This assignment aims to strengthen UNICEF's health innovation portfolio by advancing the development and scale-up of innovative solutions that improve child health outcomes, with a particular focus on AI-enabled community health worker programmes, innovative approaches to childhood noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), sustainable financing models, and AI-enabled diagnostics. Working closely with governments, UNICEF offices, implementing partners, academia and the private sector, the consultant will support country engagement, assess readiness and demand, guide solution design, and facilitate the integration of innovation into primary healthcare systems.
The assignment will also contribute to expanding the portfolio through resource mobilisation, including the development of funding proposals, investment cases and strategic partnerships. In addition, the consultant will strengthen the health innovation ecosystem through evidence generation, market intelligence and knowledge sharing, helping governments identify, adopt and scale sustainable, government-owned innovations that improve health outcomes for children and communities worldwide.
