The Global Foundations team is located within the UNICEF's Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) division and works across the UNICEF family of country offices and national committees to maximize engagements and stewardship with foundations for UNICEF. UNICEF seeks to work in partnership with the world's leading and emerging foundations on causes of mutual importance, to achieve sustainable change at scale for every child. The organization's vision is to harness the potential of the foundation community to increase financial investments for children, exchange knowledge around joint areas of technical expertise, engage their voice in advocating for children's rights, and leverage social sector financing for children.
Education Above All (EAA) and its programme Educate a Child (EAC) has been a key UNICEF partner contributing over 250 million USD to UNICEF's Out-of-school Children programme and has been a major source of income growth for the Foundation channel in recent years. To support this growing partnership, a dedicated resource is needed to operationalize the partnership across several country offices, ensuring high-quality proposals, reports, and engagements with this high-value partner.
UNICEF in Qatar was established in 2019 and has developed partnerships with various Qatari public and private entities. The partnerships team is based in Doha, and the Qatar Office plans to develop this partnership and broaden the engagement under local stewardship.
