services. It is expected that the war will continue for an undetermined period and that long-term humanitarian and recovery support is needed. The Swiss humanitarian response focuses on two clusters of thematic priorities: (i) WASH, shelter & winterization; (ii) Protection, basic services and livelihood. These two clusters build on the existing priorities of the Swiss Cooperation Programme in Ukraine 2020-24. Furthermore, support to Mine Action is considered to be a crosscutting topic through an additional contribution of CHF 100 Mio for the period 2024-2027. Emergency preparedness and shock responsiveness continue to be highly relevant, together with humanitarian interventions in early recovery and reconstruction. SHA also engages in the organization and delivery of humanitarian goods to Ukraine as well as Humanitarian diplomacy and advocacy. Switzerland plays an active role in donor coordination, on both the humanitarian and the development/recovery side. Switzerland co-chairs the Humanitarian Donor Coordination Group, is member of the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund Advisory Board and of the Community Recovery Steering Committee, and is thus well positioned to engage in high level policy dialogue. The Swiss humanitarian team is fully integrated into the Swiss International Cooperation Team within the Swiss Embassy and reinforces the overall Swiss response. Tasks The incumbent is responsible of a number of programmes and supports the overall coordination of the humanitarian work with internal and external parties. As active member of the humanitarian team, the incumbent is responsible for the humanitarian mine action portfolio, as well as support humanitarian policy dialogue in country.

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. For every child, good Nutrition To date, progress has been slow on improving access to nutritious diets, essential nutrition services and positive nutrition and care practices adolescent girls and women need to live full, healthy and equal lives. This is reflected in the high rates of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and anemia, which have barely decreased in the last two decades. Despite these challenges, evidence is mounting and momentum for women's nutrition is growing at global, regional and national level. Anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies can be prevented, even among girls and women living in the most challenging circumstances. To harness this momentum, UNICEF launched an ?Improving Maternal Nutrition Acceleration Plan' in March 2024, to prevent malnutrition and anaemia during pregnancy. It aims to fast-track the delivery of a package of essential services, reaching 16 million women across 16 priority countries by the end of 2025: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Rwanda, Somalia, Sri Lanka and the United Republic of Tanzania. The essential package of services will largely be delivered via antenatal care (ANC), a critical platform for delivery of services, health promotion, and disease prevention during pregnancy. It represents a unique opportunity for early detection and management of diseases, micronutrient deficiencies, malaria, and other health conditions which otherwise could jeopardize the health of mothers and their babies. Part of the essential package of services will be the delivery of multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS), which contains 15 essential vitamins and minerals and has been proven to have significant benefits for mother and baby when taken during pregnancy. The introduction of MMS can be used as a catalyst to strengthen overall ANC service delivery, to update national guidelines, and to improve training of community-based health and nutrition workers for quality service provision. How can you make a difference? To help meet UNICEFs ambitious agenda set out in the Acceleration Plan, this role will support current HQ staff for implementation of the Plan, across the 16 countries. The role will support effective and efficient knowledge management and communication, including: supporting countries to develop robust monitoring and learning; working with country and regional offices to strengthen the policy environment and developing localized advocacy plans; documenting qualitative aspects of maternal nutrition service delivery and how the scale up of MMS is being used as a catalyst for scaling up and improving the quality of service provision, including at community level; supporting donor reporting; supporting the development of social and behavior change materials and training; working with Supply Division in supporting countries in forecasting their supply needs ensuring that countries have timely delivery of the required commodities; and participating in end-line documentation of key lessons learned for scale-up.

For every child, good Nutrition Middle childhood (5-9 years) and adolescence (10-19 years) represent a critical window of opportunity for growth and development. During this age, children experience rapid physical and neurological development, requiring high amounts of nutritious foods providing the protein, nutrients, and energy they need. Children 5 to 19 years are at risk of various forms of malnutrition, such as micronutrient deficiencies, overweight and obesity, and underweight, which can impact their health for the rest of their lives. However, historically, school-age children and adolescents have been perceived as less vulnerable and received less attention in policies and programmes than other groups. Additionally, school-age children and adolescents are systematically targeted by food companies producing highly processed foods high in calories, sugar, fat, and salt. UNICEF recognizes the importance of investing in the nutrition of school-age children and adolescents and the criticality of ensuring that they can exercise their right to adequate food and nutrition. Thus, UNICEF has developed an agenda aimed at protecting and promoting diets, services and practices that support optimal nutrition, growth and development. The programming priorities are outlined in UNICEF´;s Programming Guidance for Nutrition in Middle Childhood and Adolescence and the Programming Guidance for the Prevention of Overweight and Obesity in Children and Adolescents.

Currently, UNICEF is supporting 90 countries to implement these programmes and policies to prevent all forms of malnutrition among school-age children and adolescents. How can you make a difference? To help meet UNICEF's ambitious agenda on school-aged children and adolescent nutrition, including the prevention of overweight and obesity and micronutrient deficiencies, this role will support in the operationalization of the priorities set out in the Nutrition Strategy, and the Programming Guidance for Nutrition in Middle Childhood and Adolescence and for the Prevention of Overweight and Obesity in Children and Adolescents. The role will support effective and efficient knowledge management and communication, including supporting the organization of stakeholder convenings and the development of advocacy materials and public-facing reports.

UNICEF does not charge a processing fee at any stage of its recruitment, selection, and hiring processes (i.e., application stage, interview stage, validation stage, or appointment and training). UNICEF will not ask for applicants' bank account information. All UNICEF positions are advertised, and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted and advance to the next stage of the selection process. An internal candidate performing at the level of the post in the relevant functional area, or an internal/external candidate in the corresponding Talent Group, may be selected, if suitable for the post, without assessment of other candidates.
