On 21 August 2024, UNICEF initiated a Level 3 Corporate Emergency scale-up in countries affected by outbreaks of mpox. This followed the declaration by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) of a public health emergency of continental security on 13 August and the declaration by the World Health Organization (WHO) of a public health emergency of international concern on 14 August.
The mpox outbreak is placing further strain on the overburdened health system and social services in the affected countries (Burundi, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda). Furthermore, the mpox outbreak is occurring concurrently with additional outbreaks of cholera and recently Marburg, which are having a significant impact on several countries in the East and Southern Africa region.
The current situation has necessitated a significant expansion of PSEA initiatives, particularly in light of the rising risk of SEA in this complex humanitarian emergency. Factors such as heightened vulnerability among the population, accelerated recruitment of frontline personnel, and the scarcity of functional complaint mechanisms have contributed to this necessity.
Under the supervision of the Technology for Development (T4D) Specialist, the position of Technology for Development Officer will support in advancement of the overall Digital Transformation agenda of the office.
