The Private Sector Fundraising and Partnerships Section (PSFP) within the UNICEF Division of Private Fundraising and
Partnerships (PFP) works with National Committees and UNICEF Country Offices to maximize revenue and drive income
growth. Inside PSFP, the Virtual Hub is an incubator serving as the digital function of 16 markets across MENA, ECARO

The Public Partnerships Division’s International Financial Institutions Team supports UNICEF’s work by managing partnerships with International Financial Institutions including the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and Regional Development Banks, some of UNICEF’s most important and multi-faceted external partnerships.
UNICEF is scaling up its partnerships with IFIs – resulting in strategic and operational partnerships in every region in over 50 countries as well as mobilizing over $1 billion in resources annually. This consultancy will support the expanding work of the PPD IFIs team, by providing strategic partnership and IFI expertise to refine UNICEF’s engagement.
In a global context characterized by ever shrinking international development assistance, especially in countries passing the middle- and high-income threshold, UNICEF country offices have increasingly been relying on funding from the private sector to develop and sustain critical programmatic interventions for the most vulnerable children in their own countries. Moreover, business and other key private entities are increasingly becoming critical partners in addressing key child rights violations and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) more broadly.
Over the past decade, over twenty UNICEF country offices have established structured private sector fundraising (PSFR) operations as part of their country office model, allowing them to generate significant funding not only for their own country programme, but also for the rest of the organization, including donor orphan countries in their own regions.
In this context, in 2021 UNICEF established a financial instrument in partnership with the World Bank to raise additional financing for investment in private sector fundraising as a pilot project limited to an amount of $50 million. To meet its obligations with the World Bank, UNICEF needs to produce annual narrative report on the impact on children’s lives that this investment has indirectly contributed to by enabling to raise more funds from the private sector.
