To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child, support 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. This is why 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. How can you make a difference? Lebanon’s electricity sector is experiencing critical challenges, including fuel shortages. This is exacerbated by the economic crisis which is causing increasingly frequent and lengthy blackouts. To address the power crisis and mitigate the impact on public health services, especially immunization, UNICEF is supporting the Ministry of Health (MoH) with the solarization of public health centers (PHCs) and dispensaries. Health facility solar electrification (HSFE) provides health facilities with sustainable electricity, enabling them to perform both routine and lifesaving health services for hard-to-reach children and communities. The electricity shortage is also having a major impact on Lebanon's education sector. Lebanon’s 1237 schools and up to 511,000 children in Grades 1-12 do not have access to reliable power supply. UNICEF is supporting the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) to install solar systems in public schools. To build on the existing Renewable Energy initiatives and to extend further support to the Government of Lebanon, UNICEF is therefore seeking to hire a qualified Electrical Engineer with a specialization in Renewable Energy/ Solar to be able to support the country office programmes and operations to designing, planning, implementing and monitoring work plans to deliver solar projects.

UNICEF's purpose in India is to support the Government in ensuring that all children, especially the most vulnerable, have their rights fulfilled and can reach their full potential in an inclusive and protective society. In response to the challenges and opportunities presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, UNICEF will shift its focus towards greater equity. This involves addressing supply-side challenges in reaching marginalized children with quality services and placing a strong emphasis on transforming harmful social and gender norms through demand-side interventions. The organization will prioritize policy advocacy, strengthening systems, generating evidence, scaling up platforms, and exploring financing options for children. Additionally, UNICEF will strengthen partnerships with frontline service providers and the private sector. The country program comprises six sectors: health, nutrition, education, child protection, water, sanitation and hygiene, climate change and environmental sustainability, and social policy. The overall goal is to ensure equitable access and utilization of gender-responsive, sustainable, high-quality social services for children and women, with a focus on girls, scheduled tribes, scheduled castes, and underserved urban and rural communities. The Communication, Advocacy, and Partnership (CAP) is a core component in programme effectiveness towards accelerating country programme results for children. CAP plays a crucial role in convening partners to advocate for child rights and is the preferred partner of Government of India in communicating for and about children and women. CAP Section's main objectives include promoting child rights by working with key stakeholders, influencing child-centred policies and investments through advocacy, and amplifying the voices of young people. It also focuses on capacity building for media, civil society organizations, and partners on child rights issues. CAP section leads external communication, media and crisis communication for UNICEF India, mobilizes celebrities and influencers for child rights awareness, and manages content production, campaigns, and donor communications through digital media. Maintaining a favorable fundraising climate and building the UNICEF brand as a knowledge broker and leveraging influencer are also important responsibilities. To support these priorities, the CAP section collaborates with the Government of India, civil society organizations, and other partners. This involves managing Long Term Agreements (LTA) and relationships with content agencies and individual vendors to provide services such as filmmaking, design, photography, writing, digital and video editing. Given the large volume of visibility and content production-related support required by programs and field offices, the CAP section plays a critical role in providing coordinated and essential support. Under the guidance of the Chief of Section, the Administrative Associate supports the planning of programme resources in compliance with policies and procedures, provides operational support to develop, execute and monitor the inputs for the country programme for timely and effective programme delivery. The Administrative Associate supports in close monitoring and reporting on the fund utilization in line with the programme implementation, including management and supervision of Long Term Arrangements (LTA) managed by CAP and the studio.

To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up! For every child, education. The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, 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. This is why 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.

To save their lives. To defend your rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for all. BACKGROUND Line 102 is a specialized service for listening, containment and guidance for the promotion, protection and dissemination of the rights of children and adolescents. It is a federal, identifiable and visible mechanism of the Comprehensive Protection System that promotes and raises awareness of the rights of children and adolescents. In situations of violation of rights, intervention is given to the local body for the application of Law 26,061 at the provincial level to ensure their restitution. That is why Lines 102 are integrated into the organizational structures of the children's areas, in order to expedite inter-institutional interventions and the comprehensive care and protection of children or adolescents. This decision of operation, in the specific areas, facilitates that the restitution is in the shortest possible time and with the least impact for those who suffer it and their environment. From practice, it contributes to giving visibility and helps to speed up referral or intervention processes and generate articulated work promotion strategies. It is a free and confidential telecommunications service, which can be accessed – from mobile or fixed telephony – by children and adolescents if they need advice, talk to a person who can listen to them or resort to a crisis situation or threat of violation of their rights. It is also available to any adult who wants to consult for issues that could affect children or adolescents. In order to strengthen comprehensive protection, Line 102 is an articulating space between children and adolescents and existing resources to provide care, guidance and support; and to promote the strengthening of community networks, thus having the possibility of acting from a comprehensive approach, from a preventive and promotional perspective. Likewise, Line 102 is a tool that provides a space for participation for boys and girls and adolescents to express their experiences, receive guidance and request support and information in situations that involve the violation of their rights. The promotion of the right to be heard and to have their opinions taken into account according to their degree of maturity and development is part of the principles that guide the interventions produced from communications with the Line. Challenges. Although important steps have been taken to ensure the existence of the service in the 24 jurisdictions of the country, there are still degrees of heterogeneity in terms of the specificity according to the guiding principles and the specialization of the personnel. On the other hand, progress is being made in the generation of call and consultation records, which allows us to recognize that the main consultants are still adults (in the period October 2020 to September 2021, only 1% of consultations were made by children or adolescents). As an essential service for NNyA, it is important that each Line 102 operates under minimum norms and standards and that they generate impact on the target population and the population in general. The focus will be on evaluating the knowledge and opinions of Line 102 in the target populations and the survey of the ways of concreting the service in each province. OBJECTIVES, FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES The contract is aimed at supporting the consolidation and evaluation of the quality of the services provided by Lines 102 in all jurisdictions of the country, focusing on the perception of the service by children and adolescents, in order to identify and analyze strengths, weaknesses and challenges presented by the devices. It is expected the generation of inputs for decision-making for improvement, as well as proposals for technological innovation that are required in order to advance in communication with children and adolescents. Specific Objectives * To update information on the operating characteristics of the 24 Lines 102 and their analysis based on the principles that should guide the interventions. * Reconstruct the path that demands travel when it comes to situations of violation of rights (critical path post called). * Accompany the consultation with children and adolescents that will be carried out by a civil society organization. * Propose a technological innovation -based on the proposals of children- to be implemented as a pilot test in a province to be determined. DURATION and SCOPE The consultancy is initially planned for a period of 8 months, with an expected start on October 1, 2023. The fieldwork will be carried out in all 24 Argentine jurisdictions. You must also have immediate availability and maintain permanent communication with UNICEF Argentina. The consultant must have his/her own workspace and the necessary resources to fully perform his/her functions.

