Gender equality is essential to realizing the mandate of UNICEF to uphold the rights of all children. UNICEF’s Gender Action Plan (GAP) 2022-25 elaborates the steps required to accelerate progress on gender equality across the five Goal Areas of the Strategic Plan - health and nutrition, education, child protection, protection and water and sanitation, and social protection - as well as within institutional systems and processes, with clear indicators and monitoring mechanisms to track change.
As mandated by the Executive Board of UNICEF, a report is prepared every year on the status of implementation of the GAP, to be presented at the annual session of the Board. The global annual report is based on Country Office annual reporting on GAP priorities across goal areas through the Results and Assessment Module, as well as using data from other corporate platforms like Vision and the Emergency Preparedness Platform. In addition to the annual report to the Board, UNICEF prepares reports for the UN System-Wide Action Plan on Gender Equality, the UN Gender Equality Action Plan, and for donors to the gender equality portfolio.
To support these reporting requirements, the Gender Equality Section of the Programme Group seeks a consultant to support the following tasks:
1) Support data quality assurance and aggregation for annual reporting
2) Facilitate the production of various gender reports to document gender results, challenges and lessons.
UNICEF Office of Innovation (OOI) and the UNICEF Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub are seeking two consultants to create and distribute compelling and engaging audio-visual content on innovation for children. The core focus of the roles is to develop, present and produce two pilot podcast series profiling leading voices in tech, social impact and innovation while also ensuring a pre-approved overall strategy, promotional plan and wrap up report.
The roles require expertise in podcast production and distribution and the ability to deliver high-quality products while working with a wide range of technical stakeholders.
The Product Designer will tackle design specific tasks assigned and estimated during regular sprint planning
sessions, in coordination with the Product Owner and Design Lead, using our Agile Project Management
Methodology. This consultancy will create and support the integration of an A/B testing framework into UNICEF's UX/UI design process. This work will contribute to the development of intuitive and accessible interfaces and features for UNICEF’s Drupal platform, as well as enhancing the UNICEF.org Design
System, which is an enterprise-level, variable and component based Figma library.
The expected results will include the participation in Sprint Planning and Sprint Demo sessions, along with full demonstration of the design task, and proper handover in Figma with notations for Product, Design, and Development teams, as noted above.
ICTD seeks to engage a consultant with deep experience in security architecture, cloud security, and secure engineering practices. The consultant will work closely with internal teams to design secure solutions, conduct assessments, develop hardened deployment templates, and automate security operations. This role will also support the integration of detection capabilities and contribute to the development of reusable security blueprints and governance models. The consultant will play a key role in operationalizing secure design principles across the organization’s digital ecosystem, ensuring that security is embedded by design and aligned with both technical and business objectives.
UNICEF will support the Government of Uganda to develop a concise, easy-to-use, and fully illustrated popular version of the Sanitation Design Manual that incorporates regional geographical realities and cultural practices, enabling masons and local implementers to construct safe, sustainable, and acceptable sanitation facilities with minimal reliance on technical supervision.
