UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save
children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential,
from early childhood through adolescence.
At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what
we do for as long as we are needed. Promoting the rights of every child is not
just a job – it is a calling.
UNICEF is a place where careers are built. We offer our
staff diverse opportunities for professional and personal development that will
help them reinforce a sense of purpose while serving children and communities
across the world. We welcome everyone who wants to belong and grow in a diverse
and passionate culture, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits
package.
Under the direct supervision and guidance of the Deputy Representative Operations, the incumbent will be responsible for managing and monitoring all rehabilitation and construction activities in the Country Office (School Wash infrastructure; ECD reference centers; Second Chance Education Centers, child friendly spaces, etc.) and providing technical support to UNICEF Programs/Operations on construction and rehabilitation activities.
In partnership with the South African Department of Basic Education (DBE), The Education Outcomes Fund (EOF) launched the South Africa ECCE Outcomes Fund (“Fund 1.0”) in December 2025. Over three years, five implementing partners (IPs) will open around 1.4k new Early learning programmes (ELPs) and support around 600 existing ones throughout the country. The Outcomes fund is a form of outcomes-based financing, wherein payment to IPs is dependent on their progress towards pre-specified target outcomes. Under this model, EOF, IPs, and pre-financers providing working capital and performance management to the IPs, will frequently collect monitoring and evaluation data related to the interventions.
Fund 1.0 was developed as a way to learn about how to improve ECCE quality, to provide space for innovation, and as an opportunity for the DBE to broaden partnerships with non-state ECCE providers. Towards the scaling objectives of the 2030 ECD strategy and as outlined in the Bana Pele Blueprint, the DBE and EOF are interested in surfacing learnings from Fund 1.0 to inform the design of a future outcomes fund (“ELP Fund 2.0”). To support that effort, EOF is looking to collaborate with a consultant who will serve as a full-time member of the South Africa country team, to lead the learning, scaling, and evidence synthesis agenda for Fund 1.0.
