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.

La clasificación del gasto público es clave para planificar, monitorear y evaluar políticas orientadas a garantizar derechos y reducir brechas en grupos prioritarios. En Ecuador, los Clasificadores de Orientación de Gasto en Políticas de Igualdad permiten identificar los recursos destinados a enfoques como género, discapacidad, interculturalidad y ciclo de vida.
Desde 2010, el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas ha incorporado progresivamente estos enfoques en el presupuesto estatal, ampliándolos en 2014 para incluir distintos ejes de igualdad. Actualmente, su uso es obligatorio en las fases de programación y ejecución presupuestaria.
Sin embargo, debido a cambios normativos y necesidades de información, es necesario evaluar su consistencia, uso y alineación con estándares internacionales, así como mejorar herramientas y metodologías para su aplicación.
La consultoría tiene como objetivo realizar un diagnóstico integral de estos clasificadores y, con base en sus resultados, proponer mejoras, desarrollar instrumentos técnicos y diseñar un plan de capacitación que fortalezca su uso para una gestión eficiente del gasto público con enfoque de igualdad.

Currently, Guinea faces regularly natural disasters, such as flooding, which displace populations, damage infrastructure, and exacerbate the already challenging humanitarian conditions.
