UNICEF Ethiopia is looking for a seasoned professional who supports the development, preparation, management, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the WASH programme within the country programme. The Specialist provides technical guidance and management support throughout the programming processes, to facilitate the administration and achievement of the WASH-related output results in the country programme.This assignment presents an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful impact while further developing your professional expertise. Taking up this assignment can be both motivating and rewarding.
Child wasting remains a major cause of preventable illness and death, requiring effective prevention, early identification, treatment, follow-up and relapse prevention across routine, fragile and humanitarian health systems. However, conflict, displacement, climate shocks, food insecurity and financing constraints often weaken service access, quality and continuity. Existing monitoring systems provide limited insight into service readiness, quality of care, referral completion, equity, supply continuity and populations missed by services, while data sources are often fragmented and poorly linked to decision-making. This initiative will strengthen the quality and performance of child wasting services by addressing system-level constraints and integrating quality improvement approaches into national health systems. Led by UNICEF’s Child Nutrition and Development Global Practice, the multi-country programme will support countries across Asia-Pacific and fragile and humanitarian settings through a common technical framework adapted to local contexts, in partnership with ministries of health, regional and country offices, and implementing partners.

Child wasting remains a persistent public health challenge in the Philippines, with low coverage of early identification and treatment services under the Philippine Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (PIMAM). While national policies and guidelines are in place, implementation gaps persist across service delivery, workforce capacity, data systems, supply chain reliability, and sustainable financing. The Child Nutrition Fund (CNF) Programme (2025–2029) supports the Government of the Philippines to accelerate reduction of wasting through five interlinked implementation components: 1. Improving access and uptake of nutrition services 2. Building a skilled and supported workforce 3. Strengthening nutrition data for action 4. Enabling reliable supply of essential nutrition supplies 5. Mobilising and optimizing nutrition financing Within this framework, UNICEF is supporting the nationwide scale-up of the PhilHealth SAM Outpatient Therapeutic Care (OTC) package, updating guidelines and capacities of service providers, strengthening PIMAM implementation across development and emergency contexts, and closing ongoing Simplified Approaches (SA) Operations Research, including Family MUAC and CHW-led treatment pilots. The Philippines through the Child Nutrition Fund channeled through UNICEF Philippines has committed to accrediting at least 2,011 primary health care facilities nationwide by 2029 under the PhilHealth SAM OTC package, alongside improvements in service utilization and admissions. Achieving these targets requires coordinated technical assistance that strengthens the wasting ecosystem across all five CNF components. This consultancy will therefore provide national technical support (capacity building, monitoring of program implementation, quality assurance, and documentation) to advance PIMAM scale-up across these components, while ensuring structured closure and policy translation of the Simplified Approaches Operations Research.
The purpose of this assignment is to support UNICEF and government partners in strengthening the enabling environment for safely managed sanitation financing in Nepal by assessing the sanitation financing landscape, identifying viable financing mechanisms and partnerships, addressing policy and institutional barriers, and developing practical approaches for mobilizing, tracking, and scaling sanitation investments.
UNICEF Mongolia seeks to establish a Long-Term Agreement (LTA) with qualified individual consultants to provide simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, written translation, and editing services between Mongolian and English (and vice versa) to the UNICEF Mongolia Country Office.
The LTA will be established for a two-year period, with services requested on an as-needed, call-down basis. It aims to ensure timely access to qualified language professionals, maintain the quality and consistency of language services, and streamline the engagement of consultants while reducing the need for repeated competitive selection processes for individual assignments.
