The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Sudan is implementing Maternal and Child Cash Transfers Plus for the first 1,000 days of Life (MCCT+). The MCCT+ is an integrated social protection programme that provides vulnerable pregnant women and lactating mothers with regular cash assistance together with skills and access to basic health, nutrition, and protection services. The programme first started in Red Sea and Kassala States with then further expansion to different States, including in River Nile under MCCT+ phase IV. UNICEF Innocenti is collaborating with the UNICEF Sudan on mixed-methods evidence generation on the MCCT+. As part of this, a mixed-method evaluation of the MCCT+ Phase IV started in 2024, involving three waves of data collection: baseline, midline, and endline. The baseline report was finalized in November 2025. The Midline is planned to start in June 2026. It will rely on an exclusive qualitative methodology. These Terms of Reference (ToR) specifically address support for the qualitative midline data collection activities.

The Personal Assistance Service (PAS) is an important tool for social inclusion, enabling persons with disabilities to live independently and participate actively in community life, in line with the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which the Republic of Moldova ratified in 2010. Currently, the regulatory framework governing the organization and functioning of the PAS is defined by Law No. 60/2012 on the social inclusion of persons with disabilities and Government Decision No. 314/2012 approving the Framework Regulation on the organization and functioning of the PAS, together with the Minimum Quality Standards. However, the existing modalities for employing personal assistants and delivering the service do not adequately meet real needs, resulting in inequities in coverage, quality, and financial sustainability. While the number of beneficiaries has steadily increased in recent years, the human and financial resources allocated have not evolved proportionally to demand. The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection (MLSP) intends to revise and improve the contracting and delivery framework of the PAS to ensure a more equitable, flexible, and needs oriented system. This will include differentiating levels of support and exploring alternative financing and contracting mechanisms, with the ultimate goal of strengthening inclusion and improving the quality of life for persons with disabilities. The consultant, in coordination with the financial expert, shall prepare legislative recommendations and costing scenarios for the revision of contracting and delivery modalities of the Personal Assistance Service.
Since October 7th, the health system in Gaza has been largely destroyed with no hospital fully functional and most Primary Health Clinics only partially functional. The health system continues to run partially on the services of INGO/NGOs, UNWRA (which seems to be functioning at scale for now), and MOH. INGOs are facing registration issues, and it remains unclear how consistently they will be able to function. UNWRA is facing issues as well that may affect their ability to function. Since the ceasefire in fall of 2025, the early recovery phase has been delayed due to an inability to access rebuilding materials and supplies, leaving the system largely on conflict-footing even now as we await the presence of a functional Board of Peace/NCAG and an International Stabilization Force. In this context, primary health services and their functionality remain critical. UNICEF expects to play the leading role in PHC recovery and rebuilding. Led by a Health Manager with a technical link to the State of Palestine Office, the Health and Nutrition Specialist will have an NOB reporting to them and will lead the work on early recovery and rebuilding of the primary health systems.

The Senior ICT Associate (Process Optimization and Automation – Developer) contributes to continuous improvement across the full automation lifecycle – from assessment and qualification of candidate processes, through design, development and testing, to deployment, maintenance and continuous improvement. The role spans the GSSC service lines (Finance and Master Data Management; HR, Payroll and Offboarding; and Customer Care) and applies the most appropriate technique from across the automation spectrum to each opportunity, rather than relying on a single tool. Where automation can be enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), these capabilities are leveraged through UNICEF’s enterprise platforms (for example, Microsoft Copilot and ServiceNow NowAssist) within the architecture and governance boundaries maintained by DID, rather than developed as stand-alone systems.
