The Division of Data, Analytics, Planning and Monitoring (DAPM) is responsible for driving, shaping and guiding UNICEF’s evidence-informed analysis, corporate and country planning, programme implementation and related risk management, monitoring, knowledge management and organizational performance. As such, DAPM enables the organization to deliver on results in a more coherent manner, based on agile and contextualized programming processes, and on data, evidence, and analytics, as well as the application of human-rights based and results-based approaches.
Within DAPM, the Programme Effectiveness Team (PET) leads, regulates and coordinates the development and issuance of organization-wide policies, procedures, standards, guidance, systems, tools and platforms to strengthen programme effectiveness across all contexts, including programme planning, implementation and related risk management, safeguarding, monitoring, organizational performance, knowledge management, at all levels. In doing so, PET engages with all divisions/offices across HQ as well as with all regional offices, UN agencies, funds and programmes, specialized agencies, other technical organizations and the UN Development Coordination Office.
The Help Desk and Rollout consultant will provide end-user support, training, and system rollout assistance for UNICEF’s corporate programme systems including RAM, eTools, UNPP, PRP and CPX. The consultant will ensure that system users receive timely support and guidance. This role is critical in maintaining high user satisfaction, ensuring smooth transitions during system upgrades or rollouts, and capturing lessons learned for continuous improvement.
The consultant will ensure business continuity and user adoption of the corporate digital platforms of the Office of Evidence and System of UNICEF —eTools (ePD, PRP, FMM, FAM, Action Points, eWorkplanning) and the UN Partner Portal (UNPP)—which are critical for programme implementation and partnership management.
This includes strengthening governance mechanisms, resolving system incidents, coordinating enhancements, leading rollout stability, and supporting country offices and partners through training, communication, and direct guidance. The consultant will collaborate closely with business owners, ICTD teams, and regional focal points to streamline user support and accelerate platform adoption globally.
The Programme Specialist (Digital Research) will be a central part of the Digital Engagement and Protection unit, supporting its flagship project Disrupting Harm and help coordinate research projects across the unit's portfolio.

MICS enables countries to produce statistically sound and internationally comparable estimates of a range of indicators on the situation of children, women and their families, in areas such as health, education, early childhood development, child protection, nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene. For many countries, MICS surveys are among the most important sources of data used for situation analyses, policy decisions, programme interventions, and for informing the public about the situation of children and women.
Currently, the MICS programme is in its 7th round and over 50 surveys are already formally listed as part of MICS7: Just over 20 have or are completing fieldwork, with the remaining still in the design phase. The number of MICS7 surveys is expected to increase by 10-20% in 2026 mainly due to closure of USAID’s Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) program and a few other countries currently in the process of finalizing the Memorandum of Understanding documents.
Current work on the questionnaire architecture and content of standard MICS7 questionnaires is nearly completed and 8 regional/global Survey Design and 5 Data Processing Workshops have been completed so far. Current and future MICS participating country/survey teams will need additional technical support on:
• ongoing and future MICS surveys including planning, sample design, questionnaire customisation, pre-test of questionnaires, customisation of tabulation plans, fieldworkers training, fieldwork monitoring, data analysis and report drafting, and dissemination, and
• planning and organisation of any potential local, regional, or global MICS Survey Design, Data Processing and Data Interpretation and Further Analysis workshops.

Data Collection Unit (DCU) (DAPM/D&A) recommends CSWeb for secure transfer of the data (questionnaires) from the field to the central office for further analysis for MICS programme. CSWeb is the tool developed by US Census Bureau to support the CAPI data transfer with CSPro software. UNICEF IT supported installation and hosting of the CSWeb at UNCEF servers. Currently CSWeb Server version 7.7 is hosted at UNICEF servers. An update to the new version of the server is needed to host the requests of the survey teams to use the latest version of the CSPro. UNICEF seeks to engage the services of the consultant, under the direct supervision of UNICEF’s DCU (MICS) Data Processing team, to upgrade the current CSWeb platform to 8.0, create 10 new instances to be used for the MICS survey teams, and 3 months of maintenance to ensure that the CSWeb and its instances are running properly

The Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) Programme is UNICEF’s flagship household survey, providing internationally comparable, statistically rigorous data on the situation of children and women. Managed globally by UNICEF’s Data Collection Unit in Data, Analytics, Planning and Monitoring Division (DAPM), MICS supports more than 100 countries with technical assistance, capacity building, and data quality assurance.
With the growing number of ongoing and planned surveys, and a new funding modality centered on country resources, effective program coordination is critical to ensure the timely implementation of survey activities, efficient use of funds, and consistent coordination across regional and country offices.
MICS is a national government-led activity, with UNICEF providing technical assistance and limited financial support. Given the current dramatic reduction in donor funding and constrained national fiscal space, the consultant will focus on assessing the broader financial sustainability of MICS, including funding from governments, donors, and other partners. The consultant will analyse how MICS is financed across different sources to support strategic planning and resource mobilization.
The purpose of this consultancy is therefore to assess and articulate the extent to which MICS can and should respond to the changing global survey landscape, and under what conditions—institutional, technical, and financial—such an expanded role would be viable and sustainable. The work will examine how MICS could contribute to maintaining continuity in global demographic and health statistics while reinforcing existing national data infrastructures and avoiding the creation of parallel systems.

In today's dynamic landscape of survey and census activities, digital data collection has become the established standard procedure. However, with a wide array of tools designed for various applications, including household surveys, face-to-face interactions, and telephone surveys, the decision-making process around tool selection has become a complex task. Currently, UNICEF's headquarters, regional and country offices independently make these selections without access to a comprehensive overview of the respective advantages and disadvantages.
Recognizing the critical importance of well-informed tool choices in this digital age, the primary objective of this consultancy is to conduct a thorough and detailed review of the digital data collection tools available today. These versatile tools are compatible with a variety of platforms and offer unique capabilities. The purpose is to perform a comprehensive assessment that will cover technical specifications for each tool, providing insight into their complexities, strengths, and areas for improvement, while also encompassing practical recommendations. These will include best practices concerning ease of use, associated costs, training resources, and technical support. The desired outcome of this consultancy is to offer clear guidance on which digital data collection tools are best suited for specific data collection activities. By pursuing this informed approach, UNICEF aims to not only prevent the potential selection of less suitable or inappropriate tools but also ensure the highest standards of efficiency, data security, and child protection in the realm of digital data collection.

The Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) is an international household survey programme developed and supported by UNICEF. MICS is designed to collect data on key indicators that are used to assess the situation of children and women. Over the past three decades, MICS has continuously evolved to respond to changing data needs, expanding from 28 indicators in the first round in the mid-1990s to more than 250 indicators in the current seventh round, and has become a key source of data on child protection, early childhood education, and a major source of data on child health and nutrition. In addition to being a data collection tool to generate data for monitoring the progress towards national goals and global commitments for promoting the welfare of children, MICS provided valuable data for MDG and recently for SDG monitoring and reporting.
Under the overall supervision of the Household Survey Specialist, the Global Blood Testing Consultant has the responsibility for finalising the standard MICS questionnaire modules and associated protocols. In collaboration with the Global MICS Team in UNICEF Headquarters (HQ) and Regional Offices (ROs), and the respective UNICEF Country Offices (COs), as well the UNICEF Programme Group staff on Climate, Environment, Energy & Disaster and national partners, the Consultant will support the preparation, implementation, and completion of up to three MICS surveys (or similar UNICEF-supported survey) in relation to the blood testing component. When possible, the consultant will further provide input to UNICEF’s global efforts and support to data collection including blood sample, outside the MICS Programme.
Designs and protocols will follow those established for other components of the MICS Programme. The Consultant will work together with the Global MICS Team’s experts on sampling, data processing, and household survey support.
