The United Nations Children’s Fund Jordan Country Office in Amman seeks a dedicated, experienced, highly motivated, and proactive Humanitarian Affairs Officer who will report to the Humanitarian Affairs Manager (P4),
The Humanitarian Affairs Officer contributes to strengthening and accelerating country humanitarian results to ensure there are needs-based and compliant with Core Commitment for Children (CCC) standards.
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, 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 all 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.
Join UNICEF as an International Consultant to support the adaptation of the 2023 WHO guideline on the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema (acute malnutrition) in infants and children under 5 years to the Syrian context. You will contribute to the promotion of children’s rights in Syria, by 1. Reviewing the current national CMAM guideline to identify strengths and implementation gaps. 2. Based on the implementation gap analysis from task 1 above, conducting a stakeholder meeting to adapt the 2023 WHO guidelines to the Syrian context. 3. Updating the existing CMAM implementation tools including registers, patient cards, monitoring and reporting tools, training materials in alignment with the updated CMAM guideline.
Considering the new guidance for country programme planning, the findings of the 2022 audit report, the oversight and quality assurance demand driven by the programme components and the need for routine application of informed programming principles, ICO needs to scale up its PME functions across the office both in depth and coverage. This calls for an improved and integrated budget planning, monitoring and management, more robust oversight of HACT and implementing partners, regular field presence to monitor programme delivery and quality, improved and institutionalized outcome and impact monitoring of the interventions/programmes and evidence generation through study, research, and evaluation efforts in line with accountability and informed programming principles. Accordingly, ICO is considering increasing the required capacity by having a PME specialist, a PME officer and a senior budget associate on board. While the PM officer position will have a dotted line to the Deputy Representative Operations and the finance officer for a harmonized and coordinated oversight of the financial aspects of the HACT, it will also support addressing the growing demand from the donor community for improved monitoring of the deliverables and results.
This position is only open for national candidates.
The UNICEF Middle East and North Africa Regional Office (MENARO) serves the needs of children in 20 countries in partnership with 16 UNICEF country offices (COs) within the region. The region is home to a culturally diverse group of low, middle- and high-income countries, and UNICEF’s work similarly covers a range of emergency response and development-oriented activities across the full spectrum of thematic areas. Within this complex environment, partnerships are essential to fulfill UNICEF's work to promote children's rights everywhere. This consultancy will enhance MENARO's partnership activities with public sector partners through completion of the activities further detailed within the scope of work. Under the supervision of the Donor Relations Manager, the consultant will provide technical support for engagement with key public donors, specifically the US and Germany.
