The National Treasury implementing the 2023–2028 Public Finance Management Reform Strategy to strengthen efficiency, transparency, accountability, and equitable allocation of public resources. As part of Kenya's commitment to inclusive development, the Government has strengthened child-, gender-, and disability-responsive budgeting in the FY 2027/28 budget process, requiring improved costing, expenditure tagging, tracking, and reporting. With support from UNICEF and other development partners, the initiative will strengthen Hyperion costing, child and disability expenditure tagging in IFMIS, reporting systems, and capacity development for MDAs and counties, while supporting Kenya's commitments under the Amman-Berlin Declaration, including enhanced disability financing and the "15 percent for the 15 percent" target. The overall aim is to improve the visibility, allocation, monitoring, and reporting of public expenditure for children and people with disabilities.
This is intended to strengthen programme-based budgeting (PBB) and support Government of Kenya commitments to children and disability-through automated costing model and integrating children and disability tagging into IFMIS.
UNICEF is seeking a consultant to conduct a global cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness study of Child Protection Case Management (CPCM) services in humanitarian settings.

Within the framework of the SmartED Project funded by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), the Arab
Coordination Group (ACG), and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), UNICEF, in collaboration with the Government
of Uzbekistan, is supporting national efforts to strengthen an inclusive education system in which every child can access
quality education, participate meaningfully in learning and school life, and achieve their full potential.
As part of this support, UNICEF is assisting the development and operationalization of the Inclusive Education Strategy of
Uzbekistan (the “Strategy”). The Strategy defines a shared vision and strategic directions for developing inclusive
education systems and classrooms, and provides for a clear set of standards, requirements, processes and standard
operating procedures (SOPs) to be institutionalized and to contribute to the revision of the existing legislative framework.
UNICEF is committed to ensuring that all children and young people acquire the knowledge and skills needed to learn, thrive, and transition to further education, decent work, and active citizenship. However, many adolescents, particularly those affected by conflict and displacement, face barriers to formal education due to interrupted schooling, age-grade mismatches, lack of documentation, and legal restrictions. Flexible learning pathways such as accelerated learning, bridging programmes, alternative delivery models, and links to vocational training can help address these challenges, but their implementation remains inconsistent.
This assignment will address three key gaps: limited documentation of effective practices, barriers to certification and progression, and a lack of practical guidance for displacement settings. Drawing on evidence from PROSPECTS partnership countries, the consultancy will identify and analyze promising approaches, examine certification and transition pathways, and develop practical guidance to support UNICEF country offices and partners in expanding quality, flexible education opportunities for adolescents in fragile and displacement-affected contexts.

Child wasting remains a major cause of preventable illness and death, requiring effective prevention, early identification, treatment, follow-up and relapse prevention across routine, fragile and humanitarian health systems. However, conflict, displacement, climate shocks, food insecurity and financing constraints often weaken service access, quality and continuity. Existing monitoring systems provide limited insight into service readiness, quality of care, referral completion, equity, supply continuity and populations missed by services, while data sources are often fragmented and poorly linked to decision-making. This initiative will strengthen the quality and performance of child wasting services by addressing system-level constraints and integrating quality improvement approaches into national health systems. Led by UNICEF’s Child Nutrition and Development Global Practice, the multi-country programme will support countries across Asia-Pacific and fragile and humanitarian settings through a common technical framework adapted to local contexts, in partnership with ministries of health, regional and country offices, and implementing partners.
