The purpose of the consultancy is to support country offices and partners to identify and assess relationships between sources of environmental lead exposure and blood lead levels.
The UNICEF Strategic Plan has elevated action on climate change and environmental degradation as an organizational priority, to be integrated throughout UNICEF programmes. To concretize this, UNICEF HQ is implementing its global Healthy Environments for Healthy Children (HEHC) programme framework in over 20 countries. To mobilize collection action, UNICEF and partners have founded a Children’s Environmental Health Collaborative to protect child health and development from the impact of climate change and environmental degradation.
Lead exposure is a silent but devastating environmental health issue, with far-reaching consequences for children's health and development. An estimated 1 in 3 children globally have blood lead levels that are of significant concern, contributing to an estimated 1.5 million deaths annually. In response to this crisis, the Partnership for a Lead-Free Future was launched in September 2024 by UNICEF, in collaboration with USAID, UNEP, WHO, the World Bank, Open Philanthropy, and other key stakeholders. The Partnership is the first-ever global, public-private coalition focused on ending childhood lead poisoning in LMICs by 2040. This initiative brings together governments, civil society, and the private sector to champion country-led efforts to eliminate lead from consumer products, improve industrial practices, and enforce lead mitigation standards. The Partnership for a Lead-Free Future is an accelerator partnership of UNICEF’s HEHC and is linked to the Children’s Environmental Health Collaborative.
The consultant will be responsible for providing technical support to the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation health emergencies prevention, preparedness and response activities on the ground. The consultant will support other UNICEF-supported activities across RBC divisions. This encompasses both direct programme work with government and support to teams working on health, nutrition and HIV.
The consultancy aims to provide specialized PCI DSS technical support, guide the design and implementation of PCI compliant solutions, support Country Offices throughout their compliance journey, and strengthen UNICEF’s global PCI governance, vendor engagement, and architecture alignment.
The UNICEF Learning Innovation Hub is seeking a consultant to support the implementation and scale-up of digital learning initiatives supporting the Center of Excellence in Bangkok, including UNICEF country programmes across the region, with a focus on the Learning Passport (LP) platform and the Accessible Digital Textbooks (ADT) initiative.
UNICEF works with governments and partners to strengthen digital learning ecosystems that expand access to quality education for all children, particularly those who are marginalized, out of school, or affected by emergencies. Across Asia Pacific, UNICEF is supporting countries to deploy and scale digital learning platforms such as the Learning Passport, while advancing the Accessible Digital Textbooks Initiative to ensure inclusive and accessible learning materials for all learners, including children with disabilities. The Learning Passport supports national digital learning platforms that enable curriculum delivery, teacher
professional development, and continuity of learning in both connected and low- and no-connectivity environments. The ADT initiative supports governments to develop accessible digital textbooks aligned with international accessibility standards and integrate them into national learning management systems. The consultant will provide technical guidance and targeted support for: (i) the implementation of the LP in Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan; (ii) the rollout of the Accessible Digital Textbooks initiative in Bhutan, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and other interested countries; and, (iii) technically support the
Digital Education Specialist with facilitating regional knowledge exchange and respond to country technical assistance requests for the continuity of learning using the LP and other digital learning interventions for outof-school children, displaced children and children affected by climate and other emergencies.
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfil their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up.
The Global Learning Innovation Hub under the UNICEF Office of Innovation is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Developer to join the Accessible Digital Textbooks (ADT) team. The ADT initiative transforms PDF textbooks into rich, accessible digital learning materials for children with and without disabilities. The selected consultant will take the lead on the continued development of ADT Studio — a TypeScript monorepo application that automates the production of accessible digital textbooks through AI-powered pipelines. This role is central to making educational content universally accessible and available to millions of children worldwide.
The ADT initiative converts PDF textbooks into structured, accessible digital content — including HTML storyboards, quizzes, glossaries, image captions, translations, and text-to-speech audio — packaged as self-contained web bundles, EPUBs, or WebPubs. The production pipeline is powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and controlled through a configuration-driven architecture that supports per-book customization of text classification, rendering strategies, and model settings.
ADT Studio is the successor to ADT Press, rebuilt as a TypeScript monorepo using AI-assisted development (Claude Code). It represents a significant architectural advancement: a two-level DAG pipeline model with a React frontend and Hono backend. The codebase is open-source, hosted on UNICEF’s GitHub, and designed for extensibility by third-party developers and country offices.
