As custodian to the Pasifika Call to Action, the Pacific Regional Council for Early Childhood Development (PRC4ECD) unites Ministers and Permanent Secretaries from education, health, finance, and social welfare in 15 PICTs (Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tokelau, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu), and encourages countries to tailor the Call to Action to their specific contexts, and to drive collaboration among leaders, policymakers, and program implementers to address gaps in health, nutrition, protection, care, learning and stimulation that affect the development of young children across the region. These efforts align with broader regional priorities, such as the 2050 Blue Pacific Strategy, the Pacific Culture Strategy, and sectoral goals set by Pacific Ministers of Education, Health, and Women. Together, these frameworks also underscore the importance of parenting engagement as a central element in the holistic development of young children. Since 2017, The Pacific region has made important progress in strengthening national and regional ECD systems, including through the Pasifika Call to Action on ECD, national ECD policies, multisectoral coordination mechanisms, workforce development, monitoring systems, and support for parents and communities. In 2025, the Pacific ECD Forum Leaders have strengthened the regional mandate for Early Childhood Development by endorsing ECD as a standing agenda item within the People Centred Development thematic area of the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent. More recently, the PIF Women Leaders Meeting endorsed the importance of ECD as a cross-sectoral priority linked to gender equality, social inclusion, resilience, child wellbeing, and long-term human development.

Working day-to-day within NCLE, under the technical guidance of the Director of NCLE (or the designated iSRS focal point) and the contract management of UNICEF, the Consultant provides dedicated technical coordination to set up and scale up the integrated specimen referral system. The Consultant helps NCLE finalize the iSRS framework and tools, deliver the national ToT and the provincial-to-district cascade in the 14 scale-up provinces, put the transport, packaging and data arrangements in place, and monitor and report on system performance against PSRF indicator 2.3.3.

The overall purpose of the consultancy is to provide continuous technical and coordination support to strengthen maternal nutrition and micronutrient interventions in the Philippines. The consultancy forms part of UNICEF’s support to the Department of Health and the National Nutrition Council to strengthen maternal health and nutrition, as well as food fortification efforts, through a more coordinated, coherent, and accelerated approach. The Maternal Health and Nutrition Acceleration Plan provides an important framework for accelerating priority interventions, strengthening implementation, and improving coordination across maternal health and nutrition programs. In parallel, there is a need to strengthen and update the strategic direction for food fortification as a distinct intervention area. The development of a Food Fortification Strategy will provide a dedicated framework for setting priorities, strengthening coordination, addressing implementation and regulatory gaps, improving monitoring and quality assurance, and sustaining and scaling food fortification interventions. While the two plans will remain distinct, the Food Fortification Strategy will be aligned with relevant priorities under the Maternal Health and Nutrition Acceleration Plan, particularly by ensuring that food fortification contributes to improving the intake of essential micronutrients, including iron, folic acid, and iodine, among populations at risk of deficiencies, including pregnant women. The consultant will primarily work with DOH-DPCB and NNC-NPPD

UNICEF is committed to ensuring that all children and young people acquire the knowledge and skills needed to learn, thrive, and transition to further education, decent work, and active citizenship. However, many adolescents, particularly those affected by conflict and displacement, face barriers to formal education due to interrupted schooling, age-grade mismatches, lack of documentation, and legal restrictions. Flexible learning pathways such as accelerated learning, bridging programmes, alternative delivery models, and links to vocational training can help address these challenges, but their implementation remains inconsistent.
This assignment will address three key gaps: limited documentation of effective practices, barriers to certification and progression, and a lack of practical guidance for displacement settings. Drawing on evidence from PROSPECTS partnership countries, the consultancy will identify and analyze promising approaches, examine certification and transition pathways, and develop practical guidance to support UNICEF country offices and partners in expanding quality, flexible education opportunities for adolescents in fragile and displacement-affected contexts.
