UNICEF Sierra Leone is recruiting a Supply and Logistics Manager to coordinate planning, management and oversight of effective and efficient supply chain management of goods, services and construction works for UNICEF programmes and the Government; with direct impact on program goals and results for children.
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.
