Programme Specialist, Maternal Nutrition - P3

United States of America, New York, New York - UNICEF empImg

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.

Programme Specialist - Nutrition of School-age Children and Adolescents - P3

United States of America, New York, New York - UNICEF empImg

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 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. These include: (1) improving the quality of foods, in schools and beyond; (2) ensuring food environments are healthy, in schools and beyond, through fiscal policies, front-of-pack food labeling, marketing restrictions of unhealthy foods and beverages, and improving school food environments; (3) micronutrient supplementation and deworming programmes; (4) nutrition education and physical activity in school curricula; and (5) social behavior change campaigns and strategies to promote healthy dietary practices among school-age 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.

Enterprise Risk Manager - P4

United States of America, New York, New York - UNICEF empImg

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, commitment Over the past decade, the scale, range and complexity of UNICEF programmes and operations have  increased significantly. UNICEF income has doubled to over $8 billion, with a commensurate increase in staffing, and programme scope and ambition have expanded to accelerate progress towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Moreover, the organization has to work in more complex and unpredictable operating contexts as a result of the relentless surge in emergencies and humanitarian needs. Today's volatile world is facing increasingly severe (geo)political divides, conflict, natural disasters due to climate change and economic uncertainty. It is essential that UNICEF risk management guidance and practices keep in line with the size and pace of risk exposures and enable the organization to take the right amount of the right type of risks to maximize results for children. The incumbent will contribute to strengthening UNICEF's enterprise-wide risk management, which in turn would help to secure success in its work for every child ? recognizing that the biggest risk is not reaching children. It enables a proactive and resilient organization to safely face the risks posed by the current environment and confidently take the risks required to achieve its objectives. By implementing an evolved risk management framework, UNICEF strives for: - Using risk management as an active management tool to enable taking the right amount of the right type of risks, informing planning and decision-making; - Being a forward-looking organization that systematically anticipates potential issues before they may happen, effectively manages expectations and takes proactive actions to reduce vulnerabilities and secure success; - Building a comprehensive and lean system of risk assessment, control and assurance functions working efficiently together based on a shared understanding of key risks; - Applying risk mitigation, control and oversight efforts proportionate to levels of risks associated with the delivery of results for children; - Fostering an open culture of risk-awareness that encourages everybody to transparently flag risks ahead of time, confidently take necessary risks, and plan for and learn from failure.   How can you make a difference? UNICEF has established a new position of Chief Risk Officer in the Office of the Executive Director with a view to launch an evolved ?ERM 2.0? framework in 2024, based on a new risk management vision, strategy and implementation plan (See 2024-8-Update-enterprise-risk-management-EN-ODS.pdf (unicef.org)). This aims to further strengthen Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) as a true enabler for delivery in an uncertain and volatile environment, which requires a more overarching portfolio view of risks at different levels of the organization, and a more coordinated approach integrated in programmatic and strategic planning and decision-making. The new office of the Chief Risk Officer will identify systemic and emerging top risks that require an organization-wide response, provide clarity on risk appetite (i.e. the willingness to accept being exposed to certain risks) and facilitate reporting to governance bodies, as required. The office will support and champion good risk management practices and instill a culture of risk awareness in UNICEF country and regional offices and at headquarters divisions. It will also facilitate sharing lessons across the organization and shaping United Nations inter-agency and donor collaboration on shared risks. The Enterprise Risk Manager will help the Chief Risk Officer to launch the ERM 2.0 framework and assist in the day to day activities related to standing up the new Chief Risk Office in the Office of the Executive Director, which could include amongst others: - Coordinate, facilitate and monitor the implementation of effective risk management practices for UNICEF's strategy, operations and programmes - Support in conducting a strategic risk assessment (grounded in the UNICEF strategic plan and with input from senior leadership) to define top risks requiring a corporate-level response and discussion in the Senior Management Risk Committee - Assist in the preparation and facilitation of Senior Management Risk Committee meetings by supporting risk owners with deep dives on top risks, and drive strategic thinking on implications and trade-offs - Support in developing an initial organization-wide risk appetite statement and subsequently operationalize and further refine it - Revise key risk policies and procedures in line with the new vision, simplifying guidance and the taxonomy of risk categories - Review and further define roles and responsibilities and governance mechanisms for risk management across the organization - Conduct ad-hoc thematic risk analysis, provide tailored support to high-risk countries, and capture and share best practices across country offices and regions - Help to drive change across the organization by instilling a risk-aware culture and enable scale-up and integration of risk management practices in planning and decision-making, including by developing training material and piloting simplified risk register tools and dashboards - Assist in driving a communication campaign to propagate the new vision and risk philosophy as part of the launch of ERM 2.0 and in setting up a risk practitioner network and community of practice across the organization - Engage actively with other risk-related functions, and other relevant stakeholders (e.g. other UN agencies and donors) as required to ensure cross-cutting and end-to-end risk management - Represent the Chief Risk Office in meetings as required   To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have?
