The purpose of this consultancy is to support UNICEF Italy in strengthening the delivery and quality of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) for migrant and refugee children and adolescents, in particular through the coordination of the MHPSS Community of Practices.
UNICEF PFP has an ongoing requirement for complex services and for procurement guidance in a broad range of areas, including in the digital domain. Such areas include specialized innovative financing, fundraising services, market research, corporate social responsibility, corporate screening, IT, event delivery, and other areas as required. The incumbent will provide continuous guidance on procurement for fundraising and support the IF Hub with their contracting needs. The incumbent will be responsible for carrying out all procurement activities for assigned goods & service requirements, from planning through to supplier performance management.
Under the direct supervision of the Country Coordinator in Rome, Italy, the graphic designer is primarily responsible for supporting the production of branding and design of materials and publications for the Migrant and Refugee UNICFE National Response in Italy.
UNICEF’s Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) Division is in the process of transitioning from Geneva to Rome. While the division continues to maintain staff outposted to Bangkok, Panama, and New York, as well as personnel in Country Offices supporting partnerships and fundraising, the People and Culture (P&C) function must ensure the delivery of consistent, high-quality Human Resources services to all PFP staff and clients during a period of significant organizational change.
PFP is actively supporting the global Future Focus Initiative (FFI), and the relocation to Rome has introduced substantial and complex workforce implications. The division requires continued support for PFP staff relocation to Rome to ensure a smooth transition.
Given the changes and the ongoing transition to Rome with the need to maintain uninterrupted P&C operations, PFP requires additional P&C capacity to support staff during this period. The role will contribute to ensuring continuity of People and Culture services, compliance with policy and procedural requirements, and effective support to the division’s transformation, application of benefits and entitlement, with specific focus on the transition to Rome and other change management processes.
The consultant will provide technical support for the upcoming stages of methodological work in the development of survey modules on child protection and development topics. This will involve preparing materials, tools and protocols for the next stages of testing, providing on-site training for the implementation team, and participating in fieldwork as a
technical advisor. The modules under development include inclusive education, violence, parenting and adolescent
participation and empowerment.
UNICEF launched the MICS Foundational Learning Skills (FLS) module in 2017 as the first standardized, globally implemented household survey assessment of children’s foundational reading and math skills, contributing to SDG indicator 4.1.1(a). By 2025, more than 60 countries have collected or are preparing to collect comparable data using the module, helping to spotlight early grade learning and learning inequalities.
The purpose of this assignment is to develop a new assessment tool to measure minimum proficiency in mathematics at the end of primary school (SDG indicator 4.1.1b) that will complement the lower primary component of the FLM2.0, and to advice UNICEF on the integration of both components (lower and primary) for a comprehensive instrument to assess learning skills in MICS.
