Join UNICEF as a WASH Officer in Damascus, supporting safe water, sanitation and hygiene services across five southern Syrian governorates. The role offers an opportunity for WASH professionals with relevant development and humanitarian experience to contribute to sustainable, resilient programmes that improve public health and the well-being of vulnerable communities.
UNICEF supported the state governments to develop Sustainability Compacts and Action plans in response to the 2021 Sector-wide Sustainability Check (SWSC) findings. UNICEF has also supported the update of the WASH Information Management System (WASHIMS) to integrate climate resilience, sustainability, and gender equality indicators, and improved government capacity to report on WASH routinely on the WASHIMS. For the HOSI, UNICEF supported the government to engage in regional and global meetings hosted by the African Minister’s Council on Water and the Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) partnership. In 2026, the Government of Nigeria was also supported to engage in discussions WASH financing and meaningful youth engagement at the IRC WASH Systems Leadership Symposium in Kigali, and to advance the Water Compact in collaboration with the Nigeria Water Development Partner’s Group.
Building on these foundations, a systems strengthening consultant is required to support the federal and state governments to advance on the knowledge management and evidence generation, WASH service sustainability and the HOSI.

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias, or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic, and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education, and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. Therefore, the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programme is a core component of UNICEF Burkina Faso’s Country Programme, implemented in a context marked by insecurity, climate shocks and large‑scale internal displacement. The programme focuses on delivering life‑saving and resilient WASH services while strengthening national and sub‑national systems to ensure equitable, sustainable access for the most vulnerable women and children, particularly in fragile and hard‑to‑reach areas.
The consultancy will provide time-bound technical assistance over four months to conduct rapid reconnaissance assessments (RECCE), translate findings into evidence-based county and sub-county microplans, and support coordinated delivery, monitoring, quality assurance and documentation of integrated health and nutrition outreaches.
UNICEF Tajikistan seeks to engage a national consultant to provide temporary, specialized and deliverable-based technical, analytical and coordination support to advance its expanding climate portfolio. Tajikistan is highly exposed to extreme heat, drought, floods, mudflows, landslides and glacial risks, which affect the continuity, quality and affordability of child-critical services, including education, health, nutrition, water and sanitation, social protection and energy.
The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has declared an outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease affecting Ituri and other affected or at-risk provinces. National authorities, with the support of humanitarian partners, have activated emergency coordination and response mechanisms to contain transmission and protect affected communities.
The outbreak is unfolding in a complex humanitarian environment marked by insecurity, population displacement, high mobility, constrained access to essential services and weak water, sanitation, hygiene and infection prevention and control systems. These conditions heighten the risk of transmission in health facilities and communities and require rapid, well-coordinated and technically rigorous WASH/IPC action.
The geographic expansion of the outbreak, the operational complexity of the response and the need to align interventions across national, provincial and health-zone levels require senior leadership. An experienced profile is therefore required to provide the strategic expertise, technical authority and convening capacity needed to lead UNICEF's WASH/IPC response and support Government-led coordination across affected and at-risk areas.
The overall objective of this consultancy is to support Ministry of Health (MoH) in the design and operationalization of environmentally sound and circular end-of-life management pathways for EPI cold chain equipment (CCE).
The Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA), through the Higher Council for Childhood, has finalized Lebanon’s National Early Childhood Development (ECD) Strategy. UNICEF will support MoSA to translate the Strategy into a practical and phased operational framework

The Department of Education (DepED) and UNICEF are seeking a national consultant to carry out a review of the DepED Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools (WinS) Program and make recommendations for strengthening the program effectiveness, sustainability, financing, climate/DRR integration, and monitoring.
DepED institutionalized the WinS Program through DepED Order No. 10, s. 2016, which sets policy objectives and standards to promote safe water, sanitation and hygiene practices and a clean learning environment for learners. The policy adopted the Three Star Approach (TSA) to WASH in Schools and its concept of progressive, stepwise improvements toward national WinS standards as the national strategy to help schools progressively improve WASH conditions. Over time, DepED and partners have also strengthened implementation through decentralized, school-led approaches and technical coordination mechanisms.
The purpose of this consultancy is to coordinate the implementation of the UNICEF Lao DDR Climate Strategy and prepare activities under the Safe and Clean Environment Outcome of the new Country Programme (2027-2031).
Under the supervision and technical guidance of the Supply Chain Manager, the Cold Chain and Energy Systems Engineer will provide hands-on engineering support to the Country Office for the active and passive cold chain, the associated energy systems and technical infrastructure.
