Le Gouvernement de la République démocratique du Congo, à travers le Projet d’Apprentissage et d’Autonomisation des Filles (PAAF), et l’UNICEF collaborent pour renforcer l’accès à des services d’eau, d’assainissement et d’hygiène (EAH/WASH) sûrs, inclusifs et résilients au climat dans les écoles ciblées des provinces du Kasaï, du Kasaï Central, du Kasaï Oriental et de l’Ituri.
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.

Bhutan is increasingly experiencing the impacts of climate change, with rising temperature variability, changing weather patterns, and growing pressure on natural resources affecting children’s learning environments. Many schools, particularly in remote areas, rely heavily on fuelwood for cooking and heating, contributing to deforestation and indoor air pollution. At the same time, frequent power outages and inefficient energy systems disrupt teaching and learning, limit access to digital education, and compromise safety. School infrastructure is often not climate resilient. Poor insulation, lack of heating or cooling, and inadequate lighting affect student comfort, concentration, and performance, while weak waste management systems pose environmental and health risks.
