UNICEF`s Office of Innovation seeks a professional consultant to strengthen learning and development (L&D) within the office during a critical transition period. This consultancy will support the design, coordination, and implementation of a learning strategy aligned with OOI’s priorities and staff development needs.
The consultant will work closely with the OOI Learning Committee to translate learning insights (including from the 2025 AI Learning Survey, 2024 the Global Staff Survey and prior needs assessments) into targeted, inclusive, and engaging learning interventions. The role requires both strategic thinking and hands-on execution, from developing frameworks and learning pathways to coordinating knowledge-sharing initiatives such as conversation rounds and peer-learning sessions.
The intersection of the global climate crisis and rising inequalities increasingly threatens children’s health, well-being, and futures, particularly in vulnerable settings. While adaptation is an urgent priority, financing continues to fall short of actual needs. The public sector has played a critical role in mobilizing resources for climate action; however, its full potential remains untapped in advancing climate action through the social sectors—education, health, nutrition, protection, water and sanitation, most vital for building resilience among children and their communities.
The Division of Private Fundraising Partnerships (PFP) and Public Partnerships Division (PPD) support the Sustainability and Climate Change Action Plan (SCAP) and the upcoming Strategic Plan 2026-2030 by enhancing strategic engagement with public sector partners and donors, focusing on sustaining and boosting climate income generation. The purpose of this consultancy assignment is to support the Chief of Climate Partnerships in PFP and the Deputy Director in PPD by coordinating with donor-facing desks in PPD and other divisions on climate engagement, fundraising, and influencing public sector donors for an enhanced public-private climate partnerships approach.
This remote international consultancy is designed to deliver high-quality content and strategic advice on climate-resilient initiatives, helping UNICEF strengthen its private sector engagement on climate action and establish itself as a leading convener in this space.
The consultant will contribute to shaping and advancing UNICEF’s global climate partnerships agenda by ensuring that adaptation and resilience-building approaches are well articulated, evidence-based, and effectively integrated into private sector climate strategies.
By providing thought leadership, technical inputs, and advocacy support, the consultancy will help position UNICEF as a key partner in climate adaptation for children, particularly within the frameworks of global climate finance, the UNFCCC process, and high-level events such as COP. The assignment will directly support the Climate Partnerships team in the Private Sector Fundraising and Partnerships (PSFP) Section in Geneva, in developing compelling narratives, tools, and mechanisms that attract and sustain private sector investments in climate-resilient social services, with a focus on ensuring safe and sustainable services for every child in a changing climate.
The Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement, UNFCCC analyses, and recent World Bank/OECD studies converge on one conclusion: mobilizing private finance at scale is indispensable to achieving climate goals. Yet major bottlenecks persist, including policy and regulatory uncertainty, high perceived risks, lack of risk-mitigation instruments, limited bankable project pipelines, weak local financial sector capacity, and insufficient investment in adaptation and social services.
To bridge these gaps, UNICEF aims to develop a comprehensive proposal that brings together public, philanthropic, and private sector actors to co-create financing mechanisms capable of unlocking investment in climate adaptation, mitigation, and resilience, particularly in social sectors that directly affect children and communities.
