To provide technical and advisory support to the Principal Secretary, State Department for Children Services, to strengthen child protection and child-sensitive social protection systems, policies, and programmes, and to advance child related issues in key national and sectoral priorities.

UNICEF’s work relies on putting children, young people, their families and communities at the center of its actions. UNICEF promotes evidence-based, people-centered and locally owned development and humanitarian initiatives. This is especially important in settings affected by climate shocks, environmental degradation and persistent gender inequalities, which shape behaviours, access to services and community resilience. Through its Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) programming, UNICEF helps ensure that programmes and services are more responsive, inclusive and sustainable. This approach also makes public action more inclusive and strengthens relationships between communities, public authorities, and service providers. By building trust, it supports greater uptake of current programmes and services while also helping systems become more resilient to future shocks, including climate-related disasters, environmental crises and public health emergencies. It also strengthens social capital and collective efficacy, reinforcing community cohesion, and people’s ability to adapt and respond together.
This assignment aims to strengthen UNICEF’s knowledge management on gender equality and support the implementation of the UGEAP 2026–2029. The consultant will develop, curate and disseminate gender-related knowledge products, facilitate knowledge exchange and capacity building, and promote mutual learning across UNICEF to improve the visibility, accessibility and use of gender-related tools, evidence and good practices.
UNICEF is seeking for a Consultant who will coordinate the TeamOne community engagement, strengthening participation, knowledge exchange and collaboration across the global network while supporting agile processes for digital advisory services.
