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.

The Guinea-Bissau education system is beset by several structural constraints that severely limit children and youth’s ability to exercise their right to a quality education. Compounding this problem are the lack of public spaces for children and youth to congregate and engage in sports and recreation activities. While the population of Bissau has grown rapidly, more than doubling from 224,789 in 2021 to 525,478 in 2023 (and increasing from 78,676 to 183,917 for the 10-18 age group over the same period), the number of school-based or public multi-sports sports complexes has not increased. Furthermore, existing public recreation infrastructure is not effectively managed nor well-maintained, resulting in low-quality facilities that offer little programming or activities, particularly for marginalized groups. Therefore, children and young people in Guinea-Bissau are beset by interlocking challenges: the low quality and availability of education not only constrains the development of key academic and life skills and limits future opportunities, but youth also have few places outside of school to interact and grow and develop transversal and transferable skills.UNICEF, with funding from the French Development Agency (AFD), will implement a project to increase retention and completion rates, improve physical health, and strengthen transversal skills for students at the Agostinho Neto Secondary School, the Kwame Nkrumah Secondary School, the Rui Barcelo da Cunha secondary school, and the Salvador Allende Primary School, as well as children and youth in the Bairro Reno neighbourhood of Bissau (with a focus on adolescent girls and other marginalized groups).To achieve this goal, UNICEF will rehabilitate sports and academic infrastructure and develop a community management model to oversee the efficient administration of sports facilities and provide high-quality Sports for Development programming.
Under the overall guidance and supervision of the Education Specialist, the consultant will support the implementation of two flagship education programmes aimed at strengthening skills development in children and youth, as well as school safety in Greece: the U Talent programme, implemented in partnership with DYPA, and the Safe Schools Alliance anti-bullying initiative, a joint initiative with Piraeus Bank, implemented in collaboration with Regional Education Directorates and academic institutions.
Guinea is a lower-middle-income country facing significant challenges in child development and deprivation. According to the latest Human Development Index (HDI) report, Guinea has a Human Development Index of 0.480, ranking 178th out of 191 countries in 2023, reflecting its ongoing struggle with poverty and social development challenges. Since 1984, UNICEF has worked with the government and various partners, including UN agencies, NGOs, and community-based organizations, to improve conditions for children. The population of Guinea is projected to be around 15.2 million in 2025, with 63.4% living in rural areas and women comprising approximately 50.3% of the population. The annual growth rate remains steady at about 2.8%. Children under the age of 18 account for roughly 51% of the population, underscoring the critical need for child-focused interventions in areas such as health, education, and protection (World Population Review). The vision of the 2024-2028 country programme is: "A Guinea where children, especially adolescent girls and children from the most vulnerable families in the most disadvantaged geographical areas, have equitable opportunities for sustainable access to essential social services and quality social protection, and can reach their full potential, including in a context of climate-related vulnerabilities and emergencies". Currently, Guinea faces regularly natural disasters, such as flooding, which displace populations, damage infrastructure, and exacerbate the already challenging humanitarian conditions. These ongoing challenges necessitate continued support and local resilience-building measures to mitigate their impact on the population. The UNICEF Guinea office is looking for committed and creative professionals to make a lasting difference for Guinean children.

Climate change disproportionately affects women and girls, exacerbating existing gender inequalities and increasing vulnerabilities during climate-related shocks and stresses. Structural barriers, discriminatory gender norms, unequal access to resources and services, and limited participation in decision-making processes place women and girls at heightened risk in the context of climate change and disasters. Women and girls often face unequal access to climate information, early warning systems, and recovery support, while also carrying disproportionate caregiving responsibilities during crises.
Certain groups, including adolescent girls, women and girls with disabilities, Indigenous populations, migrant communities, and those living in poverty, may experience compounded risks due to intersecting forms of discrimination and exclusion. At the same time, women and girls are critical agents of change and play a central role in strengthening climate resilience, adaptation, and community recovery efforts.
UNICEF’s Strategic Plan 2026–2029, Gender Equality Action Plan (2026–2039), and Sustainability and Climate Change Action Plan (2023-2030) emphasize the importance of integrating gender equality and adolescent-responsive approaches across climate and resilience programming. UNICEF’s programming increasingly recognizes that climate action must move beyond gender-responsive approaches toward gender-responsive programming that addresses unequal power relations, harmful social norms, and systemic barriers limiting women’s and girls’ participation, leadership, and access to opportunities.
