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 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) commit all governments to comprehensive, integrated and universal transformations by 2030. Countries are required to mobilise efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind. Without adequate and sustained investments in health, the SDGs will not be realised. One way of doing this is to influence the size, equity, efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of public spending at national and sub-national level. In UNICEF, this is done through the Public Finance for Children (PF4C) stream of work, which is central to UNICEF’s work globally. Many of the obstacles to improving child outcomes can be directly traced to public financial management (PFM) challenges, which makes it relevant to all programmatic pillars. As financial sustainability is one of the cornerstones to achieve durable and efficient systems of public programmes, UNICEF engages with governments to influence the mobilization, allocation and utilization of domestic financial resources for greater, more equitable results for children. UNICEF Supply Division’s Financing Partnerships and Solutions Strategy specifically supports governments to increase and improve the use of public financial resources to achieve a successful transition towards sustainable self-financing of essential supplies for children (“Country Supply Financing”). With the reduction in aid globally, the emphasis is now on not only mobilising domestic financing for essential supplies but also ensuring efficient use of available resources. One way of achieving this is by creating efficiencies in procurement of child health commodities.
Digital engagement is essential to UNICEF's response to the evolving landscape of communication, fundraising, and advocacy. In Belarus, UNICEF maintains a presence across most social media platforms.

This initiative aims to inspire them to advocate for positive behaviors and practices. The office seeks a specialist who can assist in tailoring content for various social media channels while incorporating a youth-oriented perspective. Consultative support will be required during the final stages of content creation to ensure compliance with UNICEF's policies.
