The Social Assistance Family Package (SAFP) is a cornerstone initiative under Cambodia’s National Social Protection Policy Framework (2024–2035), designed to uplift poor and vulnerable households by enhancing human capital and building longterm resilience. Administered by the National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF) in coordination with key ministries and subnational administrations, the SAFP consolidates multiple targeted cash transfer schemes—including support for pregnant women, young children, the elderly, persons with disabilities, school children, and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Following
its official launch in April 2024, the SAFP has transitioned from emergency COVID-19 cash transfers to a more integrated
and sustainable social protection model. A pivotal advancement is the development of the Cash Plus model for piloting, which links financial assistance with referrals to essential services such as disability inclusion and gender responsive healthcare, education and vocational training. The programme also aims to enhance household resilience to climate-related and other shocks. To effectively operationalize the Social Assistance Family Package (SAFP)—a complex, multi-sectoral programme under
Cambodia’s National Social Protection Policy Framework—and to support the development and enhancement of related applications and systems, a National IT Specialist is essential. This specialist will assist the National Social Assistance Fund
(NSAF) in designing and implementing robust digital solutions, including mobile applications for the Family Package Cash Plus referral and social services, shock responsive social assistance, as well as modules for monitoring, A key focus will be
ensuring interoperability with other social protection platforms and other relevant social protection systems, such as monitoring and evaluation systems, TVET, the Disability Management Information System (DMIS), and other relevant databases.
UNICEF is seeking a Social Policy Specialist (Social Protection Systems) based in Nairobi to support the expansion of inclusive, child-sensitive and shock-resilient social protection systems. The role contributes to UNICEF’s Strategic Plan by strengthening national systems through technical assistance, capacity development, policy advice, and knowledge management. Working within the Global Programme Division, the Specialist will support Country and Regional Offices and their partners, with a particular focus on Sub‑Saharan Africa, to improve programme design, implementation, and monitoring. The position also engages with regional and global partners to advance policy reform, evidence generation, and partnerships that enhance equitable access to social protection for children and families.
The Comoros Country Office operates in a remote, and operationally complex environment, characterized by the recurrence of cyclical humanitarian crises alongside ongoing development programming, requiring sustained agility, adaptability, and responsiveness in workforce planning and delivery.

In parallel, the transition to a multi-country office (MCO) configuration calls for enhanced coordination, collaboration, and strategic alignment across locations.
The purpose of the assignment is to provide confidential, demand-based psychosocial support services to UNICEF personnel, including short-term individual counselling, crisis support following critical incidents or acute stress events, and structured wellbeing workshops.

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