To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child, hope Background & Rationale The Humanitarian Review was initiated in 2019 in response to the evaluation of the Coverage and Quality of the UNICEF Humanitarian Response and was designed to answer the questions: Does UNICEF’s current business model prepare it for an effective response to a rapidly evolving landscape of crisis, and how can UNICEF adapt its model to ensure it can respond to future humanitarian contexts and needs quickly and effectively? UNICEF undertook the Humanitarian Review to understand how its work in emergencies could be strengthened to ensure that it is a reliable and consistent partner in delivering results for children and their families. The Review is now the organization’s change management tool for implementing actions to enable a humanitarian response that fits the needs of children today and tomorrow. The final Review document was issued in October 2020, and actual implementation started in early 2021. The Review Identified 20 Desired End States With 71 Recommendations Across The Following Four Areas That Could Enhance UNICEF’s Humanitarian Action – All To Be Implemented Within Five Years (before The Launch Of The Next Global Strategic Plan For UNICEF) * Preparing for future emergencies * Humanitarian Capacity and Leadership * Corporate Commitment to Humanitarian Response * Accountability to Results for Children in Humanitarian Settings The findings and the recommendations produced by the Humanitarian Review outline both ‘quick wins’ for improved humanitarian action in the short term and the required strategic shifts in UNICEF’s response to humanitarian situations in the medium term/longer term. As we are halfway into the five-year implementation period (2021-2025) allocated to complete all the recommendations, UNICEF is seeking a consultant/institution to undertake an independent midterm review of the implementation of the Humanitarian Review. Based on the Review’s findings, the consultant will provide actionable recommendations for reinforcing accountability for implementation, scaling up progress and impact thus far, and addressing outstanding challenges. The midterm review results will be released before the February 2024 UNICEF Executive Board Meeting. How can you make a difference?

Methodology The Consultant/institution Should Propose a Methodology That They Consider Suitable To The Scope Of Work, But It Is Expected To Include The Following * Desk study: * Document review, including analysis of internal UNICEF progress reports on status of implementation and background material. * Review of Governance/Coordination Structure * Review of Implementation & Monitoring Structure * Interviews: * Semi-structured interviews, based on questions designed for different stakeholders/business owners * Interviews with Regional Emergency Advisors * Interview with selected Country Representatives * Surveys and questionnaires – covering key thematic areas of the Humanitarian Review The final methodological approach including interview schedule, field visits and data to be used in the MTR must be clearly outlined in the Inception Report and be fully discussed and agreed UNICEF and the consultant.

For every child, support The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, 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. This is why 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.

