In 2022, Regional Advocacy & Communications and PFP-RSC teams worked on a Business to Business (B2B) communication toolkit with Red Havas. The toolkit was drafted to support PSFR countries and the RO to develop strategies to communicate better with a business audience. The toolkit includes guidance on media approaches (business); social media engagement (LinkedIn, X) and speaking opportunities (regional conferences).
To implement this work, regional LinkedIn profiles were initiated at the end of 2022. To continue its outreach to business prospects and High-Value donors, digital communications consultant will be assigned to monitor and manage those and other social media profiles to further position UNICEF as thought leader and a partner of choice and to strategically raise awareness and engage business audience on child rights.
Also, the consultant will support the inclusion of our advocacy priorities from a CRB perspective to ensure that we can urge business partners, and the business ecosystems, to improve their practices to respect and promote children rights.

Under the supervision of the Chief Health Section, the Primary Health Care (PHC) Specialist is responsible for managing, coordinating, and implementing the EU-funded Ezaka ho Tomady PHC project across six regions of Madagascar. This includes the priority regions of Diana, Vakinankaratra, Haute Matsiatra, and Atsimo Atsinanana, as well as the regions of the "Pacte vert project," Androy and Anosy. The project’s goal is to improve access to and the use of quality health services, particularly for mothers, children, adolescents (especially girls), and vulnerable populations. The focus is on enhancing maternal, neonatal, child, and adolescent healthcare at basic health facilities and district hospitals.
The PHC Specialist maintains technical communication with the European Union Delegation and works closely with the other components of the “UE Santé - Ezaka ho Tomady” program, especially the coordination and operational research teams. They oversee the implementation of the PHC project and contribute to monitoring the overall program through periodic coordination meetings with the EU Delegation’s Technical Team and government counterparts.
The PHC Specialist supervises project staff, including District Technical Assistance, Hospital Doctors, Consultants, and NGOs. They also guide cross-functional contributions from central-level staff. Collaboration with UNICEF's Health Section ensures alignment with UNICEF's reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) objectives. The PHC Specialist identifies obstacles to project progress, proposes solutions, conducts field visits, and participates in technical and steering committees. They ensure compliance with donor financial requirements and produce necessary reports.

The Chief supports country office programming processes by providing expert technical advice and operational support to country office colleagues and internal and external partners and stakeholders to ensure that adolescent development and participation established under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, international treaties/framework and UN intergovernmental bodies, are integrated in UNICEF’s advocacy, policies, programmes and humanitarian work.
The Sierra Leone Education Innovation Challenge (SLEIC) programme is a partnership between the Government of Sierra Leone, outcome funders, education delivery partners and social investors. Five different delivery partners have been selected to support 325 schools across five implementation lots to improve learning outcomes for 136,000 children in partnership with school leadership and teachers in accordance with the Basic Education curriculum. The program will run for nine school terms, starting September 2022 and ending in August 2025. The aim is to generate evidence to inform which interventions are the most effective in Sierra Leone context, which can then be scaled up by Government and donors. Using a result-based financing approach, service providers are expected to build sustainable capacity in schools, targeting interventions that improve learning beyond the life of the programme.
In addition to the SLEIC programme, the Education Outcomes Fund is working with the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE) to set up an outcomes fund that will support the rapid expansion of early childhood education (ECE) provision through community early childhood development (ECD) centres while ensuring that the ECE services provided are high quality and support holistic child development. The implementation of this program is expected to run from Spring 2025 to the end of 2028
