The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.

Considering the new guidance for country programme planning, the findings of the 2022 audit report, the oversight and quality assurance demand driven by the programme components and the need for routine application of informed programming principles, ICO needs to scale up its PME functions across the office both in depth and coverage. This calls for an improved and integrated budget planning, monitoring and management, more robust oversight of HACT and implementing partners, regular field presence to monitor programme delivery and quality, improved and institutionalized outcome and impact monitoring of the interventions/programmes and evidence generation through study, research, and evaluation efforts in line with accountability and informed programming principles. Accordingly, ICO is considering increasing the required capacity by having a PME specialist, a PME officer and a senior budget associate on board. While the PM officer position will have a dotted line to the Deputy Representative Operations and the finance officer for a harmonized and coordinated oversight of the financial aspects of the HACT, it will also support addressing the growing demand from the donor community for improved monitoring of the deliverables and results.
