UNICEF operates within a complex reporting environment, with multiple requirements across different organizational levels and at various points throughout the year. Over time, these reporting processes have become increasingly fragmented, characterized by overlapping data needs, differing timelines, and duplication of effort. Staff across offices spend considerable time reformatting and repackaging similar information to meet diverse internal and external reporting demands, resulting in inefficiencies and diverting attention from analytical and strategic work.
Recognizing these challenges, UNICEF seeks to engage a consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of its eco-reporting functions, requirements, and related systems. The consultancy will identify opportunities to streamline, simplify, and harmonize reporting processes and systems across the organization—reducing redundancies, alleviating staff workload, and enhancing data coherence and flow. The expected outcome is a more integrated and efficient reporting ecosystem that allows data to flow seamlessly across dashboards and systems, eliminating repetitive data entry and enabling the strategic use of artificial intelligence to support data summarization, analysis, and accessibility for end users.
