UNICEF launched the MICS Foundational Learning Skills (FLS) module in 2017 as the first standardized, globally implemented household survey assessment of children’s foundational reading and math skills, contributing to SDG indicator 4.1.1(a). By 2025, more than 60 countries have collected or are preparing to collect comparable data using the module, helping to spotlight early grade learning and learning inequalities.
The purpose of this assignment is to develop a new assessment tool to measure minimum proficiency in mathematics at the end of primary school (SDG indicator 4.1.1b) that will complement the lower primary component of the FLM2.0, and to advice UNICEF on the integration of both components (lower and primary) for a comprehensive instrument to assess learning skills in MICS.
The Finance Specialist – Cash Transfer Programmes supports the Cash
Implementation Unit by providing dedicated operational finance expertise to ensure
that UNICEF’s cash transfer payments in Sudan are accurate, traceable,
compliant, and fully reconciled. Under the supervision of the CIU Cash Manager,
the role focuses on the financial execution and control of cash transfers delivered
through multiple FSPs and modalities, including bank transfers, mobile money,
smart cards, and other approved digital mechanisms.
The incumbent plays a critical role in payment processing, reconciliation, FSP
invoice verification, treasury monitoring, and payment verification follow-up,
ensuring alignment with UNICEF Financial Regulations and Rules, IPSAS,
HACT requirements when cash is disbursed via IPs, donor agreements, and
CBOS directives. By strengthening financial controls and supporting the timely
resolution of exceptions and discrepancies, the position directly contributes to risk
informed decision-making, the safeguarding of resources, and the uninterrupted
delivery of cash assistance to women and children affected by the Sudan emergency.
