The Division of Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP), based in Geneva, aims to achieve sustainable impact for children – income and influence at scale – by maximizing UNICEF's private fundraising, partnerships, and engagement activities, including collaboration with National Committees, regional, and country offices, for the realization of children's rights. The Humanitarian Funding Unit within the Private Sector Fundraising and Partnerships (PSFP) section of PFP supports National Committees and Private Sector Fundraising (PSFR) Countries and leads global efforts across the organization to maximize funding opportunities through and for humanitarian crises and sudden-onset disasters.
Over the last 5 years, on average, 66% of private sector funding has gone to only 3 HAC appeals – many of them high-profile, media-covered emergencies. Although we will continue to leverage media-driven crises, our universal mandate requires a more sustainable and equitable distribution of funding across emergencies, particularly for Chronically Underfunded Emergencies (CUEs). Chronically Underfunded Emergencies are crises characterized by long-term humanitarian needs that often span years or even decades. These emergencies typically occur in regions affected by chronic displacement, ongoing conflicts, or recurring natural disasters such as drought.
As a founding member of GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, and in alignment with both the Immunization Agenda 2030 and the UNICEF Gender Action Plan (2026–2029), UNICEF is intensifying its efforts to integrate gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls throughout its immunization and health programming.
To support this initiative, UNICEF is establishing a dedicated team of consultants to strengthen capacity, provide specialized and sustained expertise, and offer help-desk support to UNICEF country offices and partners.
The selected consultants will be tasked with delivering targeted, context-specific support for gender in immunization country programming, monitoring, and advocacy. They will also contribute to building collective knowledge by systematically capturing experiences and best practices from gender-focused immunization and health initiatives undertaken by UNICEF and its partners

He/she will support the programme alignment, engage with partners and coordinate and manage all phases of programme formulation, new initiatives, planning, design, implementation and administration of the total programme commitment of the Cox’s Bazaar office with a broad range of projects, consistent with the organization’s goals, strategy, and priorities. This is a programme of more than one hundred million USD and represents around 150 staff and consultants.

UNICEF’s child protection in humanitarian action (CPHA) programs aim to ensure every child is protected from violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect. We partner with governments, international organizations, and civil society to actively prevent children from being harmed; to monitor grave violations committed against girls and boys and advocate for respect for international humanitarian law; and to develop programmes to support children who have experienced violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect. UNICEF’s child protection work promotes effective linkages between humanitarian and development programming and supports countries to strengthen their capacities and systems for mitigating risks, preparing for and responding to emergencies, and building resilience. UNICEF also leads the development of technical standards, guidance and advocacy efforts to support child protection actors in the field in delivering evidence-based, effective and high-quality programs to protect children.
The CPHA Team continually seeks to strengthen the evidence and data in all areas of Child Protection programming, and is committed to monitoring, evaluation, and results-based management. During the duration of the contract, the consultant will be responsible for a set of specific deliverables aiming at strengthening the CPHA programming related to planning, resource mobilization, monitoring and reporting, knowledge management, and evidence building
This consultancy, which will be hosted on the UNICEF-DRP GitHub, delivers a technology suite that takes outputs and figures from R scripts and makes them accessible to large language models (LLMs) for natural language querying. This approach ensures interoperability with cross-unit workflows, allowing various teams to leverage the tool regardless of their specific R script outputs. By transforming raw data into easily digestible insights, this work directly supports the Africa Data Strategy's shift "From Data to Insights," making data more accessible and useful for decision-making across the continent. This not only enhances technical assistance by improving data analysis capacity but also promotes knowledge exchange by fostering a shared, technology-driven approach to understanding child welfare data.
To support this growing portfolio, UNICEF is seeking support to:
• Strengthen global data infrastructure, analytics tools, and documentation of best practices
• Provide technical support to country offices and ministries of health to access, clean, and analyze routine data
• Finalize and scale country-specific data pipelines, dashboards, and analytics products
This role will be embedded within the MNCAH Data and Analytics team and will work closely with regional and country teams. The consultant will help close the gap between data and action, supporting more agile, accountable, and equitable health systems.

The Data Governance and Strategy unit (DGSU) in the CDO creates and supports implementation of safeguards to minimize risks and potential harms to children, UNICEF staff, beneficiaries, and donors associated with data and digital technology, ensuring a responsible and safe digital and data transformation. The DGSU implements robust governance of all forms of data at UNICEF, enabling the organization to leverage relevant data for better decision-making and outcomes for children. The DGSU supports country offices working with national partners in advancing data governance in national dialogue and policy making.
The successful implementation of the Policy and its corresponding procedures, guidance and tools requires the engagement of staff and affiliated personnel of all UNICEF divisions/offices and coherent understanding on personal data protection under the Policy. Para. 42 of the Policy states, “UNICEF shall provide training and take appropriate action to raise awareness so as to ensure the effective implementation of this Policy by its personnel, taking into account resource and logistics constraints.” Consequently, training and awareness raising are essential components to develop a common level of understanding of the protection and handling of personal data at UNICEF.
In order to fully design and support the roll-out of the UNICEF data protection programme, in particular to increase awareness and strengthen training and data protection education, UNICEF CDO needs to hire a data protection and privacy expert with strong experience on data protection, awareness raising and capacity building, to support the DGSU team.
The Data Protection and Privacy Specialist (country office support) will supervise the consultancy assignment.
The Chief Data Office (CDO) is tasked to support offices and divisions with the implementation of the Policy. For that purpose, it is centrally developing a data protection programme, including a robust data protection impact assessment (DPIA) framework, a set of tools, guidance, central records and training/awareness measures, to enable the organization to process personal data in compliance with the Policy and in respect of individuals’ rights to privacy. In addition, it is committed to promoting the responsible use of other sensitive data for children in line with the “Responsible Data for Children” principles and toolkit.

The immunisation team is developing an integrated package to promote data use for decision-making and provide timely and actionable data analytics to support global, national, and subnational advocacy and immunization delivery efforts. The package consists of a set of analytical products including subnational and monthly-level administrative datasets, and slide decks for visualizing subnational and monthly analytics, triangulated with other immunization-related data. These products will be used by a wide range of stakeholders for activities related to monitoring, planning and advocacy. When working with administrative data, there are often multiple data quality challenges that need to be addressed. As such, there is a need for support with cleaning data from administrative systems, compiling and reconciling shapefiles, and production of cleaned subnational and monthly-level databases to materialise this vision.
Another priority of the team is to support countries in strengthening health data analytics and data use in decision making through the Actionable Health Analytics for Decision-making (AHEAD) project which requires additional analytic capacity on the team. The consultancy will support build-out of the AHEAD analytics package and respond to custom analytics requests from the countries.
