TA – Fundraising Specialist (Individual Giving), P-3, 12 months, Regional Office (MENARO -> ECAMENA RO), Amman-JordanSection: Partnerships and Resource Mobilization Supervisor: Market Development Manager, P4Background:ECAMENA Region presents significant potential for Individual Giving (IG) and public fundraising. As part of the Country Office Sustainability strategy, digital connectivity, evolving payment infrastructure, and changing donor behaviours are creating new opportunities to diversify UNICEF's resource mobilization base and increase flexible funding for children. Over the past several years, the MENA Regional Office has explored regional approaches to IG through the MENA Private Sector Fundraising (PSFR) Cluster and related digital fundraising initiatives.
