The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the Organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give more children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
At UNICEF Colombia we are looking for a Programme Associate for Water, Sanitation and Hygene (WASH) with at least 6 years of working experience implementing participation tools and developing community projects. We are looking for someone who is passionate about UNICEF mission, with a high interest in humanitarian work, and active commitment and availability to face situations in emergency contexts.
The purpose of this consultancy is to support the UNICEF Central African Republic Country Office in the preparation of a submission to the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) pre-sessional working group, ahead of the review of the State Party report submitted by the Government of the Central African Republic.
The submission will provide the Committee with independent, evidence-based information on the situation of children’s rights in the Central African Republic, highlighting progress achieved, key challenges and priority issues requiring attention.
The assignment will contribute to strengthening the quality of the dialogue between the Committee and the State Party by identifying critical gaps, emerging issues and priority areas for action in the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Particular attention will be given to children affected by conflict, displacement, violence, poverty and limited access to essential services, which remain central features of the national context.
The submission will also support the Committee in identifying key questions and recommendations to guide the dialogue with the Government of the Central African Republic and inform future concluding observations.
UNICEF’s Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) Division is in the process of transitioning from Geneva to Rome. While the division continues to maintain staff outposted to Bangkok, Panama, and New York, as well as personnel in Country Offices supporting partnerships and fundraising, the People and Culture (P&C) function must ensure the delivery of consistent, high-quality Human Resources services to all PFP staff and clients during a period of significant organizational change.
PFP is actively supporting the global Future Focus Initiative (FFI), and the relocation to Rome has introduced substantial and complex workforce implications. The division requires continued support for PFP staff relocation to Rome to ensure a smooth transition.
Given the changes and the ongoing transition to Rome with the need to maintain uninterrupted P&C operations, PFP requires additional P&C capacity to support staff during this period. The role will contribute to ensuring continuity of People and Culture services, compliance with policy and procedural requirements, and effective support to the division’s transformation, application of benefits and entitlement, with specific focus on the transition to Rome and other change management processes.
The Supply Chain Officer will support UNICEF’s Supply Chain Digitalization strategy by helping ensure visibility needs are met through key systems (VISION/SAP, Info Hub, InSight), supporting the progressive availability of supply data and intelligence via digital solutions, and strengthening capacities within the supply community in supply intelligence and digital dexterity.