Following Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which calls for hearing the voice of children in matters that affect their lives, UNICEF and the Ministry of Education conducted a survey to ask how their children felt to 4,500 representatives of children and adolescents in Ecuador. Of those, 4 in 10 said they felt very distressed or stressed. This situation turned out to be more frequent among those who study in upper basic education or baccalaureate[i]. According to these data, of the total number of students who have felt anguish or tension, 3 out of 10 have received emotional support from teachers and the Departments of Student Counseling (DECE). The work of teachers is very valuable in this regard, since they are the ones who are providing 20% of this support. Psycho-emotional support is also demanded by teachers. According to another survey of 1,200 teachers[ii], at least 22% said they felt tense, irritated or had a sudden mood change and 18% said they had trouble sleeping. Of these, 3 out of 10 have received emotional support, mostly from the DECE Mental health is related to emotional, psychological and social well-being and affects the way we think, feel and act, determines our ability to manage stress, relate to others and is key for children, girls, adolescents and their families can get ahead. However, little information is available, highlighting the need to collect more data in this regard, prioritize the well-being of children and adolescents over academic knowledge, and strengthen access to mental health services. When children go through frequent or prolonged adversity without adequate support, the consequences can affect their long-term cognitive development, learning ability, and emotional regulation. Globally, one in seven adolescents suffers from mental disorders, and in Latin America and the Caribbean more than 16 million or 15% of children between the ages of 10 and 19 live with mental health problems and 10 children and adolescents between those ages commit suicide every day. An estimated 45,800 adolescents die by suicide each year, or more than one person every 11 minutes. These figures come from the report "The State of the World's Children 2021". According to estimates by the World Health Organization, more than 13 per cent of adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 suffer from mental disorders. This represents 86 million adolescents aged 15 to 19 and 80 million adolescents aged 10 to 14. In addition, 89 million adolescent boys aged 10-19 and 77 million adolescent girls aged 10-19 suffer from mental disorders. Although in Ecuador information has been collected through surveys, both by UNICEF and other organizations, the reality is that there is not enough data on how mental health affects children and adolescents In Ecuador, from the little evidence, there is concern about the increase in suicide in children and adolescents as evidenced by the following table According to the report, anxiety and depression accounted for 40% of these diagnosed mental health disorders; Others include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, intellectual disability, bipolar disorder, eating disorder, autism and mental health, schizophrenia and a group of personality disorders. The following table presents the suicide rate per thousand deaths according to different age groups. Table 1. Mortality by age group Age group Suicides Other causes Suicide rate per thousand deaths Total deaths Under 5 2,153 0 2,153 From 5 to 11 15 1,363 11 1,378 From 12 to 17 112 1,048 97 1,160 From 18 to 29 292 4,998 55 5,290 Over 29 450 97,217 5 97,667 Total 869 106,779 8 107,648 Source: Death Registry 2021 In Ecuador, the prevalence of mental disorders among children and adolescents aged 10 to 19 years was, for 2019, 15.4 percent (PAHO, 2020)[1]. The burden of mental and neurological disorders and substance use in children under 5 years of age is mainly due to epilepsy (57 percent) and autism (37 percent). On the other hand, in the age range between 5 and 15 years, it is mainly due to behavioral disorders (18 percent), anxiety disorders (16 percent) and headaches (15 percent) (PAHO, 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic also had an impact on the mental health of children and adolescents. According to the results of the Encovid-EC, 7 out of 10 households reported that children had suffered at least one emotional situation (rounds of October 2021 and February 2022). According to this survey, the most frequent emotions in children and adolescents during the pandemic were sadness and discouragement, aggressiveness or stubbornness, and new or recurrent fears Table 2.

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. This is why 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. * Facilitating the processing of contracts for consultants, vendors and external partners that support the office in programme delivery.

He calls this a differential and specialized approach (Article 5). In 2015, the Comprehensive Model of Attention to Victims (MIAV) was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, which aims to guarantee victims of crime and human rights violations access to truth, justice and comprehensive reparation with a systemic, psychosocial, human rights approach, of gender, differential and specialized for the recovery of the life project of the person. To this end, the Model summarizes the "procedures, actions and fundamental principles to provide immediate help, attention, assistance, protection and comprehensive reparation to victims of crime and human rights violations, as well as to promote their empowerment and prevent revictimization and secondary victimization." Throughout the Model, some provisions on the differentiated care of children and adolescents are incorporated, without expanding the way in which each process must be adapted so that the needs and characteristics of this population can be met; which opens the possibility of generating greater tools so that the victim care authorities have greater capacities to apply the differential and specialized approach established by the General Law on Victims with child and adolescent victims. Within the framework of the General Collaboration Agreement signed in December 2021 by the Government of the State of Michoacán de Ocampo and UNICEF, it seeks to develop this consultancy.

To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child, health. 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 and addressing inequity not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why 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. Mexico is going through a nutritional transition characterized by a double burden of malnutrition; where undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies coexist with a high prevalence of overweight, obesity, and chronic diseases. On one hand, over 40% of children and adolescents aged 6 to 19 years are overweight or obese, while close to 13% of children under five years suffer from stunting, and one-third of children aged 1 to 4 years suffer from anemia. Although the measures taken by the country have managed to reduce the prevalence of chronic undernutrition in children under 5 years of age, the prevalence of overweight and obesity (O&O) continues to increase in all age groups and has become one of the main public health concerns in Mexico. UNICEF is currently supporting the Government of Mexico to transform children’s diets, across three strategic priorities: i) strengthening nutrition services in the health system, ii) transforming food environments, iii) implementing behavior change programmes.

