The purpose of the assignment is to provide technical leadership, coordination and quality assurance for the nationally owned process of revising and strengthening the project entitled “Climate-resilient WASH services and water security to support the resilience of community, health and education systems in Chad”, together with all mandatory annexes and supporting documentation, to ensure alignment with UNICEF pipeline selection requirements and the GCF investment criteria.
Under the direct supervision of UNICEF Social Policy Officer, the Consultant will work and collaborate with UNICEF and implementing
partners including the Social Welfare Fund (SWF), the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MoPHP) and others to deliver and carryout
the proposed activities and tasks related to the cash plus project funded by KFW in Tuban and Al-Mukha districts.
According to UNICEF Afghanistan MICS 2022-2023 data, 29.8 per cent of children aged 3-17 years have some type of functional difficulty.3 According to evidence, challenges in analysis and design of programmes for people and children with disabilities limited their access to services and equitable outcomes. A lack of specific indicators to track progress for people and children with disabilities hampers the ability to measure and prioritize their needs effectively.
This assessment is needed because children with disabilities in Afghanistan face heightened and often invisible barriers to accessing essential services, including health, nutrition, education, child protection, and social protection, particularly in a context of increasing poverty, displacement, and restrictions on participation. At the same time, disability data and systematic analysis remain limited, constraining evidence-based planning, equitable targeting, and accountability to Leave No One Behind commitments. By combining a situation analysis with an internal readiness assessment, UNICEF Afghanistan and partners will be better positioned to identify practical entry points for disability inclusion, strengthen program design and implementation, and ensure that interventions reach and benefit children with disabilities in a measurable and sustainable way.
The consultants will work closely with UNICEF, and relevant stakeholders to develop an integrated package that strengthens children's learning and development in ECED, making them ready to learn and transition into Grade 1. The assignment will include the development of structured daily activity plans (192 days for ECED and at least the first 90 days, but not limited to, for Grade 1 teachers focusing on transition), formative assessment tools, coaching guidance, school readiness and transition resources, parent and caregiver engagement materials, and practical implementation guidance for teachers, schools, and local governments.
UNICEF Myanmar aims to engage two separate individual consultants under this assignment. Each consultant will be deployed on an on-demand basis, either independently or in parallel depending on programme needs, geographic coverage, urgency and the specific deliverables required.
Each consultant will be responsible for delivering the agreed content outputs assigned through a separate pre-mission brief, including photography, captions, consent documentation and any additional editorial deliverables as required, in coordination with the UNICEF Advocacy & Communications section.
Child marriage and early union remain significant challenges in Viet Nam, particularly among ethnic minority girls, rural communities and poorer households. The prevalence increased from 10.6% in 2014 to 14.6% in 2021, affecting millions of girls. Child marriage is driven by a combination of poverty, school dropout, limited access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information and services, and harmful gender and social norms. At the same time, it further exacerbates gender inequality, increases the risk of adolescent pregnancy, limits educational and economic opportunities, and contributes to the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Although Viet Nam has laws prohibiting underage marriage, enforcement is inconsistent and harmful social norms continue to sustain the practice.
UNICEF is engaging a national M&E consultant to support the development of a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework that will guide the monitoring, evaluation and documentation of the intervention’s implementation process, results and emerging results, including through baseline and endline assessments.
Under the leadership of MEHRD, and in collaboration with DFAT and other members of the Education Development Partners Coordination Group (EDPCG), the international consultant will produce a rigorous, Solomon Islands-specific economic analysis of the cost of providing free PPY and ECE to all children through existing programmes; a set of costed scenarios with five-year projections, financing options and explicit trade-off analysis; and a policy paper that serves both as an information document and as an advocacy instrument for increasing public financing for free early learning.
The consultant will establish and operationalize UNICEF Sierra Leone’s Social and Behavioural Intelligence function to strengthen the generation, synthesis and use of social and behavioural evidence for programme planning, adaptive management and community-centred decision-making.
UNICEF seeks to contract an independent Electrical/Solar Engineer to provide time-bound technical oversight and quality assurance for the supply, installation, testing, commissioning and handover of 5 kVA solar power systems at 20 Civil Registry Department (CRD) sub-offices.
The Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene in Schools (WinS) Program is a critical component of quality education, child health, dignity, and protection. Adequate WASH services in schools contribute to improved learner attendance, reduced incidence of water- and sanitation-related diseases, safer and more inclusive learning environments, and better education outcomes. For adolescent girls WASH facilities are particularly important to ensure privacy, dignity, menstrual health and hygiene, and continued participation in school activities.
The Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) localized the program.
MBHTE oversees approximately 2,612 public elementary and secondary schools mandated to implement WinS and report through the WinS Online Monitoring System (OMS), which generates ratings through the Three-Star Rating System. However, schools and divisions continue to experience difficulties in monitoring, reporting, and data uploading due to limited internet connectivity, technical login issues, incomplete submissions, and varying interpretations of indicators.
Challenges also persist in school WASH infrastructure, supplies, water safety, waste management, operation and maintenance, and access to technical assistance, particularly in remote, island, conflict-affected, and climate vulnerable areas. Since WinS data is largely self-reported, field validation is needed to verify the actual functionality, adequacy, accessibility, safety, and sustainability of school WASH services. Given these gaps, UNICEF and MBHTE require dedicated technical support to conduct a comprehensive assessment and validation of WinS implementation across BARMM. The assignment will generate credible and usable evidence to guide planning, policy advocacy, resource mobilization, technical assistance, and integration of WinS priorities into School Improvement Plans (SIP), Division Education Development Plans (DEDP), and Bangsamoro Education Reform and Development Plan (BERDP)

While GPD has the relevant global technical expertise, the volume and diversity of Country Office requests require additional capacity to timely cover all requests with quality. The GPD technical lead must balance highvolume country technical assistance with global thought leadership, development of global products, engagement with major partners and donors, and regional and global convening. Additional dedicated support will enable more timely and contextually relevant technical assistance while maintaining coherence with global UNICEF approaches.
