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.
Under the general guidance of the supervisor, the Social Policy officer 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) social protection coverage and impact on children; (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 HIV.
UNICEF was established in 1946 to supply emergency relief to millions of children suffering in the aftermath of World War II. The organization still functions to ease the suffering of millions of children in emergency situations across the world. UNICEF also focuses on the protection and promotion of child rights, working for the survival, protection, education and healthy development of every child. At the crossroads of Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Morocco is a middle-income country but with a steadily growing economy. As a result, Morocco is seen by many member states as a strategic country given its geographical location, political stability and overall progress in human development resulting in member states main priorities shifting to expanding commercial and economic ties and de-prioritizing human capital investments. It is in this context that UNICEF Morocco sees an opportunity to diversify sources of income and develop strategic partnerships with the private sector and its different stakeholders to reduce disparities, improve the situation of children and protect their rights. Globally, UNICEF recognizes the private sector as a vital partner in driving sustainable change for children. Through collaboration with multinational corporations and national companies UNICEF builds partnerships that combine financial support, innovation, and responsible business practices. The interactions will take different forms ranging from mobilizing resources (corporate philanthropy), promoting positive changes in business practices through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), supporting programmes for children and encouraging innovations.

Traditional health messaging often fails to resonate with adolescent communities, particularly around sensitive topics like HPV vaccination where cultural beliefs, peer influence, and misinformation shape decisions more powerfully than expert recommendations. Recent breakthrough research from the Mercury Project's multi-country study "Developing a Scalable Community-Driven Approach to Combatting Health Misinformation" has demonstrated that when communities
create their own health messages, these crowd-sourced communications significantly outperform standard expert designed campaigns. The approach works because it harnesses authentic language, cultural references, and persuasive
strategies that naturally emerge from within communities, the same peer-to-peer channels through which both accurate information and misinformation already spread. The consultant will support the data science components of a project
that establishes a systematic, evidence-based methodology for developing and testing crowd-sourced peer-to-peer messaging to increase HPV vaccination uptake among adolescents in Uganda and Kenya.
