UNICEF Pakistan has provided critical support to the Government of Sindh in rehabilitating schools, WASH facilities, and health infrastructure. Building on these efforts, UNICEF, with support from various donors, plans to further assist the government in the rehabilitation and construction of facilities across the education, health, and WASH sectors. Further, more specifically, greater support will be directed towards the education sector to strengthen school infrastructure, enhance learning conditions, and improve accessibility for students. Additionally, in Sindh, UNICEF serves as the grant agent for both the System Transformation Grant (STG) and the System Capacity Grant (SCG), funded by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE). Under the STG, the Sindh Learning Programme (SLP) has been launched as a four-year initiative targeting four districts: Dadu, Tando Allahyar, Tharparkar, and Umerkot. Key interventions under SLP include 1) Upgrading 50 primary schools to middle schools using prefabricated structures, incorporating pre-primary classrooms, separate latrines, and handwashing facilities for boys and girls.2) minor repairs and maintenance of 150 schools to enhance infrastructure and accessibility, ensuring a safer and more inclusive learning environment.
The Field Engineer/Consultant will provide technical support for planning, monitoring, supervision, quality assurance and field-level oversight of construction, rehabilitation, solarization and other related engineering activities in Sindh, with particular focus on the GPE-supported Sindh Learning Programme (SLP), especially Component 1. The assignment also allows for technical support to other UNICEF sectors, including Education, WASH and Health, where such support is required.
The purpose of this consultancy is to provide technical support to strengthen child protection preparedness, response and
recovery for children and families living in disaster- and climate-vulnerable communities in Oudomxay, Savannakhet and
Saravan province. The consultancy will contribute to the Child Protection component of the UNICEF-supported “Disaster
Risk Reduction for the Most Vulnerable Children” initiative, which seeks to strengthen child-sensitive disaster risk reduction
and the capacity of social service workforce and communities to prepare for and respond to emergencies. This consultancy
will contribute to the UNICEF Lao PDR Country Programme Document (CPD) 2027–2031, outcome 4: “By 2031, more
children and families in climate- and disaster-vulnerable areas are protected by child-sensitive risk information and early
warning systems and use climate-resilient WASH, health and education services,” and outcome 3, which aims to ensure that
adolescents, particularly those who are vulnerable and marginalized, use inclusive child protection and social protection
services.
The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has declared an outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease affecting Ituri and other affected or at-risk provinces. National authorities, with the support of humanitarian partners, have activated emergency coordination and response mechanisms to contain transmission and protect affected communities.
The outbreak is unfolding in a complex humanitarian environment marked by insecurity, population displacement, high mobility, constrained access to essential services and weak water, sanitation, hygiene and infection prevention and control systems. These conditions heighten the risk of transmission in health facilities and communities and require rapid, well-coordinated and technically rigorous WASH/IPC action.
The geographic expansion of the outbreak, the operational complexity of the response and the need to align interventions across national, provincial and health-zone levels require senior leadership. An experienced profile is therefore required to provide the strategic expertise, technical authority and convening capacity needed to lead UNICEF's WASH/IPC response and support Government-led coordination across affected and at-risk areas.
UNICEF Ukraine is seeking four committed and technically strong Health Officers to support the delivery of health and nutrition programmes for children and families in the field offices of Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro and Lviv.

The successful candidates will provide technical, operational and coordination support across programme planning, implementation, monitoring and partnership-building, contributing to both emergency response and longer-term health system strengthening efforts. They will work closely with government counterparts, health partners and UNICEF teams to improve access to quality child health, nutrition, immunization, early childhood development, mental health and rehabilitation services, particularly for the most vulnerable and conflict-affected populations. This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on the lives of children in Ukraine by helping to build more resilient, equitable and child-centered health systems at both local and national levels.

L'accès à des services d'assainissement gérés en toute sécurité demeure un défi majeur au Togo, particulièrement dans les
zones rurales et périurbaines où une proportion importante des ménages ne dispose toujours pas de ce niveau de service.
Malgré les progrès enregistrés ces dernières années grâce aux investissements du Gouvernement togolais et de ses
partenaires techniques et financiers, les contraintes financières auxquelles font face les ménages, les petites entreprises
d'assainissement et les institutions financières continuent de limiter les investissements dans le secteur.

un mécanisme pilote de Crédit Latrines reposant sur un fonds renouvelable (Revolving Fund). Ce mécanisme a permis de
faciliter l'accès des ménages vulnérables au financement des ouvrages d'assainissement, tout en renforçant les capacités
des institutions de microfinance et des acteurs privés impliqués dans la chaîne de valeur de l'assainissement.
