UNICEF supports vulnerable children and women in over 20 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region. Country Offices and national governments develop multi-year Country Programmes to address child rights gaps among the most vulnerable children.
At the end of the programme cycle, Country Programme Evaluation assesses strategic aspects for accountability and learning. Managed by Regional Evaluation Advisors and conducted by external evaluation team, the evaluation inform the next programme cycle. In MENA, evaluations are planned for Libya and Palestine in 2025, and Algeria, Egypt, and Jordan in 2026.
Country Programme Evaluation covers the entire programme over multiple years. UNICEF’s internal systems collect and manage large volumes of data, but this data has been underutilized in evaluations. AI technologies, like machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP), can automate analyses, enhancing decision-making and understanding of programme results.
AI use in UNICEF evaluations is emerging, aiming to improve accuracy, efficiency, and depth. NLP has been tested for identifying themes, extracting insights, and detecting trends in evaluations. It also transcribes and analyzes interviews and meetings, and conducts sentiment analysis on social media data. The MENA Regional Office is piloting for an evaluation synthesis. The office is now planning to expand AI use in Country Programme Evaluations.
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.
We are seeking an intern to assist in various data analysis priorities of the Giga initiative, a joint partnership between UNICEF and ITU. The intern will collaborate with the Data & Mapping product team, Country engagement teams, as well as external partners to develop innovative products and data solutions for the Giga Initiative.
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfil their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
Under the supervision of the Business Intelligence Officer, the Database Associate will manage the processing of accurate and timely data, ensuring data integrity and consistency across the various systems used by UNICEF.
The Supply and Logistics section in preparation for the action plan to respond to the key issues raised during the Peer review and Audit 2022 alongside the high volume of ongoing procurement and Logistics in correlation with the upcoming end year activities, the section will soon be lacking with the absence of its one staff as consequence of retirement. The section is therefore in need of an intern to support activities.
