UNICEF was established in 1946 to supply emergency relief to millions of children suffering in the aftermath of World War II. The organization still functions to ease the suffering of millions of children in emergency situations across the world. UNICEF also focuses on the protection and promotion of child rights, working for the survival, protection, education and healthy development of every child. At the crossroads of Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Morocco is a middle-income country but with a steadily growing economy. As a result, Morocco is seen by many member states as a strategic country given its geographical location, political stability and overall progress in human development resulting in member states main priorities shifting to expanding commercial and economic ties and de-prioritizing human capital investments. It is in this context that UNICEF Morocco sees an opportunity to diversify sources of income and develop strategic partnerships with the private sector and its different stakeholders to reduce disparities, improve the situation of children and protect their rights. Globally, UNICEF recognizes the private sector as a vital partner in driving sustainable change for children. Through collaboration with multinational corporations and national companies UNICEF builds partnerships that combine financial support, innovation, and responsible business practices. The interactions will take different forms ranging from mobilizing resources (corporate philanthropy), promoting positive changes in business practices through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), supporting programmes for children and encouraging innovations.

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.
UNICEF Centre of Excellence for Climate Resilience for Children is seeking a consultant to support the development, implementation, and operationalization of gender-responsive climate resilience programming across policy, systems strengthening, sectoral programming, and institutional capacity development.
