Nepal's commitment to inclusive education, the School Education Sector Plan (SESP), and broader efforts to improve foundational learning create an important opportunity to strengthen the inclusiveness of early grade learning assessments. This includes reviewing assessment tools, administration procedures, accommodations, language-related considerations, data collection approaches, and reporting practices to ensure that assessments generate valid, reliable and equitable information on learning outcomes across different learning groups, including children with disabilities and speakers of other languages.
To support this effort, UNICEF is hiring a consultant to provide technical expertise on disability-inclusive and linguistically responsive assessment practices and develop recommendations, tools, and guidance to strengthen the inclusiveness of early grade learning assessments.
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.

UNICEF works to realize every child’s rights, everywhere. Grounded in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and guided by the Sustainable Development Goals, UNICEF supports resilient systems and communities through risk-informed programming, social protection and preparedness. As humanitarian and development financing becomes increasingly constrained, UNICEF’s Division of Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) plays a critical role in mobilizing private sector partnerships and resources to drive results for children.
According to UNICEF Afghanistan MICS 2022-2023 data, 29.8 per cent of children aged 3-17 years have some type of functional difficulty.3 According to evidence, challenges in analysis and design of programmes for people and children with disabilities limited their access to services and equitable outcomes. A lack of specific indicators to track progress for people and children with disabilities hampers the ability to measure and prioritize their needs effectively.
This assessment is needed because children with disabilities in Afghanistan face heightened and often invisible barriers to accessing essential services, including health, nutrition, education, child protection, and social protection, particularly in a context of increasing poverty, displacement, and restrictions on participation. At the same time, disability data and systematic analysis remain limited, constraining evidence-based planning, equitable targeting, and accountability to Leave No One Behind commitments. By combining a situation analysis with an internal readiness assessment, UNICEF Afghanistan and partners will be better positioned to identify practical entry points for disability inclusion, strengthen program design and implementation, and ensure that interventions reach and benefit children with disabilities in a measurable and sustainable way.
Child marriage and early union remain significant challenges in Viet Nam, particularly among ethnic minority girls, rural communities and poorer households. The prevalence increased from 10.6% in 2014 to 14.6% in 2021, affecting millions of girls. Child marriage is driven by a combination of poverty, school dropout, limited access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information and services, and harmful gender and social norms. At the same time, it further exacerbates gender inequality, increases the risk of adolescent pregnancy, limits educational and economic opportunities, and contributes to the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Although Viet Nam has laws prohibiting underage marriage, enforcement is inconsistent and harmful social norms continue to sustain the practice.
