BACKGROUND
Digital health is a broad multidisciplinary concept that embraces intersections between technology and healthcare. The scope of digital health includes mobile health (mHealth), electronic health records (EHRs), electronic medical records (EMRs), digitized health information systems and real-time monitoring of health services and systems, tracking and monitoring of medical supplies and equipment through the supply chain, wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, personalized medicine as well as geospatial data and technologies applied too health care (“geospatial health”). Geospatial health is an interdisciplinary field that combines geographic information systems (GIS), spatial analysis, and public health to understand how location and place influence health outcomes. Geospatial health combines GPS, satellite imagery, advanced mapping software and mobile health apps to collect and analyze location-based health data, highly intersects with the digital health field.
In recent years, country demand for global guidelines and deployment support for digital health and geospatial health has increased, following the experiences and lessons learned from digital health interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing access to information, and increasing digital literacy alongside a concurrently widening digital divide. As part of UNICEF’s new Strategic Plan, Programme Group (PG) Health created the Digital Health & Information Systems (DHIS) unit under the Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health Section (MNCAH). DHIS supports the use of digital health interventions and data to strengthen programmes across all sections in program group Health whereas facilitating Regional Offices to support country level digital health interventions.
UNICEF has previously advertised and maintained Digital Health Rosters, with the initial version launched in 2019 and subsequently updated in 2021. Both rosters have been actively used to support regional and country office digital health consultancies, attracting a mix of short and long-term candidates. These consultancies have contributed to the implementation of a wide range of digital health interventions, including digital health strategy development, data digitization, and geospatial mapping.
Given that the current rosters have been in use for nearly four years and considering the evolving demands in the digital health landscape, along with the updated Program Group Health Strategic Plan, there is a need to review and update the digital health roster. This should include revised terms of reference that align with emerging priorities and technical requirements.
UNICEF seeks to hire a senior technical consultant to support the implementation of key activities as part of the acceleration plan for pilot implementation of revised 2023 WHO Guidelines on prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema among children under five in Katsina state.

UNICEF Nigeria Country Office in Abuja, Nigeria is seeking a passionate and committed person to work in the role of a national consultant for maternal and newborn health and invites applications from highly motivated and committed persons who want to contribute to results for children.

MICS enables countries to produce statistically sound and internationally comparable estimates of a range of indicators on the situation of children, women and their families, in areas such as health, education, early childhood development, child protection, nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene. For many countries, MICS surveys are among the most important sources of data used for situation analyses, policy decisions, programme interventions, and for informing the public about the situation of children and women.
Currently, the MICS programme is in its 7th round and over 50 surveys are already formally listed as part of MICS7: Just over 20 have or are completing fieldwork, with the remaining still in the design phase. The number of MICS7 surveys is expected to increase by 10-20% in 2026 mainly due to closure of USAID’s Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) program and a few other countries currently in the process of finalizing the Memorandum of Understanding documents.
Current work on the questionnaire architecture and content of standard MICS7 questionnaires is nearly completed and 8 regional/global Survey Design and 5 Data Processing Workshops have been completed so far. Current and future MICS participating country/survey teams will need additional technical support on:
• ongoing and future MICS surveys including planning, sample design, questionnaire customisation, pre-test of questionnaires, customisation of tabulation plans, fieldworkers training, fieldwork monitoring, data analysis and report drafting, and dissemination, and
• planning and organisation of any potential local, regional, or global MICS Survey Design, Data Processing and Data Interpretation and Further Analysis workshops.
This remote international consultancy is designed to deliver high-quality content and strategic advice on climate-resilient initiatives, helping UNICEF strengthen its private sector engagement on climate action and establish itself as a leading convener in this space.
The consultant will contribute to shaping and advancing UNICEF’s global climate partnerships agenda by ensuring that adaptation and resilience-building approaches are well articulated, evidence-based, and effectively integrated into private sector climate strategies.
By providing thought leadership, technical inputs, and advocacy support, the consultancy will help position UNICEF as a key partner in climate adaptation for children, particularly within the frameworks of global climate finance, the UNFCCC process, and high-level events such as COP. The assignment will directly support the Climate Partnerships team in the Private Sector Fundraising and Partnerships (PSFP) Section in Geneva, in developing compelling narratives, tools, and mechanisms that attract and sustain private sector investments in climate-resilient social services, with a focus on ensuring safe and sustainable services for every child in a changing climate.
The intersection of the global climate crisis and rising inequalities increasingly threatens children’s health, well-being, and futures, particularly in vulnerable settings. While adaptation is an urgent priority, financing continues to fall short of actual needs. The public sector has played a critical role in mobilizing resources for climate action; however, its full potential remains untapped in advancing climate action through the social sectors—education, health, nutrition, protection, water and sanitation, most vital for building resilience among children and their communities.
The Division of Private Fundraising Partnerships (PFP) and Public Partnerships Division (PPD) support the Sustainability and Climate Change Action Plan (SCAP) and the upcoming Strategic Plan 2026-2030 by enhancing strategic engagement with public sector partners and donors, focusing on sustaining and boosting climate income generation. The purpose of this consultancy assignment is to support the Chief of Climate Partnerships in PFP and the Deputy Director in PPD by coordinating with donor-facing desks in PPD and other divisions on climate engagement, fundraising, and influencing public sector donors for an enhanced public-private climate partnerships approach.
The Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement, UNFCCC analyses, and recent World Bank/OECD studies converge on one conclusion: mobilizing private finance at scale is indispensable to achieving climate goals. Yet major bottlenecks persist, including policy and regulatory uncertainty, high perceived risks, lack of risk-mitigation instruments, limited bankable project pipelines, weak local financial sector capacity, and insufficient investment in adaptation and social services.
To bridge these gaps, UNICEF aims to develop a comprehensive proposal that brings together public, philanthropic, and private sector actors to co-create financing mechanisms capable of unlocking investment in climate adaptation, mitigation, and resilience, particularly in social sectors that directly affect children and communities.
UNICEF works towards the realization of every child’s right, everywhere. Grounded in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and guided by the Sustainable Development Goals, UNICEF fosters partnerships to strengthen systems and drive collective action to help children survive and thrive. UNICEF's Division of Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) in Geneva is pivotal to advancing this mission, focusing on maximizing the potential of the private sector to achieve results for children.
The Innovative Financing for Children (IF4C) function is central to these efforts. It develops and implements innovative financing tools to mobilize resources for children's welfare globally. These initiatives address critical issues such as resource mobilization, catalytic capital, innovative financing, climate change, environmental sustainability, and disaster risk reduction, targeting the most vulnerable and marginalized children and adolescents. Linked to this, IF4C has identified an ongoing need for capacity strengthening and knowledge management expertise to ensure the operational effectiveness of its portfolio of initiatives and projects.
