This position is to work with the Health and Nutrition team (Goal Area 1) during approximately 10 months, to support the activities and strategies related to the promotion of healthy diets and the regulatory agenda on ultraprocessed foods, within the main working strategies at UNICEF Brazil: the UNICEF Seal, the Early Childhood Friendly Units initiative (UAPI) and Adolescent Friendly Units initiative (UAA).

The Caribbean region faces ongoing challenges in achieving universal access to safe and resilient WASH services. While basic coverage is generally high, significant gaps remain in rural areas, small island states, informal settlements, and vulnerable communities. Aging infrastructure, weak wastewater and fecal sludge management systems, limited financing, and fragmented governance continue to affect service quality, sustainability, and public health outcomes.
To address these challenges, stronger sector governance, sustainable financing, and institutional capacity are needed. UNICEF and its partners recognize that infrastructure investments alone are insufficient and emphasize the importance of strengthening human resources, sector leadership, climate-resilient planning, utility performance, and knowledge sharing. Regional cooperation, partnerships with academic institutions, and capacity-building initiatives are key to advancing resilient and safely managed WASH services across the Caribbean.
