The UNICEF Nepal Country Office is seeking an experienced and dynamic candidate for the position of Nutrition Officer for Lumbini Province based. This is a fixed-term appointment at the NO-B level, based in Bhairahawa field office, Nepal.
Under the general guidance of the supervisor, the Social Policy officer is accountable for providing technical support and assistance in all stages of social policy programming and related advocacy from strategic planning and formulation to delivery of concrete and sustainable results. This includes programmes aimed at improving (a) public policies to reduce child poverty; (b) social protection coverage and impact on children; (c) the transparency, adequacy, equity and efficiency of child-focused public investments and financial management; and (d) governance, decentralization and accountability measures to increase public participation and the quality, equity and coverage of social services.
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.
The Social Policy Officer (Cash Transfers) will support the design, implementation, and monitoring of the various cash transfer programmes implemented by UNICEF Ukraine, including multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA), cash-for-winterization assistance, and complementary social protection programming in form of ‘top-ups’.

The Social Policy Officer (Cash Transfers) will be an integral part of the Humanitarian Cash Transfer (HCT) team and will positively contribute to the provision of much-needed cash assistance to vulnerable households with children in need of basic assistance, seasonal and complementary sectoral cash support.