To save their lives. To defend your rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for all. UNICEF in its cooperation program (CPD) for the period 2021-2025 has established five priorities a) reduce poverty and territorial inequalities; (b) promoting early childhood development; (c) equalizing opportunities for adolescents; (d) ensure violence-free environments, as well as protection and access to justice for victims; and (e) increase society's commitment to the effective exercise of the rights of children and adolescents. In this task, it also seeks to reduce inequalities based on gender, ethnic origin, place and area of residence, migratory status or disability. The CPD is based on the principles of human rights, gender equality, equity and environmental sustainability. It has also decided to focus its action on nine provinces: Province of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba, Entre Ríos, Misiones, Chaco, Tucumán, Jujuy and Salta. To contribute to the achievement of these priorities at the territorial level, it is proposed to implement comprehensive work strategies in both urban and rural environments that face situations of greater backwardness, poverty and inequality. With this in mind, since 2020, UNICEF has maintained cooperation with civil society and community-based organizations with a broad field presence. This work began during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to mitigate food insecurity, prevent the spread of coronavirus and bring information to families living in popular neighborhoods on various issues associated with care, violence prevention, breastfeeding and nutrition. Cooperation with organizations in the communities has made it possible to expand UNICEF's presence in the territory through activities such as: the provision of supplies for canteens and picnic areas, the provision of hygiene items to families in vulnerable situations, the implementation of workshops on children's rights, care and upbringing, breastfeeding, the strengthening of early childhood spaces, as well as other awareness-raising and capacity-building actions specifically aimed at children and adolescents. In addition, within the framework of this collaboration, work has been done to strengthen the accounting and administrative capacities of allied social and community organizations. At the same time, we work in an articulated way in the generation of evidence, information and research to develop communication and advocacy strategies that make visible the reality of families with children in poverty in addition to mobilizing wills and resources to enhance direct work with families in the communities where they live. In the second half of 2023, UNICEF launched a call for expressions of interest addressed to civil society organizations to submit proposals for collaboration in UNICEF's territorial strategy in popular neighborhoods and rural communities. The objective of the call is to establish alliances with social organizations that already work with vulnerable populations in the priority provinces. As a result of this process, three social organizations were identified to initiate cooperation to start in the second half of the year. The success of the strategy requires monitoring and accompaniment in the field of the implementation of the work; establish direct contact with the target populations of the interventions, document good practices and areas of opportunity in order to systematize UNICEF's actions at the community level. Likewise, for UNICEF, the installation of Accountability to the Affected Population (AAP) mechanisms is an essential element of the work in the field because its principle is to put children, adolescents and families at the center of its actions, promoting participation, security and dignified treatment. This approach aims to stop thinking of people as "mere beneficiaries" to recognize their active role within the policies and programs that involve and affect them, that is, active protagonists. The objective is that the recipients of the interventions influence and be part of the decisions related to their own needs, taking into account the particularities of each community, allowing their voice to be heard equally and incorporated into the planning and execution of the projects. In turn, it allows UNICEF to analyze, during implementation, the relevance and adequacy of the interventions carried out and make those adjustments that are considered necessary. To achieve this, it is necessary to carry out a systematic process to have a permanent dialogue with the population, through relevant, transparent and secure reporting mechanisms, aligned with the dynamics of each of the territories and communities.

For every child, chance Consultancy Title: Graphics Consultant Section/Division/Duty Station: Generation Unlimited, Programme Group - NYHQ Duration: October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024 Home/ office Based: NYHQ - REMOTE About UNICEF If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you. For 75 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments. UNICEF has over 12,000 staff in more than 145 countries. BACKGROUND Purpose Of Activity/ Assignment The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere. Over the decades, UNICEF has worked to protect the rights of children of all ages — from earliest childhood through adolescence – and will continue to deliver for all children and adolescents under the five goal areas of the Strategic Plan. In recent years, UNICEF’s work to support the unique needs of adolescents has gained momentum, as the challenges facing them have come more sharply into view. The second decade of life is a time of tremendous opportunity – but for far too many adolescents, great risk and increasing challenges. Building on work across the UN with and for young people, and in line with the UN Youth Strategy, UNICEF in 2018 launched a new global partnership dedicated to skilling and connecting young people, aged 10-24, to opportunities in employment, entrepreneurship and social impact. Generation Unlimited (GenU) is centered on finding new ways to ensure that every young person is in school, learning, training, or employment by 2030 — with a focus on those in the greatest danger of being left behind, including girls, the poorest, those with disabilities, young people on the move and those affected by conflict and natural disasters. This partnership brings together leaders from governments, UN agencies, the private sector, academia, international and civil society organizations, and young people to identify, co-create and scale up innovative solutions to expand opportunities for youth. Young people participate meaningfully in the co-creation of solutions by informing, advising, and helping in implementation every step of the way. To drive awareness and advocacy around the youth skills-to-opportunity gap and secure action and investment to better prepare young people for the future of work and life, GenU requires the services and expertise of a design consultant to create visual communications materials optimized for engaging partners and advocates internally and externally during specific events and moments. The consultant will be paid on receipt of each deliverable as outlined below. This is a remote assignment.

