L'UNICEF, en collaboration avec le Ministère de la Santé desire recruter un consultant national pour soutenir l'élaboration d'une stratégie nationale de maintenance des ECF et de la logistique roulante du PEV du Burkina. Cette mission fournira une feuille de route structurée pour la maintenance préventive et corrective, définira les rôles et responsabilités à tous les niveaux du système et proposera des mécanismes de financement et de suivi durables. Cette stratégie sera essentielle pour garantir la fiabilité de la chaîne du froid, prolonger la durée de vie des équipements et, en fin, préserver l'efficacité des vaccins pour tous les enfants du Burkina Faso.
UNICEF is globally mandated to promote the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The UNICEF Strategic Plan 2026-2029 recognizes the critical role of localization and local governance, through local governments and actors, as accelerators for the realization of children’s rights.
Engaging with local governments and other local stakeholders supports and finances critical transformations in system-building and enhances local capacities. This contributes to improved outcomes for children and their families, ensuring their needs are prioritized and protected, especially those of the most marginalized. As a result, UNICEF has been engaging with local governments and actors for many years, across different entry points, including through UNICEF National Committees in high-income countries. Twenty-one National Committees reported working on different elements of local governance programming, aiming to further enhance results for children at the subnational and local level. The Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI) is one of the engagement platforms through which National Committees partner with local governments in many countries.
Since 2021, a new CFCI guidance document, developed and issued by PG Social Policy and Social Protection at HQ has been implemented in UNICEF National Committees. In parallel, reflection on the implementation by National Committees of a local governance approach beyond the CFCI methodology has been launched to ensure a strategic and tailored approach towards local governments, aligned with their national advocacy strategy. With the transition of the PG Social Policy and Social Protection Team at HQ to the newly established Center of Excellence, additional support will be required for the CFCI. This support is essential to ensure continuity of supervision and quality assurance of strategic activities implemented by the National Committees. It also enhances the coherence of activities implemented by Country Offices.
