The purpose of the Climate Policy and Evidence consultant is to assess the child-sensitivity of national climate policies, strengthen UNICEF’s technical policy support to governments, and contribute to advancing child-focused commitments in climate-related policy frameworks at all levels.
The Humanitarian Evaluation Effectiveness Portfolio (HEEP) within the Evaluation Office will be managing several L3 evaluations during the second half of 2025 and 2026. These include evaluations of UNICEF’s L3 (Level 3) responses in State of Palestine (SoP), Lebanon and Syria. In addition, HEEP will begin designing two new thematic evaluations: one focusing on UNICEF’s humanitarian access (evaluation of UNICEF’s Staying and Delivering) and one on UNICEF’s risk taking and risk management, in line with the forthcoming Plan of Global Evaluations (PGE). Aligned with EO’s vision to deliver more cost-efficient evaluations and ensure rapid turn-around of evaluation deliverables and in light of the limited capacity within HEEP to complete all the activities included in its work plan, EO is currently seeking a Humanitarian Evaluation Consultant (Senior Level) to support some of the portfolio’s most high-profile activities with a focus on evaluating the performance of sectoral and multisectoral programming during the responses, including Child Protection, Education and Gender-based violence in Emergencies, three of the areas that have often been marginalized during previous L3 activations. Under the supervision of the EO’s Senior Evaluation Specialist (Humanitarian), the consultant will provide for scheduled humanitarian evaluations (both L3 specific and thematic ones) and help strengthen the overall quality and utility of humanitarian evaluations across UNICEF. tand help strengthen the overall quality and utility of humanitarian evaluations across UNICEF
UNICEF is globally mandated to promote the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The UNICEF Strategic Plan 2026-2029 recognizes the critical role of localization and local governance, through local governments and actors, as accelerators for the realization of children’s rights.
Engaging with local governments and other local stakeholders supports and finances critical transformations in system-building and enhances local capacities. This contributes to improved outcomes for children and their families, ensuring their needs are prioritized and protected, especially those of the most marginalized. As a result, UNICEF has been engaging with local governments and actors for many years, across different entry points, including through UNICEF National Committees in high-income countries. Twenty-one National Committees reported working on different elements of local governance programming, aiming to further enhance results for children at the subnational and local level. The Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI) is one of the engagement platforms through which National Committees partner with local governments in many countries.
Since 2021, a new CFCI guidance document, developed and issued by PG Social Policy and Social Protection at HQ has been implemented in UNICEF National Committees. In parallel, reflection on the implementation by National Committees of a local governance approach beyond the CFCI methodology has been launched to ensure a strategic and tailored approach towards local governments, aligned with their national advocacy strategy. With the transition of the PG Social Policy and Social Protection Team at HQ to the newly established Center of Excellence, additional support will be required for the CFCI. This support is essential to ensure continuity of supervision and quality assurance of strategic activities implemented by the National Committees. It also enhances the coherence of activities implemented by Country Offices.