For every child, Research UNICEF Innocenti – Global Office of Research and Foresight tackles the questions of greatest importance for children, both current and emerging. It drives change through research and foresight on a wide range of child rights issues, sparking global discourse and actively engaging young people in its work. UNICEF Innocenti explores emerging issues, identifies research gaps, brings together existing researchers, and supports or undertakes research and data collection to address critical questions and to inform policy dialogue and implementation at country level. Education is a key focus of UNICEF Innocenti, with research on education and learning to support the implementation of best practices for education systems, policies and programmes. Working with UNICEF Headquarters, regional and country offices as well as universities and international partners, the Research on Education And Development (READ) unit supports 50+ countries worldwide in conducting field research and evidence-based policy/literature reviews. Activities in the READ unit are carried out in different research streams: * Female school leaders (Women in Learning Leadership (WiLL) project) READ is establishing a new research portfolio based on emerging evidence showing positive associations between women head teachers and a range of outcomes for students, including improved learning outcomes. The Women in Learning Leadership (WiLL) mixed methods research aims to expand the evidence base on gender and school leadership, examining the differences in learning outcomes for schools led by women compared to men and understanding the behaviors and practices women adopt that contribute to these differences. WiLL also explores the current barriers preventing more women from becoming school leaders in low- and middle-income countries and the key policy levers that can increase female representation. * Teacher allocation (‘Teachers for All’ project) ‘Teachers for All’ (T4A), one of READ team’s new research projects, is seeking to expand the evidence base on educators in Africa with the aim of exploring how the allocation of primary and pre-primary schoolteachers may be optimized to improve equity in learning outcomes. The project combines quantitative and qualitative methods and builds on findings from the Time to Teach project. T4A is currently active in 11 countries. * Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (‘Data Must Speak and Southeast Asia-Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) projects) Since 2019, in line with the UNICEF Foundational Learning and Numeracy (FLN) Programme, Data Must Speak (DMS) research identifies positive deviant schools (i.e. schools that outperform others in terms of learning, equity and retention even though they operate with equivalent resources and contexts). The research explores why those positive deviant schools are outperforming others and investigates how the behaviors/practices observed in the positive deviant schools could be optimally scaled in lower performing schools. DMS is demand-driven and uses a co-creation and co-implementation mixed-methods approach combining quantitative, qualitative, and participatory implementation research as well as behavioral and scaling science, to improve uptake, replicability, and sustainability. The research is so far undertaken in 13 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. UNICEF Innocenti is also working with UNICEF East Asia and Pacific Regional Office to support the assessment of foundational literacy and numeracy skills through the South-East Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM). Six countries in the region took part in the first round of SEA-PLM in 2019. UNICEF Innocenti’s support of SEA-PLM involves secondary data analysis to produce thematic regional reports as well as supporting country-level reporting and the development of subsequent rounds of the assessment. * Digital learning (Learning Passport, Accessible Digital Textbooks, Akelius) Leveraging UNICEF’s Global Reach And Local Capacity, The Digital Learning Portfolio Embeds Action Research Into Digital Learning Partnerships To Inform And Improve The Way That Governments, UNICEF, And Partners * Deliver digital learning offline - The Learning Passport partnership between UNICEF and Microsoft has developed a fully interactive digital learning experience that is contextualized for each of the 19 countries where it is currently deployed and can be used without the internet. * Unlock opportunities for children with disabilities The Accessible Digital Textbooks initiative develops digital learning tools with features that allow children with disabilities to engage with the same content and in the same classroom as their peers. Currently implemented in 6 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa. * Develop foundational skills with a fun learning app - The UNICEF – Akelius Foundation partnership co-creates and implements an interactive and gamified digital learning app for language and math in 9 countries across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. * Early childhood education The early years of a child’s life are critical to building the foundations of learning that help them succeed in school and beyond. READ has established a new research portfolio to use research to support early childhood education system strengthening. Activities in this theme includes an evidence review into what works, how and in what context to improve equitable access to and learning quality in pre-primary education as well as a report into gender-transformative early childhood education systems. This year the team is focusing on implementation research into quality assurance in early childhood education and regional benchmarking of early childhood education systems. * Inclusive education for children with disabilities -Learning is For Everyone (LiFE) READ is establishing a new research portfolio on disability-inclusive education. This portfolio will build on the joint UNICEF/GPE/UNESCO/FCDO Guidelines for Education Sector Analysis (ESA) Volume III chapter on inclusive education for children with disabilities and on a current project to develop and trial resources to support parents and caregivers of children with disabilities with learning in inclusive settings. * The purpose of this call is to solicit applications from individuals who are interested in working with the Research on Education And Development (READ) unit in a consultant capacity on either a part time or full time basis, either on-site in Florence, Italy or remotely.

For every child, Education The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, 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. This is why 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.

UNICEF South Africa UNICEF is committed to realising the rights of all children to help them build a strong foundation and have the best chance of fulfilling their potential. We believe that ensuring a child is happy and healthy begins before birth: from ensuring their mother has access to good health care to reaching adulthood as a healthy, empowered and informed young person of the next generation. This journey relies on every child having access to quality health care, good nutrition, education, and growing up in a safe environment free from violence. UNICEF South Africa, there for every child. South Africa (RSA) is a middle-income country more than 27 years into the advent of democracy with remarkable progress to improve the well-being of its citizens. South Africa is recognised for its strong legislative framework and policies, including implementing children’s rights as articulated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, enshrined in the Constitution of RSA and the Children’s Act (we need to rephrase this sentence). South Africa is faced with many challenges including enduring poverty, inequality, and unemployment, which impact the lives of children. Almost two-thirds of South African children live below the upper bound of the poverty line with children in rural areas and those living in female-headed households, particularly at risk. The fast-developing and continuously changing information and communication technology (ICT) environment is reshaping children's lives globally. Now more than ever, children are increasingly relying on online and mobile technologies to learn, participate, play, entertain and socialise. The digital age has brought opportunities to children and its use has been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite the many positive opportunities it provides, the internet also increases children's risk of abuse and exploitation, and compounds offline risks and negative experiences such as bullying and harassment, exposure to pornographic and other potentially harmful materials, and possible dangerous contacts. In RSA, there are pockets of online projects that require coordination and synergy to ensure a meaningful impact on the safety of children online. Furthermore, the National Study on the online safety of children in South Africa, conducted in 2018 by the UNISA Bureau of Market Research (BMR), highlighted the importance of strengthening coordination for the effective utilization of resources across the country. The Department of Social Development, as the coordinating line department for online safety, have expressed the need for onsite administrative support. The administrative support provided by this consultancy will strengthen programme implementation and more accountability. Disrupting Harm is an unprecedented multi-country research project generating evidence on the nature and scope of online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA) and the national response systems in place to combat this threat. The study includes 13 countries across the East Asia and Pacific region and the Eastern and Southern Africa region, including South Africa. Supported by the Fund to End Violence Against Children, Disrupting Harm draws on the expertise of ECPAT International, INTERPOL, UNICEF, and their networks of both national and global partners. The evidence generated for the Disrupting Harm in South Africa national report will highlight key steps for policymakers, law enforcement, civil society, the general public, and others to further disrupt the harm of online sexual exploitation and abuse to children in South Africa. How can you make a difference? Under the supervision of the Child Protection Specialist, the consultant will (a) strengthen the capacity of the Department of Social Development (DSD) by supporting the development of the Model of National Response in the country (MNR) considering the Disrupting Harm Study recommendations (b) provide technical support to the Steer-Comm (Steering Committee) as they perform their oversight functions, and (c) strengthen coordination of different stakeholders working towards the protection of children online.

