Sudan is among the top four countries in the world with the highest prevalence of global acute malnutrition (GAM), with an estimated 13.6 percent. The nutrition outlook is expected to deteriorate in 2026 due to ongoing conflict since mid of April 2023, food security decline, compromised health and WASH services, and prolonged displacement. The estimated people in need for nutrition services is projected to rise further with the deteriorating nutrition determinants. Currently, the nutrition cluster estimate that 3.67 million children under five will suffer from acute malnutrition during 2024, out of which, 729,000 children will have severe acute malnutrition which put them at immediate risk of death if not treated on timely manner.

UNICEF Surabaya is looking for Social Policy Officer who is accountable for providing technical support and assistance in all stages of social policy programming and related advocacy from strategic planning and formulation to delivery of concrete and sustainable results. This includes programmes aimed at improving (a) public policies to reduce child poverty; (b) innovative financing at both national and sub-national levels; (c) the transparency, adequacy, equity and efficiency of child-focused public investments and financial management; and (d) governance, decentralization and accountability measures to increase public participation and the quality, equity and coverage of social services. This encompasses both direct programme work with government and civil society partners as well as linkages and support to teams working on education, health, child protection, water and sanitation, and climate change. Contract duration is for 2 years.
The Chief Health is responsible for managing and supervising all stages of health programs/projects as articulated in the Country Program Document and ongoing VISION 2030 UN Joint programs. The vision for change in health is that, by 2030 caregivers, children and adolescents, especially adolescent girls, access and utilize equitable, gender responsive quality services delivered through a strengthened and integrated primary health care system. These include neonatal, child and adolescent health, nutrition, and development interventions. The ambition of this pillar reaches beyond improving child survival through ending preventable deaths of young children to attain the growth and developmental potential and well-being of all children and adolescents. This area of work also integrates climate resilient WASH, health security, emergency preparedness and response.
The objective of this consultancy is to support the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Mozambique in developing a comprehensive nutrition program Action Plan for the health sector that guides the planning and implementation of high impact evidence-based actions aimed at promoting nutrition and improving health throughout the life cycle. This Action Plan will contribute to improving the coverage and quality of essential nutritional actions in the Mozambican health system in a sustainable and comprehensive way, especially for vulnerable populations. The Action Plan will also be aligned with the five core pillars of the Government of Mozambique's Five-Year Program (PQG) for 2025–2029, the three key principles of the National Health Policy and the five key shifts proposed in the Lusaka Agenda 2023. To make the development of the national action plan effective, the consultant must ensure alignment with national health strategies and priorities and international standards, in particular with the guidelines of different areas of nutrition action at the level of the National Health System and the Community Health Subsystem, with an emphasis on promotion, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation and its link with other essential sectors (e.g. education, agriculture, industry and commerce, social action, public works, among others)
Angola has made progress in child survival, with under-five mortality declining from 68 to 52 per 1,000 live births, between 2015 and 2024. This trajectory confirms that targeted investments in primary health care is yielding results. However, these gains remain fragile and uneven, with persistent geographic and socio-economic disparities requiring sustained, equity-focused efforts. At the same time, stagnation in key maternal and child health and nutrition indicators signal systemic bottlenecks. Rates of stunting (40 per cent), wasting (5 per cent), full immunization coverage (28 per cent), and access to WASH have shown limited improvement. This reflects structural challenges across the health system, including access to health care facilities, weak last-mile and community-based service delivery and quality gaps.
UNICEF is looking to hire Director, Division of Global Communication and Advocacy. The mission of UNICEF is to promote the survival, well-being and rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. As the custodian of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history, UNICEF has helped transform countless children’s lives around the world. In 1965, the organization won the Nobel Prize for its work in ensuring millions of children survive and thrive and are enabled to reach their full potential. With our multisectoral programs around the world, ranging from education, nutrition, health, water and sanitation, social protection and child protection, and working with partners far and wide, UNICEF has been able to reduce child mortality 50% since 2000.
The Child Protection Officer (NOA) will support the coordination, implementation and monitoring of humanitarian child protection interventions in the Dominican Republic, with a focus on children affected by human mobility and other vulnerabilities. The role contributes to the delivery of an integrated response that combines protection, health, nutrition and WASH interventions, ensuring that services are aligned with humanitarian standards and donor requirements.
Since 2014, UNICEF has invested significantly in Digital Public Goods (DPGs) that support programme delivery at scale across sectors and countries. These platforms are important institutional assets for delivering reusable, adaptable, cost-effective solutions and scalable digital impact for children.
As UNICEF strengthens digital transformation as an accelerator for results, there is an opportunity to build on the experience of existing DPG teams and make UNICEF’s collective DPG expertise more visible and accessible across the organization and beyond. This includes strengthening collaboration across DPG teams, documenting good practices, identifying opportunities for efficiency, and developing service offerings for country offices and partners.
Since 2025, DID DCOE has convened the DPGs at Scale initiative through business model financial analysis, bilateral consultations, and working group discussions. This has created a strong foundation for advancing structured collaboration, shared learning, and portfolio-level thinking on how UNICEF can sustain and scale DPGs effectively.
The purpose of this consultancy is to facilitate and coordinate the DPGs at Scale community and help translate the work to date into practical, decision-ready outputs. The consultant will support the development of an operating model for DPGs at Scale, a productized DPG service offering, cost-efficiency options, knowledge products, and structured inputs for senior management consideration.

MCCT+ builds on UNICEF’s ongoing support to primary health care (PHC) facilities which serve as the platforms for an integrated package of services and support to vulnerable women and children. The programme is expected to contribute to a reduction in child and maternal mortality and malnutrition through improved family practices and access to essential services for to first 1,000 days of life. To date, the MCCT+ programme has successfully enrolled approximately 52,000 women benefiting 312,600 individuals in 4 localities in Kassala and 5 localities in Red Sea state. In early 2024, UNICEF will expand the programme to reach an additional 30,000 pregnant women in additional states.
