ECA PSFR Cluster seeks a Direct Response Television (DRTV) Specialist to support ECA PSFR Cluster with DRTV market development, to implement the 2026/2027 DRTV activity constituting one campaign implemented in 2 waves:
- Wave 1: Mid-October until Mid-December 2026 and
- Wave 2: January 2027
Since 24 February 2022, the escalation of the war in Ukraine has severely affected children and families, leaving millions in need of humanitarian assistance and disrupting access to essential services such as health, education, WASH, and social protection. In response, UNICEF has implemented an emergency response while supporting recovery and strengthening national systems. High-quality, timely evidence and evaluation are essential to ensure programmes remain effective, accountable, and responsive to the evolving needs of children. To strengthen its evaluation function, the UNICEF Ukraine Country Office is recruiting an Evaluation Specialist (NO-C) to support the planning, implementation, and dissemination of evaluations and contribute to the office's evidence generation strategy.
The purpose of this assignment is to strengthen disaster risk financing (DRF) systems for social sectors in selected Pacific
Island Countries (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu) by improving the capacity of governments and
partners to mobilize and deliver financial resources effectively to protect children and essential services during shocks.
The consultancy will support UNICEF Pacific Multi-Country Office (MCO) to enhance its role as a strategic partner in DRF
by working closely with Ministries of Finance and line ministries responsible for education, health & nutrition, child
protection, WASH, and social protection to strengthen the integration of social sectors within DRF frameworks. This
includes assessing and improving shock-responsive delivery systems (“money-out”), identifying systemic bottlenecks, and
providing targeted technical support and initial capacity-building to ensure that financial resources translate into timely
and effective support for children.
The assignment will further contribute to elevating the role of social sectors within national DRF approaches, ensuring
that financing mechanisms explicitly account for the protection of essential services and the needs of children in disaster
contexts.
In parallel, the consultancy will facilitate engagement with key regional and international partners, including PCRIC, the
World Bank, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), to align UNICEF’s work
with broader DRF initiatives and promote coordinated, multi-sectoral approaches.
Finally, the consultancy will contribute to the development of donor-ready proposals and a UNICEF DRF roadmap,
ensuring that country-level engagement and systems improvements are translated into actionable strategies,
strengthened partnerships, and resource mobilization opportunities to better protect children from disaster impacts.
The consultancy focuses on coordination, system strengthening, and the use of data to inform programming. This consultancy will contribute to advancing SBC innovation by supporting evidence generation, strengthening feedback systems, and improving AAP data use, while working in close coordination with internal teams and partners. The role is designed to complement existing systems-strengthening efforts without duplicating core technical functions but will focus on coordination, data use, and programmatic application
The purpose of this assignment is to provide ongoing technical support to the MoES and its affiliated institutions for the development, finalization, and institutionalization of Competency-Based Education (CBE) Teaching and Learning Materials (TLMs) under Component 2 of the IsDB/GPE/OFID Project (Phase II) during Year 2 (30 July 2026 – 30 June 2027). Building on the CBE TLM framework (Concept), sample units, and author capacity established in Year 1, the consultant will help convert these foundations into a finalized, validated, and field-tested set of CBE-aligned TLM lessons, together with the normative and quality-assurance mechanisms required to sustain their development, production and distribution at scale.
