Many countries continue to face significant challenges in maintaining critical health technologies at PHC level, including cold chain equipment, medical devices, oxygen systems, ICT infrastructure, waste management systems, and solar energy solutions. These challenges are often driven by fragmented maintenance approaches, limited technical capacity, insufficient financing, and weak governance and coordination mechanisms. As a result, equipment downtime remains high, preventive maintenance is limited, and health facilities frequently experience disruptions in essential services.
The lack of an integrated maintenance approach also leads to inefficient use of resources, duplication of efforts across program areas, and limited accountability for equipment performance. In many settings, maintenance responsibilities are distributed across different units without clear coordination, resulting in delayed repairs, inadequate preventive maintenance, and shortened equipment lifespan. These gaps ultimately affect the reliability of health services, including immunization, oxygen delivery, diagnostics, and broader primary health care services.
This assignment aims to develop, pilot, and operationalize an integrated maintenance approach that brings together multiple health technology domains under a coordinated and efficient framework. Through pilot country implementation, baseline assessments, operational model development, and capacity strengthening, the assignment will generate evidence-based approaches tailored to different country contexts, including fragile settings and high-impact countries.
The assignment will also document lessons learned and develop scalable and sustainable models for broader adoption.

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