For every child, hope https://youtu.be/3BzOQ6lG9Y4 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. This is why 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.

And we never give up. For every child, a champion BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE UNICEF's core mission is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does - in its programmes, advocacy and operations. The equity strategy, which focuses on 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 the opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favouritism. To the extent that a child does not have the same opportunities in life - in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions - his or her rights are violated. It is increasingly clear that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens — by addressing inequality — will not only give all children the opportunity to realize their potential, but will also lead to sustained growth and stability in countries. That's why the focus on equity is so important. It accelerates progress towards the realization of the human rights of all children, which is UNICEF's universal mandate, as outlined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while supporting the equitable development of nations.

For every child, Sanitation UNICEF has been working in Cameroon since 1975 to allow women and children to fully realize their rights to development without restriction, as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF provides financial and technical support to Cameroon across seven areas to fully realize the rights of women and children. These areas include Health, HIV/AIDS, Water-sanitation-Hygiene, nutrition, education, child protection, and social inclusion. UNICEF focuses mainly on children and the most vulnerable and excluded families. Cameroon’s 2020 population is estimated at 26,545,863 people according to UN data. The population is young and generates strong socioeconomic demand. In rural areas, limited access to basic social services and the effects of climate change led to household impoverishment and severe child deprivations. The task is immense but not insurmountable; it requires the energy of all stakeholders in Cameroon and outside of Cameroon: also, women, men, youth and children, government, technical and financial partners, donors, civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians, and communities. Everyone is invited to take part in the struggle to meet the challenges that lie ahead. It is together that we will act for Cameroon, a country that summarizes the challenges and hopes of Africa.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child, an advocate Scope of work Background A model of care rooted in the biomedical ‘disorder’ approach to mental health has been pervasive in Europe and Central Asia Region (ECAR), resulting in clinical care and treatment often being prioritized over interventions aimed at promoting mental health or preventing distress. This has resulted in the region having the highest proportion of mental health service users in institutionalized psychiatric care globally over a community-based approach focused on addressing the entire spectrum of mental health needs. Research indicates that language used to describe mental health and substance use conditions can negatively impact help seeking behavior (Volkow, et al., 2021). High stigma along with the traditional (medicalized) approach to mental health and wellbeing has negatively affected demand for mental health services, including where such services are available. To accelerate the mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) priority in Europe and Central Asia (ECAR), dedicated capacity for Social and Behavior Change (SBC) and community engagement (a change strategy in UNICEF programming) to address stigma around MHPSS at the societal and individual levels in a targeted manner is required. Purpose of Activity/Assignment The primary objective of this dedicated consultancy is to support selected CO’s in ECAR in the identification of positive language around MHPSS, as part of a multi-country exercise supported by ECARO. The consultant will provide technical assistance in the identification of attitudes, beliefs, behavioral determinants influencing acceptance and use of MHPSS, the current terms and language associated with that and their effect. The consultant will support country level mapping, consultation workshops, and SBC strategy formation aimed at shifting harmful language, cultural symbols and behavioral attitudes associated with mental health. The consultant will work under the guidance of the Regional Health Advisor and in close collaboration with ECARO SBC Specialist and Adolescent MHPSS Consultant. The consultancy will be home-based, with possible short travel to CO’s (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kirgizstan) and the Regional Office (RO) as needed. Description Of The Assignment The expected deliverables will be developed and delivered in consultation with UNICEF between September 2023 and May 2024. The scope of work will include the following tasks: * Desk review of relevant publications, reports etc. on mental health stigma, mental health promotion and behavioral change initiatives in the selected countries, including analysis of social media and networks, popular culture products and other relevant sources, related to mental health and stigma and key informant interviews with UNICEF and key stakeholders to understand and document: * approaches to mental health, * attitudes, beliefs and misconceptions associated to mental health and use of MHPSS, * types of available services, how they operate and their beneficiaries, * gaps in knowledge related to the continuum of mental health, * language and expressions related to the continuum of mental health, * Develop a protocol and tools to guide and support local consultative workshops with MHPSS service users and service providers. The six selected countries will organize local workshops to: * Explore, understand and validate assumptions on attitudes, beliefs, misconceptions around mental health (for example source of mental health issues; image of people with mental health issues etc.) and MHPSS (type of services available; perception of these services; use of services etc.) and map the language / key terms used in these countries in association with mental health and MHPSS and their (positive, neutral or negative) connotations; and * explore and define a set of positive, non-stigmatizing and non-threatening terms, expressions and language related to mental health and MHPSS that could be used in the respective countries when engaging with adolescents, young people and the public. To support and guide these local workshops, the consultant will: * Support countries in setting up Advisory Boards (one per country) comprised by representatives of key stakeholders (MHPSS service users/people with lived experience, relevant academic and governmental partners etc.). * Develop and propose a methodology to organize and run the workshops. The methodology will propose the number of workshops to be organized with different audiences, ensuring participants with different profiles are included (rural/urban, boys/girls, men/women, age groups etc.). The consultant is also expected to propose an approach that supports active engagement of participants. Key informant interviews will be considered for specific stakeholders who cannot be included in workshops, not to influence the group dynamics and the opinions of other participants. The methodology will be based on the desk review and key informant interviews conducted under task 1 (inception phase). * Develop a protocol/guide for running the local workshop. The protocol will contain a proposed agenda/flow, engagement methods/approaches with the participants and tools to be considered. The protocol will contain participatory approaches, encouraging and empowering participants to brainstorm, express opinions, debate, build consensus, along with proposed reflection questions for each session, to guide engagement and discussions around the topics listed above. It will also contain an ethics section for activities involving children. The final protocol will be agreed with UNICEF. * Provide support to country teams in adapting the proposed methodology, approaches and tools and conducting the local workshops. The consultant will provide individual support to country teams in preparation of workshops, adaptation and finalization of workshops agenda, flow, methods, approaches and tools. The consultant may be required to travel to some of these countries to provide direct support in preparing and running the workshops. * Support country teams in ‘sense-making’ and formulation of new proposed languages around mental health and MHPSS following the local workshops. The consultant will review the workshop outputs and articulate a proposed set of terms/language to be considered in the region/these countries when communicating about mental health and MHPSS. An initial draft will be submitted to the Regional Office and country offices for their review and comments. An online webinar will be conducted to present the final proposed terms/language, in Russian. The country offices will work on developing a similar set of terms/language in their local languages. Develop a SBC/promotion strategy to socialize and promote the new language on mental health, wellbeing and MHPSS. The strategy will identify and propose country-specific platforms, approaches and activities to socialize and promote the new language in the six countries. It will focus on promoting the new language among adolescents/youth, practitioners and the general public, and will explore digital and offline opportunities. * Support presentation of the new proposed terminology/language at the sub-regional conference on mental health in 2024. The consultant will support UNICEF in presenting and validating the new terminology/language with the conference participants. Any adjustments following the feedback received from the conference participants will be made accordingly. * Help to liaise with WHO, Pan-European Coalition for Mental Health, Academia and other relevant stakeholders at regional level for the identification and dissemination of positive language around MHPSS. * Develop end of project report with achievements and lessons learnt in the six countries participating in this effort.

