The Child Protection Specialist is responsible for managing and overseeing the development, implementation and monitoring of UNICEF’s Regional Programme on birth registration (BR) within the broader civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) and Legal Identity framework, as one of the priority areas in UNICEF Global Child Protection Strategy (2021-2030) and as part of global child protection (CP) priorities, expressed within the Strategic Plan (2022-2025).
The objective of this study is around three pillars. First within several countries from WCAR with existing taxation for SSB, it aims to assess how taxes have affected the penetration of SSB (market share) since its application jointly and will estimate own- and cross- price-elasticities of ‘junk’ foods and SSBs for West and Central African households. Secondly, the study will assess the potential impact of a series of alternative tax schemes and subsidies beyond SSB on household expenditures for food items. Finally, the consultancy will assess the readiness of countries without any legislation in place.
UNICEF adopted its new Gender Action Plan 2022-2025 (GAP) which is an ambitious effort at catalyzing field level programming and results that advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in key areas of UNICEF's work. The UNICEF Gender Action Plan 2022-2025 prioritizes a gender-equitable approach to promoting gender equality.
Developed in tandem with UNICEF’s new Gender Policy and Gender Action Plan (GAP), The UNICEF Strategic Plan for 2022-25 emphasizes structural and norms change to transform the underlying drivers of gender inequality and reflects an intersectional approach to the compounding social exclusion and marginalization related to factors like poverty, racism, disability and migration. With this new, transformative approach, UNICEF is strengthening the mainstreaming of gender equality throughout our programming and systems, while increasing investment in gender-related data.
Urban areas in West and Central Africa face significant challenges in accessing safe water, adequate sanitation, and proper hygiene facilities (WASH). Rapid urbanization, coupled with inadequate infrastructure and services and climate changes impacts on services, exacerbates these challenges, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations such as children, women, and marginalized communities.
The primary objective of this consultancy is to advocate for the adoption and promotion of safely managed sanitation practices through creative storytelling and video production in West and Central Africa. The consultant will be tasked with raising awareness, influencing behavior change, and garnering support for improved sanitation practices, particularly targeting vulnerable communities and key stakeholders.
