For every child, Deliver

Eliminating child poverty and ensuring access to social protection have been recognized as critical priorities of the Agenda 2030. An explicit requirement to measure and monitor multidimensional child poverty is included under SDG 1.1.2, and similarly, the need to accelerate progress around public spending for poverty reduction under SDG 1.a.2, and SDG 1.b.1 for which UNICEF has recently become a custodian. The effective scale-up of social protection, with a specific attention to children, is included as part of ensuring access to social protection, a core target of SDG 1 (Elimination of poverty), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). Moreover, social protection is also an accelerator for multiple other goals. Addressing the multiple and compounding deprivations experienced by children requires an explicit commitment to understand their drivers and to scale-up comprehensive strategies to address them. The full realization of the right of children of access to social protection and adequate standard of living will not only ensure that every child lives free of poverty, but also prevent those at risk or vulnerable to poverty due to exclusion and discrimination, or facing environmental and conflict-related risks, from falling into poverty.

Reducing child poverty, enhancing access to gender-transformative, and inclusive social protection, promoting efficiency, transparency and equity of financing, while strengthening capacities at subnational level, including in urban contexts, is critical. 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 for every child.

UNICEF has articulated its contribution to this agenda and added value across various instruments including, the Social Protection Strategic Framework, the Call for Action on Inclusive Recovery and roadmap, the Urban Evaluation and Management Response, the social protection commitments to the Core Commitments on Children (CCS), as well as - most recently - in the new Goal Area 5 of UNICEF's Strategic Plan 2022-2025, ?Every Child has Access to Inclusive Social Protection and Lives Free of Poverty?.

UNICEF's regional office for Europe and Central Asia (ECARO) is responsible for providing technical support, quality assurance, and strategic guidance to 22 country offices. The Social Policy and Economic Analysis section engages in diverse contexts ? high, middle, and low income countries; conflict-affected and stable ? providing guidance on social protection, child poverty, public finance for children, and local governance.

In recent years, UNICEF ECARO has scaled up programming in the areas of shock-responsive social protection and humanitarian cash transfers. Though coverage of social protection programmes in the region is generally higher than average and social protection systems in many countries are well-developed, the region is exposed to a wide range of shocks and stressors that point to the need to improve the way systems respond during an emergency. In recent years, countries in the region have been impacted by natural disaster including earthquakes (e.g., Croatia, Turkey) and floods (e.g., Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kazakhstan). COVID-19 took a toll across the region, both directly and through decreased economic activity. Conflict has impacted the region both directly (Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, Ukraine war and displacement) and indirectly (Syrian refugee crisis in Turkey, Afghan refugees in Central Asia). The current economic crisis is having a significant impact on the region, and particularly on Central Asian countries and the Caucasus. At a regional level, UNICEF has responded by scaling up capacity development and support to country staff and governments on areas related to shock response and humanitarian cash transfers. However, there are still significant gaps and support needs that require dedicated expertise.

Under the general supervision and guidance of the Regional Advisor ? Social Policy and Economic Analysis, the Social Policy Specialist (Social Protection in Emergencies) works to improve linkages and address challenges impacting many households at once such as natural hazards, economic crises, and conflict. Specifically, the Social Policy Specialist (Social Protection in Emergencies) supports country offices and the regional office to model approaches, conduct analysis and advocate for better preparedness to enable systems - existing or new social protection or emergency programmes in the region - to be ready to accommodate new populations and needs as a result of a shock. S/he also supports country offices to design, oversee the implementation, monitor, evaluate and improve the delivery of UNICEF's humanitarian cash transfer programme(s) in the region; ensures that country teams (social policy, operations, and relevant sectors) have the appropriate skills and knowledge to design and implement HCT operations; and helps to solidify UNICEF's position as a global leader on HCT within the ECA region.
