This Generic Vacancy Announcement (GVA) is issued to identify and assess qualified professionals for potential inclusion in UNICEF's Talent Group for WASH. The purpose of this GVA is to build a pool of pre-assessed, high-caliber candidates who can be considered for future positions aligned with UNICEF's strategic priorities and operational needs.

The programme focuses on delivering life‑saving and resilient WASH services while strengthening national and sub‑national systems to ensure equitable, sustainable access for the most vulnerable women and children, particularly in fragile and hard‑to‑reach areas.
UNICEF is seeking a senior consultant to provide time-bound technical support for strategic planning and coordination of the MCP work-planning process.

The Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene in Schools (WinS) Program is a critical component of quality education, child health, dignity, and protection. Adequate WASH services in schools contribute to improved learner attendance, reduced incidence of water- and sanitation-related diseases, safer and more inclusive learning environments, and better education outcomes. For adolescent girls WASH facilities are particularly important to ensure privacy, dignity, menstrual health and hygiene, and continued participation in school activities.
The Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) localized the program.
MBHTE oversees approximately 2,612 public elementary and secondary schools mandated to implement WinS and report through the WinS Online Monitoring System (OMS), which generates ratings through the Three-Star Rating System. However, schools and divisions continue to experience difficulties in monitoring, reporting, and data uploading due to limited internet connectivity, technical login issues, incomplete submissions, and varying interpretations of indicators.
Challenges also persist in school WASH infrastructure, supplies, water safety, waste management, operation and maintenance, and access to technical assistance, particularly in remote, island, conflict-affected, and climate vulnerable areas. Since WinS data is largely self-reported, field validation is needed to verify the actual functionality, adequacy, accessibility, safety, and sustainability of school WASH services. Given these gaps, UNICEF and MBHTE require dedicated technical support to conduct a comprehensive assessment and validation of WinS implementation across BARMM. The assignment will generate credible and usable evidence to guide planning, policy advocacy, resource mobilization, technical assistance, and integration of WinS priorities into School Improvement Plans (SIP), Division Education Development Plans (DEDP), and Bangsamoro Education Reform and Development Plan (BERDP)

The policy adopted the Three Star Approach (TSA) to WASH in Schools and its concept of progressive, stepwise improvements toward national WinS standards as the national strategy to help schools progressively improve WASH conditions. Over time, DepED and partners have also strengthened implementation through decentralized, school-led approaches and technical coordination mechanisms.
