UNICEF Mongolia CO is looking for a national consultant to support the UNICEF Mongolia Country Office with the technical development of the subnational Children’s Climate and Disaster Risk Index (CCDRI) model for Mongolia, considering factors such as population exposure to climate and environmental and other natural and human hazards, child vulnerability, and lack of coping capacity
The vision of the UNICEF Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub (WASH Hub) is a global
home for building, accelerating and scaling transformational climate resilient solutions for a
WASH secure future of universal and equitable access to services, addressing the full ambition of the SDG6. The WASH Hub will source, pilot and scale transformational and frontier climate resilient solutions that respond to key programmatic challenges that, if solved, will unlock faster progress for a water secure future for children and young people.
The More Water More Life (MWML) programme (2018–2025) introduced an innovative approach to deep groundwater exploration using remote sensing and overlay analysis to identify deep groundwater resources, producing groundwater suitability maps—offering a cost-effective and efficient way to enhance groundwater access in vulnerable areas.
The Consultant will support the WASH Hub by defining, outlining the scaling pathway, approach and key considerations for taking the approach to ground water mapping further by supporting multi-country and multi-region scale of adoption where appropriate. The scaling pathway is a structured approach that outlines the steps, strategies, and choices for expanding a proven innovation so it can reach a larger population and achieve sustainable impact over time.
The WASH Innovation Hub (WASH Hub) is implementing Groundwater mapping and exploration initiatives in the Horn of Africa and beyond. The initiative uses a combination of satellite data, digital mapping approaches, local knowledge and on-the-ground verification to identify and map deep aquifers. Building on from this approach the WASH hub is looking to understand how to develop innovative finance models to support the expansion of sustainable water sources and cost recovery opportunities.
The purpose of this assignment is to undertake a comprehensive assessment of existing data, reports and other knowledge on water resources, water demand data, stakeholder and utility data, tariff structures, and existing affordability/willingness to pay analysis in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) of Northern Kenya.
The study does not generate new information, but will consolidate existing evidence and data, identify knowledge gaps, and develop a structured database to inform the WASH Hub and sector investments in climate-resilient water supply services design. This work is important to inform the innovative financing models in the Horn of Africa and beyond. The tasks require a national consultant who can easily interact with different level of government, Kenyan institutions and is available travel to field locations.
This is a role for someone who is a data science nerd and has applied data science to the big problems UNICEF is trying to fix. We are looking for someone with experience in adoption and development of new open source products/pilots, especially in data science for humanitarian and development purposes and has managed teams to build solutions. This role is for you if can build models, explain them and their value clearly and are comfortable working with a diverse set of people to achieve ambitious goals (scientists, designers, developers, humanitarian specialist and development specialists). We are looking for you to join our team and lead UNICEF Solutions’ work on data science, collaborating closely with other parts of the Divisions and of UNICEF more broadly as we pilot and launch new solutions.
UNICEF is seeking a Senior Consultant on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) Innovation to advance the organisation’s climate resilience agenda under the new Strategic Plan (2026–2029). The consultant will lead a global effort to identify, document, and scale globally tested DRR/CCA innovations— including early warning and anticipatory approaches—across UNICEF sectors. Working closely with the Climate Resilience Centre of Excellence and the Office of Innovation, the consultant will develop global guidance, practical tools, case studies, and training materials, while providing tailored technical assistance to priority countries. This assignment offers a unique opportunity to influence global climate resilience programming and drive child-focused innovation at scale
