In today's dynamic landscape of survey and census activities, digital data collection has become the established standard procedure. However, with a wide array of tools designed for various applications, including household surveys, face-to-face interactions, and telephone surveys, the decision-making process around tool selection has become a complex task. Currently, UNICEF's headquarters, regional and country offices independently make these selections without access to a comprehensive overview of the respective advantages and disadvantages.
Recognizing the critical importance of well-informed tool choices in this digital age, the primary objective of this consultancy is to conduct a thorough and detailed review of the digital data collection tools available today. These versatile tools are compatible with a variety of platforms and offer unique capabilities. The purpose is to perform a comprehensive assessment that will cover technical specifications for each tool, providing insight into their complexities, strengths, and areas for improvement, while also encompassing practical recommendations. These will include best practices concerning ease of use, associated costs, training resources, and technical support. The desired outcome of this consultancy is to offer clear guidance on which digital data collection tools are best suited for specific data collection activities. By pursuing this informed approach, UNICEF aims to not only prevent the potential selection of less suitable or inappropriate tools but also ensure the highest standards of efficiency, data security, and child protection in the realm of digital data collection.

The Division of Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP), based in Geneva, aims to achieve sustainable impact for children – income and influence at scale – by maximizing UNICEF's private fundraising, partnerships, and engagement activities, including work with National Committees, regional, and country offices, for the realization of children's rights. The Humanitarian Funding Unit within the Private Sector Fundraising and Partnerships (PSFP) section of PFP supports National Committees and Private Sector Fundraising (PSFR) countries and steers global efforts across the organization to maximize funding opportunities through and for humanitarian crises and sudden-onset disasters.
Over the last 5 years, on average 66% of private sector funding has gone to only 3 HAC appeals – many of them media-covered emergencies. Although we will continue to leverage media-driven crises, our universal mandate requires a more sustainable and equitable distribution of funding across emergencies, especially for Chronically Underfunded Emergencies (CUEs). Chronically Underfunded Emergencies are crises marked by sustained humanitarian needs that often span years or even decades. These emergencies typically occur in regions affected by chronic displacement, ongoing conflicts, or recurring natural disasters such as drought.
Closing the funding gap for chronically underfunded emergencies from the private sector demands bold action and seamless collaboration across UNICEF.
It is in this regard that UNICEF’s Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP) Division is launching the Global Emergency Alliance for Children, a pioneering platform to mobilize leading businesses for sustained, flexible support to children affected by protracted and sudden-onset crises. The Alliance aims to reduce the funding gap for crises by leveraging corporate resources, expertise, and influence to deliver measurable impact for children worldwide.
