The primary purpose of this consultancy is to enable UNICEF immunization team to lead in organizing Hub calls and convening meetings, such as the Demand Hub Steering Committee (DHSC), monthly meetings and face to face meetings of the Expanded Partners; produce documentation of actions agreed upon; organize agreed number of technical sessions to build capacity on the new emerging areas in demand and supporting the Demand Hub leadership team to convene and discuss strategic discussion to guide the Demand Hub.
The consultant will:
1. Institutionalize creative, and where appropriate innovative, approaches (e.g., in impact evaluation methods, processes, or overall evaluation data approaches) for all programme evaluations -and other portfolios as possible- to maximize the timeliness, efficiency, rigor cost‐efficiency and/or rigour and credibility of the evaluation
2. Use data science to generating new meaningful and timely evidence for evaluations with secondary data sources. Develop code for evaluations that allows customization for rapid analysis of secondary and non-traditional sources (e.g. big data such as mobile phone data, satellite imagery, tapping on internal textual monitoring and reporting data) of data using machine learning and artificial intelligence can strengthen the evidence derived from traditional evaluation methods. .
3. Improve efficiencies in evaluations by developing data processing solutions that can be replicated across evaluations thematic and data types. The resources and time spent in conducting data processing and analytics tasks can be reduced significantly by automating tasks that are often repeated across evaluations. For example, facilitating the identification and analysis of relevant evaluation reports during the planning and scoping phases; reviewing programme documents, monitoring, reporting and expenditure data.
The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (the Alliance) is a global network of operational agencies, academic institutions, policymakers, donors and practitioners that facilitates inter-agency technical collaboration on child protection in all humanitarian contexts. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) co-leads the Alliance with rotating NGO, currently the International Rescue Committee and Hurras Network.

The purpose of the assignment is to support implementing activities of the L&D WG guided by the Alliance Strategic Brief: Sustaining Child Protection in a Changing Humanitarian Landscape as well as the Alliance CPHA L&D Roadmap, while also taking into account the development of a new strategy to be formulated over the course of 2026 to guide the subsequent strategic period commencing mid-2026
This consultancy will be responsible for maintaining and aligning the GMF indicator architecture to support the design and refinement of systems, workflows, and processes, while also developing analytical products that facilitate the effective use of GMF data by Country Offices (COs), Regional Offices (ROs), and Headquarters (HQ). The consultant will also contribute to the successful delivery of both the annual planning and reporting cycle and the quadrennial strategic planning cycle through corporate PMR systems, thereby advancing UNICEF’s strategic objectives and organizational effectiveness.
The consultancy will be supervised by the Programme Manager of the OSE Monitoring and Results Management Unit and will work in close coordination with other units, divisions, and offices, especially the Organizational Performance and Systems Unit, the Strategic Planning and Analytics Unit, the Digital Impact Division, and UNICEF’s global SIGNAL Monitoring Technical Team.
The consultant will work under the supervision of the NY-based Climate, Energy, Environment and DRR (CEED) Programme Officer and in close collaboration with other members of the climate finance unit. The consultant would support the climate finance unit in three areas: Climate Finance for Young People, Climate Finance Systems Building and Curate and Disseminate Technical Green Climate Fund Knowledge Products.
