The UNICEF Evaluation Office (EO) is commissioning a global evaluation of UNICEF’s risk governance frameworks and practices in humanitarian action.
Building on a set of case studies conducted across different emergency contexts, the evaluation will allow tracing the decision-making processes that led to either action or no action during past emergency responses and will attempt to measure their repercussion on the delivery of services and good to children, especially those in hard-to-reach areas.
The evaluation aims to put forward recommendations that will equip UNICEF staff across a variety of emergency contexts to manage, prevent and share risks more responsibly and effectively in the future.
The EO is seeking a Corporate Risk Benchmarking Expert for this evaluation.
L'accès à des services d'assainissement gérés en toute sécurité demeure un défi majeur au Togo, particulièrement dans les
zones rurales et périurbaines où une proportion importante des ménages ne dispose toujours pas de ce niveau de service.
Malgré les progrès enregistrés ces dernières années grâce aux investissements du Gouvernement togolais et de ses
partenaires techniques et financiers, les contraintes financières auxquelles font face les ménages, les petites entreprises
d'assainissement et les institutions financières continuent de limiter les investissements dans le secteur.
Afin de répondre à ces défis, le Gouvernement du Togo, avec l'appui de l'UNICEF et de plusieurs partenaires, a mis en œuvre
un mécanisme pilote de Crédit Latrines reposant sur un fonds renouvelable (Revolving Fund). Ce mécanisme a permis de
faciliter l'accès des ménages vulnérables au financement des ouvrages d'assainissement, tout en renforçant les capacités
des institutions de microfinance et des acteurs privés impliqués dans la chaîne de valeur de l'assainissement.
UNICEF Angola is seeking an experienced and results-oriented Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) Specialist to support evidence-based programming and strengthen results monitoring across the country programme.
The Operations Manager is a strategic business partner and functional expert of DI's operational and administrative services that is accountable for managerial leadership and policy guidance to ensure the seamless execution of DI's mission. The role ensures that DI's operational strategies are robust, efficient, and scalable, supporting both the Switzerland base and the Barcelona technology centre.
UNICEF’s Migration and Displacement Hub lead strategic partnerships, programme development and coordination for the PROSPECTS programme, supporting UNICEF offices in advancing the protection, inclusion and opportunities of children and young people on the move. PROSPECTS include policy change objectives aimed at improving outcomes for displaced populations through stronger national and international policies. This consultancy will support policy analysis, evidence generation and strategic policy engagement in global forums to help achieve these objectives. As 2027 marks the final year of PROSPECTS Phase II, the assignment will play a key role in consolidating programme achievements, influencing policy outcomes and supporting the delivery of results for displaced children and young people.
The consultant will provide expert support to the Ministry of Education, the Institute for Education Improvement and the Institute for Education Quality and Evaluation in digital education, with a particular focus on the development of relevant policies and initiatives and the responsible and pedagogically meaningful use of artificial intelligence in education.
Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Education, the consultant will report directly to the UNICEF Education Manager (Lagos) and will be responsible for working closely with schools and communities, in particular headteachers, community leaders, LGA stakeholders and LASUBEB.
UNICEF seeks to engage an International Consultant to support the LASUBEB to develop and implement a school leadership programme for the LGAs under the UNICEF ACCESS Lagos programme. Additionally, the consultant will support the implementation of the school based teacher professional development in the seven LGAs. This will include providing mentorship and coaching support to the Headteachers and other members of the Instructional Leadership team.
Therefore, UNICEF seeks an international consultant to work with other members of the technical team, drawn from international and national consultants, UNICEF teams, and UBEC, to refine and scale up this school-based teacher professional development model.
UNICEF is seeking a strategic and forward-looking Partnership Manager (AI & Technology) to build transformative partnerships at the intersection of artificial intelligence and children’s rights. This is a unique opportunity to engage leading AI and technology actors, develop high-value global partnerships, and turn the potential of AI into funding, innovation and influence that deliver meaningful results for children worldwide.
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.

Additionally, the evaluation will explore the opportunity of evaluating the plus component of the programme alone, making use of its implementation in health centers that no women registered to receive cash support visit.
