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.

Viet Nam Country Office is looking for a Programme Associate (Temporary Appointment), GS6 level. Under the supervision of the Programme Specialist, CCDRR-Emergency, the Programme Associate provides financial, budget, grant, partner-management and administrative support to UNICEF’s climate, disaster risk reduction, emergency, environmental health and WASH portfolio transitioning into Result Area 3.The incumbent supports programme planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting by ensuring accurate and timely processing and tracking of programme resources; monitoring budgets, grants and expenditures; supporting DCT and HACT processes; maintaining financial and programme records; preparing financial analyses and reports; and supporting implementing partners to comply with UNICEF financial requirements.
PFP Finance is undertaking a time-bound transition of the private sector grant management function from Geneva to Rome. The locally recruited Geneva positions supporting this function have been abolished and recruitment and onboarding of the new Rome team is being phased. This transition overlaps with year-end closure and a period of sustained grant management activity, creating a temporary operational capacity gap before the new staffing structure is fully in place and operational.
A temporary consultancy is therefore required to deliver a defined package of operational continuity, closure, process-documentation and knowledge-transfer outputs. The technical complexity of the assignment is broadly comparable to Finance Associate (GS-6) work; however, the consultancies are not intended to fill or substitute an established staff post. Although the consultants will need to work with UNICEF systems and applications, they will not exercise delegated authority, supervise staff, approve transactions or policy exceptions, or assume ongoing functional ownership. Accountability for decisions, controls, approvals and risk acceptance remains with UNICEF staff.
The assignment is specifically intended to prevent backlogs and control gaps during the transition, protect monthly and annual closure deadlines and donor commitments, preserve institutional knowledge, and ensure that newly recruited staff receive documented working instructions and a structured handover. The need is temporary and will cease as the Rome team assumes the relevant accountabilities.
