UNICEF Kenya seeks professional expertise to help develop and sustain partnerships with both international and national media outlets in Kenya, as well as build relationships with key journalists and editors. These efforts are designed to secure coverage and media space for UNICEF’s initiatives and children’s issues across Kenya.
The purpose of this consultancy is to provide time-bound technical and coordination support to ESARO to: (i) strengthen CO internal control arrangements through review of delegation/authority instruments and systematic follow-up on internal control statements and self-assessments; and (ii) finalize the CO concept note on operational and fiduciary oversight and roll out practical guidance and communications (including webinars) to enable consistent application by country offices.
In 2024, UNICEF approved a US$5.8 million allocation through the 7% Set Aside Funds — financed through UNICEF core resources — to support reduction of new HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) across 11 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) and West and Central Africa (WCA). The funding was allocated to UNICEF Country Offices to accelerate implementation of evidence-based and adolescent-responsive HIV prevention and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) interventions within national and sub-national systems.
UNICEF seeks a consultant to document and synthesize the regional experience, implementation approaches, emerging results, strategic lessons, and programmatic learning from the 7% set-aside investment across participating countries.
The consultancy will draw on programme monitoring data, country reporting, implementation evidence, and stakeholder perspectives to produce high-quality knowledge and advocacy products that support strategic learning, future programming, policy engagement, and resource mobilization for adolescent HIV prevention and adolescent well-being.
UNICEF’s Immunization Section, Health, Center of Excellence, Global Program Division, is seeking to hire a qualified individual consultant to provide technical and analytical support to the New Vaccine Introduction, Integrated Delivery and Reach Team.
UNICEF, as a key partner in the global immunization agenda, continues to support countries in introducing, scaling up, and sustaining equitable access to new and underutilized vaccines. The organization plays a leading role in vaccine introduction, system strengthening, and delivery optimization, working closely with governments, Gavi, WHO, and other partners.
With the acceleration of Gavi 6.0 strategy implementation and increasing country demand for support in new vaccine introductions (NVIs) and vaccine portfolio optimization, UNICEF provides high-quality, coordinated, and evidence-based global thought leadership and technical assistance to countries. This includes optimizing country vaccine portfolios, guiding investment prioritization, and ensuring readiness and long-term integration into primary health care and health systems strengthening frameworks. In furtherance of this effort, UNICEF would like to contract senior technical experts to carry out the below tasks.
Traditional health messaging often fails to resonate with adolescent communities, particularly around sensitive topics like HPV vaccination where cultural beliefs, peer influence, and misinformation shape decisions more powerfully than expert recommendations. Recent breakthrough research from the Mercury Project's multi-country study "Developing a Scalable Community-Driven Approach to Combatting Health Misinformation" has demonstrated that when communities
create their own health messages, these crowd-sourced communications significantly outperform standard expert designed campaigns. The approach works because it harnesses authentic language, cultural references, and persuasive
strategies that naturally emerge from within communities, the same peer-to-peer channels through which both accurate information and misinformation already spread. The consultant will support the data science components of a project
that establishes a systematic, evidence-based methodology for developing and testing crowd-sourced peer-to-peer messaging to increase HPV vaccination uptake among adolescents in Uganda and Kenya.
