UNICEF Syria is seeking a qualified consultant to support the Country Office and the Ministry of Health in strengthening evidence-based programming to address child malnutrition. The assignment will focus on analyzing nutrition trends and translating complex data into clear, actionable insights.
Key responsibilities include conducting a comprehensive comparative analysis of nutrition indicators from the SMART 2023 and SMART 2025 surveys, and presenting findings through innovative, visually compelling formats such as infographics tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences. Building on this analysis, the consultant will develop strategic, evidence-based recommendations to support national efforts to reverse the rising trend of wasting in Syria.
In Recife, there was a significant expansion of the units enrolled: in total, 100 health units, 25 educational units and 3 social services are part of the new edition of the initiative in the city. To support the local implementation, UNICEF will hire a consultant to provide technical support to strengthen municipal teams, analyze indicators, and understand territorial dynamics, contributing to the refinement of the UAPI methodology, development of an evaluation and certification framework, monitoring tools, an integrated training calendar, and baseline/intermediate indicator analyses to improve early childhood service quality.
UNICEF, through the Centre of Excellence for WASH, Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub and in collaboration with Country Offices, is supporting the development of a Sanitation Programme Facility (SPF) to accelerate access to safely managed sanitation services to households.
This assignment will therefore focus on a desk-based analytical exercise, synthesizing available evidence into a coherent, actionable framework to support decision-making.
The purpose of this assignment is to provide ongoing technical support to the MoES and its affiliated institutions for the development, finalization, and institutionalization of Competency-Based Education (CBE) Teaching and Learning Materials (TLMs) under Component 2 of the IsDB/GPE/OFID Project (Phase II) during Year 2 (30 July 2026 – 30 June 2027). Building on the CBE TLM framework (Concept), sample units, and author capacity established in Year 1, the consultant will help convert these foundations into a finalized, validated, and field-tested set of CBE-aligned TLM lessons, together with the normative and quality-assurance mechanisms required to sustain their development, production and distribution at scale.

The assessment will generate evidence and lessons learned to inform UNICEF and UNFPA on the implementation progress, emerging results, challenges, and areas for strengthening future programmes. It will also identify operational and strategic considerations to support adaptive management, improve programme delivery modalities, and generate key recommendations and good practices identified to guide stakeholders and their partners in improving future disability-inclusive programming.
La Convention Internationale relative aux droits de l'enfant (CDE) est le socle juridique
international qui garantit à chaque enfant le droit d'être protégé contre toutes les formes de violence, de maltraitance, de négligence et d'exploitation. Pour atteindre les cibles des ODD en matière de protection de l'enfant et garantir que « personne ne soit laissé de côté », les résultats de l’impact 3 et 4 du Plan stratégique de l'UNICEF 2026-2029 visent « 100 millions d’enfants en moins dans la pauvreté multidimensionnelle » et « 350 millions d’enfants protégés contre la
violence » d’ici 2029. Conformément à la CDE, les pays ont l’obligation de prendre des mesures pour garantir que les enfants soient protégés et pris en charge par un personnel qualifié. Le corps de travail des services
sociaux joue un rôle central dans le soutien aux enfants et à leurs familles. Cet effectif est composé
d'une grande diversité de professionnels aux rôles et fonctions variés, mais qui partagent tous un
objectif commun : protéger, soutenir, promouvoir et autonomiser les personnes vulnérables.
Le corps de travail des services sociaux constitue souvent la première ligne d'intervention pour les
enfants et les familles, et le soutien ainsi que les services qu'ils proposent peuvent littéralement transformer des vies. Des professionnels qualifiés en travail social sont essentiels pour coordonner les efforts et les ressources ainsi que pour garantir des réponses adaptées aux besoins des plus vulnérables.
Investir dans ces professionnels garantit un retour sur investissement élevé pour la protection de l'enfant. À l'inverse, le manque d'investissement dans les effectifs des services sociaux compromettra tous les autres efforts visant à renforcer durablement le système de protection de l'enfant.
The purpose of this assignment is to strengthen disaster risk financing (DRF) systems for social sectors in selected Pacific
Island Countries (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu) by improving the capacity of governments and
partners to mobilize and deliver financial resources effectively to protect children and essential services during shocks.
The consultancy will support UNICEF Pacific Multi-Country Office (MCO) to enhance its role as a strategic partner in DRF
by working closely with Ministries of Finance and line ministries responsible for education, health & nutrition, child
protection, WASH, and social protection to strengthen the integration of social sectors within DRF frameworks. This
includes assessing and improving shock-responsive delivery systems (“money-out”), identifying systemic bottlenecks, and
providing targeted technical support and initial capacity-building to ensure that financial resources translate into timely
and effective support for children.
The assignment will further contribute to elevating the role of social sectors within national DRF approaches, ensuring
that financing mechanisms explicitly account for the protection of essential services and the needs of children in disaster
contexts.
In parallel, the consultancy will facilitate engagement with key regional and international partners, including PCRIC, the
World Bank, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), to align UNICEF’s work
with broader DRF initiatives and promote coordinated, multi-sectoral approaches.
Finally, the consultancy will contribute to the development of donor-ready proposals and a UNICEF DRF roadmap,
ensuring that country-level engagement and systems improvements are translated into actionable strategies,
strengthened partnerships, and resource mobilization opportunities to better protect children from disaster impacts.
