|
United States
|
|
| The Risk Management in Programming and Safeguarding (RMPS) unit—part of the Programme Effectiveness Team (PET) within the Division of Data, Analytics, Planning and Monitoring (DAPM)—was established in 2024 to promote an integrated approach to risk management and safeguarding. RMPS is organized around four pillars:
1. Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) in Programming and Safeguarding
2. Complaints and Feedback Management
3. Programme Implementation Risk Management/HACT
4. Data Protection
Aligned with DAPM/PET’s mandate and in collaboration with PG, RMPS supports decision-making and organizational learning, enhancing the effectiveness and results of UNICEF and its partners to uphold children's rights. RMPS also works with the Chief Risk Officer to strengthen UNICEF’s enterprise risk management by fostering coordination across risk areas and integrating risk into programmatic, operational, and strategic planning.
Following the release of key regulatory documents – the Policy and Procedure on ESS in Programming (June 2025), the Policy on Safeguarding (March 2024, revised June 2025), and the forthcoming Procedure on Complaints and Feedback Management – RMPS has initiated the rollout of the Social and Environmental Safeguarding Framework.
The consultancy aims to support RMPS in implementing the Social and Environmental Safeguarding (SES) rollout and, in parallel, assist Regional and Country Offices in meeting institutional donor requirements—primarily from IFIs, KfW, and GCF—related to SES. The consultant will also help align RMPS’s work with other risk areas, including AAP and data protection, and support ESS/Safeguarding compliance across programmes and operations.
The consultancy will be supervised by RMPS in close coordination with relevant units within DAPM and other stakeholders. |
