Consultant International/ passage préparatoire à l’échelle du Sanitation Programme Facility(SPF)/innovation crédit-latrine,section Survie/Développement d'Enfant/WASH,Togo au bureau,1.7 Mois 596778 Togo
L'accès à des services d'assainissement gérés en toute sécurité demeure un défi majeur au Togo, particulièrement dans les zones rurales et périurbaines où une proportion importante des ménages ne dispose toujours pas de ce niveau de service. Malgré les progrès enregistrés ces dernières années grâce aux investissements du Gouvernement togolais et de ses partenaires techniques et financiers, les contraintes financières auxquelles font face les ménages, les petites entreprises d'assainissement et les institutions financières continuent de limiter les investissements dans le secteur. Afin de répondre à ces défis, le Gouvernement du Togo, avec l'appui de l'UNICEF et de plusieurs partenaires, a mis en œuvre un mécanisme pilote de Crédit Latrines reposant sur un fonds renouvelable (Revolving Fund). Ce mécanisme a permis de faciliter l'accès des ménages vulnérables au financement des ouvrages d'assainissement, tout en renforçant les capacités des institutions de microfinance et des acteurs privés impliqués dans la chaîne de valeur de l'assainissement.

Grant Management Transition Consultant - Operational Support, PFP Finance, Financial Services Unit, Remote / Reporting to Rome, Italy, 6 Months #596749 Italy
PFP Finance is undertaking a time-bound transition of the private sector grant management function from Geneva to Rome. The locally recruited Geneva positions supporting this function have been abolished and recruitment and onboarding of the new Rome team is being phased. This transition overlaps with year-end closure and a period of sustained grant management activity, creating a temporary operational capacity gap before the new staffing structure is fully in place and operational. A temporary consultancy is therefore required to deliver a defined package of operational continuity, closure, process-documentation and knowledge-transfer outputs. The technical complexity of the assignment is broadly comparable to Finance Associate (GS-6) work; however, the consultancies are not intended to fill or substitute an established staff post. Although the consultants will need to work with UNICEF systems and applications, they will not exercise delegated authority, supervise staff, approve transactions or policy exceptions, or assume ongoing functional ownership. Accountability for decisions, controls, approvals and risk acceptance remains with UNICEF staff. The assignment is specifically intended to prevent backlogs and control gaps during the transition, protect monthly and annual closure deadlines and donor commitments, preserve institutional knowledge, and ensure that newly recruited staff receive documented working instructions and a structured handover. The need is temporary and will cease as the Rome team assumes the relevant accountabilities.