To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child, a champion. 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. This is why 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.

For every child, chance Consultancy Title: Consultant: Documenting country experiences on innovations for improving complementary feeding Section/Division/Duty Station: Nutrition and Child Development Team, Programme Group - NYHQ Duration: September 30, 2023 to May 30, 2024 Home/ office Based: NYHQ – REMOTE (Consultant will be home based with travel if needed) About UNICEF If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you. For 75 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments. UNICEF has over 12,000 staff in more than 145 countries. BACKGROUND Purpose Of Activity/ Assignment Document the effectiveness and learning related to the programming and use of the innovation complementary feeding bowl and spoon for improving complementary feeding. Background The complementary feeding ‘bowl and spoon’ developed by UNICEF contributes to addressing the two main pillars of infant and young children’s diets: what children eat (complementary foods) and when and how they are fed (complementary feeding practices). This innovative project was born out of a need to strengthen infant and young child feeding counselling programmes with a tool that could serve as an easy reminder for caregivers on nutrition messages. The bowl and spoon draws on initial prototype research from Emory University, which explored and documented the impact of using a feeding bowl to support key messaging around young children’s diets and a slotted spoon to emphasise the right food consistency. UNICEF conducted a series of comprehensive consultations and engaged in an innovation process to further develop the product. As a result, the design was modified to incorporate new features that address dietary diversity and hygiene while implementing a more child-friendly and inclusive design, in line with UNICEF’s Programming Guidance for young children’s diets. This tool is currently being integrated in 13 countries with UNICEF nutrition programmes: Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Burundi, Malawi, State of Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Mozambique, Madagascar, Uganda, Senegal, and Burkina Faso. Following a country-level situation analysis, in line with government priorities, countries have each customized their bowls to reflect national food groups and selected their preferred implementation strategies. As a result, the bowl and spoon have been included within a range of IYCF programmes, food fortification actions, and wider dietary diversity initiatives. Each country is offering a unique learning opportunity where the tool is integrated into existing platforms and networks ranging from primary healthcare facilities, community health and nutrition workers, mother-to-mother support groups, farmers groups, or IYCF counsellors. Some countries have incorporated the complementary feeding bowl and spoon as an early childhood development tool. As other stimulating materials, the complementary feeding bowl and spoon promote parents’/caregivers’ engagement with children and children’s early development. Results to date suggest this tool can support efforts to improve feeding practices and foods for young children and maximise the impact of nutrition programmes for IYCF for a relatively small additional cost. The first few years of this project, with implementation initially on a small scale, allow for robust data collection and the development of a greater understanding of the different delivery platforms employed and possible ways to maximise impact. This learning will inform and support the subsequent scale-up of the project such as needed product iteration, applicability in emergency settings, partnership and programme integration and optimized efficacy, equity, and sustainability. The learning will also inform the contribution of the tool in improving child development. Scope Of Work A consultant is needed to provide technical leadership in undertaking a thorough documentation of the effectiveness and learnings related to the use of this innovation particularly on feeding practices. The documentation is also an opportunity to provide learning on the acceptability of the product as well as other unintended outcomes such as inclusivity and early childhood development. Deliverables * Develop a methodology for conducting the documentation: the consultant will provide a study outline including methodology and tools for conducting the documentation based on a review of relevant documents and meeting with UNICEF’s nutrition specialist and innovation specialist. * Conduct an initial documentation of the use of the bowl and spoon in all 13 countries: based on the suggested methodology which may include key informant interviews, meetings, desk reviews, questionnaires etc., the consultant will document how the tool is used and what are preliminary findings related to the effectiveness and lessons learned. * Conduct an in-depth documentation of the effectiveness of the use of the tool in three countries that have distinct contexts: based on the suggested methodology which may include conducting a case study, the consultant will document the effectiveness of the tool in relation to different outcomes including complementary feeding practices, and child development in three selected countries. Document the findings and recommendations in a final report and publication: the consultant will produce a narrative of the results and findings of the documentation including a set of recommendations for scale-up of the project such as product iterations, applicability in emergency settings, partner and programme integration and optimized efficacy, equity, and sustainability.

