In response to these challenges, UNICEF is undertaking a research program aimed at contributing to policy discussions and the development of actionable responses to better protect children’s rights in the context of the debt crisis in lower and lower-middle income countries. This research seeks to (i) assess and articulate the impacts of the current debt situation on children and (ii) explore policy approaches to debt management and restructuring that prioritize child outcomes and the long-term benefits of investing in human capital.
To support this work UNICEF is seeking a subject matter expert to develop a background paper as a foundation of a chapter for a final book to investigate the role of IMF social safeguarding approaches in protecting and promoting child development.
UNICEF Pacific is in search of a dedicated and proactive national or international Consultant. The consultancy is for a period of 97 days (83 remote and 14 in country) spread over 7 months. The consultancy is open to both national and international applicants and is expected to be home-based with 14 days at country level.
