The Guinea-Bissau education system is beset by several structural constraints that severely limit children and youth’s ability to exercise their right to a quality education. Compounding this problem are the lack of public spaces for children and youth to congregate and engage in sports and recreation activities. While the population of Bissau has grown rapidly, more than doubling from 224,789 in 2021 to 525,478 in 2023 (and increasing from 78,676 to 183,917 for the 10-18 age group over the same period), the number of school-based or public multi-sports sports complexes has not increased. Furthermore, existing public recreation infrastructure is not effectively managed nor well-maintained, resulting in low-quality facilities that offer little programming or activities, particularly for marginalized groups. Therefore, children and young people in Guinea-Bissau are beset by interlocking challenges: the low quality and availability of education not only constrains the development of key academic and life skills and limits future opportunities, but youth also have few places outside of school to interact and grow and develop transversal and transferable skills.UNICEF, with funding from the French Development Agency (AFD), will implement a project to increase retention and completion rates, improve physical health, and strengthen transversal skills for students at the Agostinho Neto Secondary School, the Kwame Nkrumah Secondary School, the Rui Barcelo da Cunha secondary school, and the Salvador Allende Primary School, as well as children and youth in the Bairro Reno neighbourhood of Bissau (with a focus on adolescent girls and other marginalized groups).To achieve this goal, UNICEF will rehabilitate sports and academic infrastructure and develop a community management model to oversee the efficient administration of sports facilities and provide high-quality Sports for Development programming.
UNICEF Cameroon CO is seeking a passionate and committed Education Specialist to provide technical guidance and management support throughout the programming processes to facilitate the administration and achievement of results on education programmes/projects to improve learning outcomes and equitable and inclusive education, especially for children who are marginalized, disadvantaged and excluded in society.
La mission fondamentale de l’UNICEF est de promouvoir les droits de chaque enfant, partout et dans toutes ses interventions — programmes, plaidoyer et opérations. La stratégie d’équité, qui met l’accent sur les enfants et les familles les plus défavorisés et exclus, traduit cet engagement en actions concrètes.
Pour l’UNICEF, l’équité signifie que tous les enfants ont la possibilité de survivre, de se développer et d’atteindre leur plein potentiel, sans discrimination, biais ni favoritisme. Lorsqu’un enfant fait face à des inégalités — sociales, politiques, économiques, civiques ou culturelles — ses droits sont compromis.

Conformément à la Convention Internationale des Droits de l’Enfant, l’accueil institutionnel est envisagé comme une solution ultime. Néanmoins, face à des environnements familiaux critiques, cette mesure de protection de remplacement devient une nécessité temporaire pour garantir la sécurité de l'enfant. En Tunisie, le ministère des Affaires Sociales (MAS) assume cette mission de protection en accueillant annuellement des centaines d’enfants au sein de ses établissements spécialisés. Ces derniers ont pour mission de garantir un accompagnement individualisé et continu, s'étendant de l'admission de l'enfant jusqu'à sa réintégration familiale, tout en assurant un suivi post-réintégration rigoureux pour consolider la stabilité de son environnement.
Cette consultation vise à renforcer la qualité de prise en charge des enfants accueillis dans les centres à travers la définition d’un référentiel de compétences pour les auxiliaires de vie auprès d’enfants, adapté à la diversité des contextes d’intervention et l’élaboration d’un plan de formation ciblé.

Au sein du Bureau de pays de l’UNICEF en Algérie, ce poste est classé au niveau NO-C(Officier national) et relève du Représentant adjoint. Le/La titulaire assure la direction technique du portefeuille des politiques sociales et de la protection sociale, et supervise le personnel ainsi que les consultants, selon les besoins. L’Algérie est un pays à revenu intermédiaire de la tranche supérieure, caractérisé par une importante population d’enfants et de jeunes (environ 38 % de la population a moins de 19ans). La pauvreté monétaire y est faible, mais la pauvreté multidimensionnelle des enfants est estimée à environ 19 % (CNESE, 2019), atteignant près de 36 % dans les ménages les plus défavorisés et présentant de fortes disparités territoriales. Les dépenses sociales sont significatives — environ 19 % du budget de l’État est consacré aux transferts sociaux — et une réforme ambitieuse du budget axée sur les programmes et la performance (loi organique relative aux lois de finances, 2018 ; entrée en vigueur en2023) est en cours, parallèlement aux réformes de la protection sociale. Dans ce contexte, la mesure de la pauvreté des enfants, les finances publiques en faveur de l’enfance (PF4C), la protection sociale sensible aux enfants et la gouvernance constituent le coeur du portefeuille, en étroite collaboration avec les partenaires nationaux tels que le CNESE, le ministère des Finances, le ministère de la Solidarité nationale et les secteurs sociaux. Le poste appuie également les liens entre développement et action humanitaire, y compris une contribution émergente, en cours de définition, des politiques sociales à la réponse en faveur des réfugiés sahraouis accueillis dans les camps de Tindouf. Le WASH ne fait pas partie du portefeuille des politiques sociales en Algérie.