UNICEF’s office is accessible to a certain extent, and employees are entitled to reasonable accommodations that are needed for ensuring equitable working conditions. The environmental degradation and climate change effects have a significant impact on children. Their physical and mental development, as well as their status within the society, make them particularly vulnerable to environmental harm that can have irreversible, lifelong and transgenerational consequences. Adverse environmental conditions and pollution are major contributor to childhood deaths, illnesses and disability, particularly in developing countries. Children are particularly vulnerable to certain environmental risks, including air pollution, inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene; hazardous chemicals and waste, radiation; climate change-floods, landslides and heatwaves; as well as emerging threats like e-waste. Unfortunately, the Serbian environmental legislative framework, both national and local, does not sufficiently recognize children as a particularly sensitive group, nor does it contain provisions that would provide children with an additional degree of protection, or specifically refer to children in realizing their right to a healthy environment. Even though decisions related to environmental issues greatly affect the quality of life and the future of children and young people, they rarely have the opportunity to participate in the processes of decision-making. In June 2023, the Program of Adaptation to Climate Change with Action Plan (NAP) draft was introduced for public consultations and hopefully will be adopted by the end of the 2023, providing an opportunity to address child rights issues more in-depth and as it deserves, as well as, to reinforce the prevention and response to climate-change related hazards. Involving youth as active participants of the consultative process for NAP and other policies on the national and local level will increase ownership over these important processes by young people, sensitise them for long term action and increase sustainability of the interventions. In addition, raising awareness of all relevant stakeholders will further improve the quality of the response and resilience of the population. Work Assignment Overview The Consultant for Climate & Environment will support the UNICEF Serbia programme teams with technical expertise to ensure that youth, health, nutrition, WASH, climate resilience, and other efforts are technically sound, linked to global and regional climate & environment efforts, and seizing emerging opportunities for promoting this agenda for the benefit of children and young people in Serbia. Duration of the assignment: September 2023 – December 2024 (part-time, remote) Task Description * Support UNICEF’s engagement around the lead-up to COP28 and post-COP28 events. * Support UNICEF’s engagement on bringing forth a child rights perspective around the National Adaptation Plan, Nationally Determined Contributions, Chapter 27 and other relevant national and local policies, including children and youth. * Support UNICEF engagement in strengthening local policies for addressing climate hazards and WASH bringing forth child and adolescents’ rights perspective. * Support UNICEF’s engagement in advancing local and business activation in reducing and mitigating the impact of air pollution bringing forth the child and youth rights perspective. * Following a climate donor mapping to be completed by October 2023, support the Country Office to engage in donor proposal development, and consultations with stakeholders and potential partners. * Develop information packages for youth and parents on environmental/climate impact on children and youth inclusive of related climate hazards linked to WASH. Knowledge/Expertise/Skills Required * A university degree in Environmental Sciences, Social Sciences, International Development or Public Administration. * A minimum of 5 year of relevant work experience in areas related to children’s rights, environmental issues, international development, children’s health, and/or climate change and sustainable energy. * Knowledge and working experience in environmental issues related to air pollution and climate change impacts, with the special focus on the situation in Serbia. * Demonstrated experience in conducting or facilitating participatory monitoring, evaluation and learning initiatives. * Proven capacity to work with cross-functional teams in collating, managing, sharing knowledge and learning. * Excellent analytical and writing skills, as well as advocacy and presentational skills. * Experience in working within UNICEF or other UN/international entities and/or familiarity with the work of UNICEF is an asset. * Fluency in both Serbian and English are required.
