The vision of the UNICEF Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub (WASH Hub) is a global
home for building, accelerating and scaling transformational climate resilient solutions for a
WASH secure future of universal and equitable access to services, addressing the full ambition of the SDG6. WASH Hub will source, pilot and scale transformational and frontier climate resilient solutions that respond to key programmatic challenges that, if solved, will unlock faster progress for a water secure future for children and young people. One of those solutions is Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) technology, a geophysical method that uses electromagnetic induction to map sustainable deep groundwater sources.
The Consultant will support the WASH Hub by outlining the scaling pathway, approach and key considerations for the Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) solution, to support multi-country and multi-region scale.
The Division of Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP), based in Geneva, aims to achieve sustainable impact for children – income and influence at scale – by maximizing UNICEF's private fundraising, partnerships, and engagement activities, including work with National Committees, regional, and country offices, for the realization of children's rights. The Humanitarian Funding Unit within the Private Sector Fundraising and Partnerships (PSFP) section of PFP supports National Committees and Private Sector Fundraising (PSFR) countries and steers global efforts across the organization to maximize funding opportunities through and for humanitarian crises and sudden-onset disasters.
Over the last 5 years, on average 66% of private sector funding has gone to only 3 HAC appeals – many of them media-covered emergencies. Although we will continue to leverage media-driven crises, our universal mandate requires a more sustainable and equitable distribution of funding across emergencies, especially for Chronically Underfunded Emergencies (CUEs). Chronically Underfunded Emergencies are crises marked by sustained humanitarian needs that often span years or even decades. These emergencies typically occur in regions affected by chronic displacement, ongoing conflicts, or recurring natural disasters such as drought.
Closing the funding gap for chronically underfunded emergencies from the private sector demands bold action and seamless collaboration across UNICEF.
It is in this regard that UNICEF’s Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) Division is launching the Global Emergency Alliance for Children, a pioneering platform to mobilize leading businesses for sustained, flexible support to children affected by protracted and sudden-onset crises. The Alliance aims to reduce the funding gap for crises by leveraging corporate resources, expertise, and influence to deliver measurable impact for children worldwide.

The Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) is an international household survey programme developed and supported by UNICEF. MICS is designed to collect data on key indicators that are used to assess the situation of children and women. Over the past three decades, MICS has continuously evolved to respond to changing data needs, expanding from 28 indicators in the first round in the mid-1990s to more than 250 indicators in the current seventh round, and has become a key source of data on child protection, early childhood education, and a major source of data on child health and nutrition. In addition to being a data collection tool to generate data for monitoring the progress towards national goals and global commitments for promoting the welfare of children, MICS provided valuable data for MDG and recently for SDG monitoring and reporting.
Under the overall supervision of the Household Survey Specialist, the Global Blood Testing Consultant has the responsibility for finalising the standard MICS questionnaire modules and associated protocols. In collaboration with the Global MICS Team in UNICEF Headquarters (HQ) and Regional Offices (ROs), and the respective UNICEF Country Offices (COs), as well the UNICEF Programme Group staff on Climate, Environment, Energy & Disaster and national partners, the Consultant will support the preparation, implementation, and completion of up to three MICS surveys (or similar UNICEF-supported survey) in relation to the blood testing component.

Designs and protocols will follow those established for other components of the MICS Programme. The Consultant will work together with the Global MICS Team’s experts on sampling, data processing, and household survey support.
As part of the MICS programme, UNICEF continues to strengthen its MICS support mechanism at all levels, so that implementing partners in countries can receive the required level of technical assistance on a timely basis at critical survey stages and are in a better position to support the implementing partner. The 7th round of the MICS programme (MICS7) was launched in March 2023 and there are already 40 planned and ongoing MICS7 surveys and potentially 20-30 more surveys in the pipeline. There are also 7 surveys from the 6th round of the MICS programme that are still in data processing or report finalisation stages.
A very important element of MICS design and implementation is sampling, which is a very specialized field of work. Excellent sampling support is needed during the design, implementation, and reporting stages of all surveys.
As currently there is no sufficient funding to cover all planned activities, some deliverables are planned to be completed only if additional resources become available.

The Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) is an international household survey programme developed and supported by UNICEF.

Over the past three decades, MICS has continuously evolved to respond to changing data needs, expanding from 28 indicators in the first round in the mid-1990s to more than 250 indicators in the current seventh round, and has become a key source of data on child protection, early childhood education, and a major source of data on child health and nutrition.

As part of the MICS programme, UNICEF continues to strengthen its MICS support mechanism at all levels, so that implementing partners in countries can receive the required level of technical assistance on a timely basis at critical survey stages and are in a better position to support the implementing partner.
