The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has declared an outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease affecting Ituri and other affected or at-risk provinces. National authorities, with the support of humanitarian partners, have activated emergency coordination and response mechanisms to contain transmission and protect affected communities.
The outbreak is unfolding in a complex humanitarian environment marked by insecurity, population displacement, high mobility, constrained access to essential services and weak water, sanitation, hygiene and infection prevention and control systems. These conditions heighten the risk of transmission in health facilities and communities and require rapid, well-coordinated and technically rigorous WASH/IPC action.
The geographic expansion of the outbreak, the operational complexity of the response and the need to align interventions across national, provincial and health-zone levels require senior leadership. An experienced profile is therefore required to provide the strategic expertise, technical authority and convening capacity needed to lead UNICEF's WASH/IPC response and support Government-led coordination across affected and at-risk areas.

The successful candidates will provide technical, operational and coordination support across programme planning, implementation, monitoring and partnership-building, contributing to both emergency response and longer-term health system strengthening efforts. They will work closely with government counterparts, health partners and UNICEF teams to improve access to quality child health, nutrition, immunization, early childhood development, mental health and rehabilitation services, particularly for the most vulnerable and conflict-affected populations. This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on the lives of children in Ukraine by helping to build more resilient, equitable and child-centered health systems at both local and national levels.

The purpose of the consultancy is to provide technical support to the Ministry of Health and Human Services (MoHHS) in Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI), to strengthen breastfeeding promotion through improving implementation of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative in two main hospitals and their surrounding communities. Background Promotion of breastfeeding is a high impact intervention that plays a crucial role in ensuring children receive adequate nourishment. Breastfed children have a significantly reduced risk for both wasting and later childhood overweight or obesity. In RMI, one in every three children under five years of age are stunted. Nearly 5% of children in the same age group are overweight and another 4% are wasted. Sub-optimal infant feeding, including limited breastfeeding, is considered to be a critical driver of malnutrition in this context. In 1991, UNICEF and WHO jointly launched the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BHFI), which consolidated evidence on promoting breastfeeding within health facilities. The BFHI included “Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding”, which were subsequently updated in guidelines published in 2018. These guidelines titled, “Protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding” are intended for use in health facilities providing maternity and newborn services to promote breastfeeding. As outlined in UNICEF Pacific Multi-Country Program Document (MCPD) for 2023- 2027, UNICEF is committed to supporting the RMI and other Pacific island countries in strengthening capacities for improved, affordable, and equitable quality primary health care and nutrition services, including during emergencies. Within this framework, UNICEF works with MoHs and other partners to ensure that the health care systems are conducive to protect, promote and support breastfeeding practices The BFHI was previously implemented in the major hospital (Majuro) in RMI.

The Government of Uzbekistan is advancing education reforms to support competency-based education (CBE) and improve learning outcomes. Through the Smart-ED Project for Improving the Quality and Efficiency of Education Services, UNICEF, in partnership with national counterparts, is supporting efforts to strengthen systems for evaluating and developing teachers and school leaders across preschool and general secondary education, including the introduction of performance appraisal mechanisms.
Uzbekistan has established professional standards, teacher attestation, and school leader certification systems, providing a strong foundation for accountability, career progression, and professional growth. As reforms continue, there is an opportunity to further strengthen these systems to better support the competencies required for effective teaching and leadership in a CBE environment.
International experience shows that effective teacher quality systems combine periodic attestation with continuous performance appraisal that provides regular feedback, mentoring, and professional development opportunities. Building on ongoing reforms, this assignment will strengthen the existing teacher attestation system and develop a performance appraisal framework for teachers and school leaders aligned with professional standards, competency-based education, and the national education quality assurance framework.
