The purpose of this consultancy is therefore to coordinate UNICEF Thailand’s emergency preparedness and response for 2027: maintaining an up-to-date risk analysis and preparedness plan, ensuring timely and quality situation monitoring and reporting, strengthening cross-border planning with neighbouring UNICEF Country Offices, readying supplies and partners (including with the private sector), building the capacity of staff and partners, piloting and documenting the engagement of community volunteers in emergency response in the Southern Border Provinces, and informing UNICEF’s strategic positioning in emergencies in an upper-middle-income country.
UNICEF seeks an experienced consultant to draft and edit the 2026 Executive Director Annual Report (EDAR), a flagship report highlighting progress under the UNICEF Strategic Plan 2026–2029.

The situation in Afghanistan remains exceptionally complex, with a protracted emergency situation, characterized by recurrent natural disasters, an increased number of people living in poverty, continued internal displacement, unprecedented levels of food insecurity, which has been further compounded since the COVID-19 pandemic. This complexity has greatly impacted the situation of children and women in the country. The August 2021 transition, exacerbated by four decades of conflict, recurrent natural disasters, chronic poverty, and multiple disease outbreaks continue to negatively impact children and women. The discontinuation of education for girls beyond grade six and restrictions on participation of women to work deprives almost half of the human capital to contribute to the nation’s economy and development.
UNICEF Myanmar strives to ensure that adolescents and young people are not only heard but actively contribute as agents of change in both humanitarian and development contexts. To amplify these voices, UNICEF launched U-Report Myanmar in August 2016 — an innovative digital platform that leverages mobile and social media technology to engage young people, share information, gather insights, and promote positive social change.
To ensure high-quality execution and strong alignment with global guidelines, UNICEF Myanmar seeks a consultant with specialized expertise in social media strategy, content creation, and digital engagement. The consultant will play a key role in driving U-Report’s rebranding activation, maintaining and enhancing its social media presence, and identifying innovative approaches to reach and engage young people on both existing and emerging platforms.
UNICEF Cuba has initiated the Country Programme cycle for 2026–2030 and, within this framework, is pleased to announce a vacancy for the position of Social Policy Officer.

Through this position, you will contribute to the successful implementation of social policy programmes and projects, strengthening UNICEF’s capacity to deliver meaningful results for children and families and advance greater social equity across the country.
Under the guidance of the Adolescent Development Manager and in collaboration with the National YAB Coordinator and the Project Manager, the consultant will (i) support the National Youth Advisory Board and 6 Local Youth Advisory Boards (YAB) in developing a shared understanding of violence as a multidimensional issue affecting children, adolescents and youth; (ii) produce an evidence-based causal analysis and conceptual framework; (iii) strengthen YAB members' capacities through participatory learning workshops; and (iv) facilitate the elaboration of youth-led workplans (1 at national level, 6 at local level), aimed at preventing and responding to violence, promoting social cohesion, advancing child rights and fostering a culture of peace amongst youth communities at national and local levels.
Under the direct guidance and supervision of the Head of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, the Emergency Officer (AAP and Safeguarding/PSEA) will be responsible for coordinating and/or supporting the design and implementation of strategies and action plans to scale up AAP interventions and processes under the 2023-2026 Country Programme, ensuring that the views and priorities of affected population are incorporated into all stages of the programme cycle and effectively inform the work plans implemented with State organizations, Civil Society and Communities. The incumbent will also act as the Country Office technical focal point for Safeguarding and PSEA, supporting the Head of Office and the Country Management Team in the implementation of the UNICEF Policy on Safeguarding.
The primary objective of this consultancy is to update the existing 2002 Yemen National Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes (BMS Code) to align with relevant and recent World Health Assembly (WHA) resolutions, including provisions related to the promotion and marketing of commercial complementary foods.
The consultancy will also support the development of a sustainable national monitoring, reporting, and enforcement mechanism to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MoPHP) and other relevant stakeholders to identify, document, report, and address violations of the BMS Code.
The assignment is time-bound and deliverable-based, with specific outputs including the updated national BMS Code, a monitoring and enforcement framework and tools, and recommendations to support effective implementation and institutionalization of the Code
The purpose of this time-bound consultancy is to provide deliverable-based capacity to the Public Partnerships & Resource Mobilization Division (PPR) Central Europe team to strengthen Germany-facing partnership engagement, visibility and resource-mobilization opportunities in support of the flagship Sahel Resilience Programme (SRP), supporting structured engagement with the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the World Food Programme (WFP), the Hamburg Sustainability Conference (HSC) and the German National Committee for UNICEF; translating SRP results and priorities into partner-facing materials and events and supporting youth participation and visibility around Hamburg Sustainability Conference 2027 (HSC27). While the West and Central Africa Regional Office (WCARO)/SRP provides the program substance, technical direction and regional coordination, the Berlin/PPR team is best placed to manage this assignment because the outputs are primarily partnership, contribution-management, advocacy, communications and stakeholder-engagement deliverables for German audiences and institutions. Locating the consultancy within PPR ensures close alignment with the Central Europe Section’s partnership priorities and donor engagement. While WCARO/SRP remains responsible for program content and strategic direction, PPR Berlin provides the Germany-facing partnership interface needed to convert program results into sustained political, visibility, and resource-mobilization opportunities. This consultancy addresses temporary but critical capacity gap at the point where program priorities meet donor engagement. The deliverables will improve information flow between WCARO/SRP and German partners, strengthen UNICEF’s ability to position the SRP in current Sahel policy discussions in Germany, and support a more coherent approach to sustaining Germany’s partnership with UNICEF in the Sahel.
The consultancy will support APRO’s Operations team in rolling out SES across the region’s 22 offices while helping Country Offices meet institutional donor requirements—particularly those of IFIs, KfW and GCF—related to SES.
