National Consultant - Assessment of Provincial Planning, Budgeting, Procurement, and PHC Service Delivery for Vaccines and Nutrition Commodities, Pretoria, South Africa (remote) 12 months Req#594332
South Africa’s health system relies on provincial governments to allocate budgets and procure essential
commodities, including vaccines and nutrition supplies, within a decentralized fiscal framework. While national
authorities are responsible for forecasting needs, provincial autonomy in budgeting and procurement decisions
can result in misalignment between planned requirements and actual resource allocation. This contributes to
variability in commodity availability across provinces, affecting service delivery and outcomes. Given that
vaccines and nutrition commodities are critical inputs for Primary Health Care (PHC), disruptions in their
availability can undermine continuity of care, equity, and the effectiveness of child health services, ultimately
impacting child health outcomes such as immunisation coverage, nutritional status, morbidity, and mortality.

Consultant for development of Air Quality Strategy for UNICEF. Islamabad Pakistan.WASH.6 Months. Nationals Only.Office based ( with Travel)#594326
Air pollution is one of the leading environmental health risks globally. The State of Global Air 2025 reports that
approximately 36% of the global population was exposed to PM2.5 concentrations exceeding 35 µg/m³ in 2023, while nearly
2.6 billion people remain exposed to household air pollution from the use of solid fuels1
. Globally, air pollution contributes
significantly to morbidity and mortality, with children being particularly vulnerable due to their developing respiratory
systems and higher exposure rates.
Air pollution arises from both outdoor (ambient) sources such as transport, industry, waste burning, and agriculture and
indoor (household) sources, primarily the use of biomass fuels for cooking and heating. Household air pollution remains a
major challenge in low- and middle-income countries, contributing to a high burden of disease among women and children2
.
Pakistan is among the countries most affected by poor air quality. The country’s annual mean PM2.5 levels remain
significantly above WHO guideline values, and a substantial proportion of the population continues to rely on polluting fuels
for cooking. WHO estimates indicate that approximately 47% of the population lacks access to clean cooking fuels, highlighting the scale of indoor air pollution exposure
In addition, Pakistan experiences recurrent seasonal smog episodes, particularly in Punjab, driven by vehicular emissions, industrial activity, agricultural burning, and meteorological conditions.

Consultant for the revision of Water Safety Plans manual in Timor-Leste. Dili. WASH. 6 Months. Office Based (With Travel)#594318
The consultant intends to support the Ministry of Health (MoH) in review and revise country Water Safety Plan manual through desk review, site visits, WASH stakeholder consultations and national validations
Background:
Timor-Leste has made significant progress in improving access to water supply since its independence in 2002; however, challenges remain in ensuring safe, reliable, and good-quality drinking water. Based on Timor-Leste Population and Housing
Census in 2022, while national access to basic water services has reached around 84.3%, more than 54% of households are still facing water shortages during the past six months. Furthermore, the absence of water quality database and institutional arrangement to maintain water quality data creates a major gap in maintaining improved water quality across the country.
Many rural water systems are poorly managed, making them vulnerable to contamination from human and animal waste,
environmental factors, and climate-related events like heavy rains and landslides. Poor quality of water for drinking and household use leads to ongoing public health concerns, including possible outbreak of waterborne diseases.

Hearing and Ear Care Consultant in Federated States of Micronesia (FSM).12 Months. Pohnpei. Internationals only(With Travel).#594282
UNICEF is supporting the Government of Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) in implementing the ATscale-supported
project titled “Unlock Healthy Learning in the Pacific: Improving access to assistive technology and related
rehabilitation services for school-aged children”, with a view to increasing access to vision, hearing, and mobility
assistive technology (AT) for school-aged children. The project aims to screen approximately 15,000 children and
provide appropriate assistive products and services to approximately 1,500 school-aged children in FSM. In parallel,
the project will strengthen national systems by establishing functional multi-sectoral referral pathways, building
workforce capacity, and improving supply chains through a unified regional approach featuring pooled procurement
and harmonized standards.
In FSM, access to hearing and ear care (HEC) services remains limited. The burden of hearing impairment and ear
disease is not well documented, reflecting limited routine screening, diagnostic capacity, and data systems. Service
provision is constrained by shortages of trained personnel and limited availability of essential equipment and tools for
screening, diagnosis, and treatment. As a result, many children with hearing and ear conditions are not identified or do
not receive timely and appropriate care, with implications for their learning and development.

Recrutement d'un consultant international pour le développement d'une stratégie de renforcement du corps de travail des services sociaux au Burundi.Bujumbura. Internationals Only. Home based with Travel#594252
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.

Assistant(e) technique au MEFB (Budget Programme dans 11 ministères pilotes), Conakry, République de Guinée/ Politique sociale, 12.5 mois (basé au bureau)
Le Gouvernement de la République de Guinée s’est engagé dans un approfondissement de ses réformes de gestion des finances publiques (GFP), conformément à la directive de la CEDEAO relative aux lois de finances et d’autres cadre de convergence qui servent de benchmark telles que certaines directives pertinentes de l’UEMOA même si le pays n’appartient pas à cette zone monétaire. La transition d’un budget traditionnel en postes linéaires vers un budget structuré par programmes est l'un des axes majeurs de cet engagement. Cette réforme est une approche reconnue internationalement pour son orientation vers les résultats et la performance. Elle organise les dépenses publiques autour de missions, programmes et sous-programmes, chacun assorti d’objectifs clairement définis, d’indicateurs de performance et de responsables identifiés. Ce modèle renforce ainsi la redevabilité, facilite la planification pluriannuelle via le CDMT, et améliore la qualité de prestation des services publics.
Le Gouvernement veut accélérer la migration effective vers le budget-programme comme en témoigne le passage de cinq (5) ministères pilotes initialement convenu à onze (11) ministères qui vont finalement expérimentée cette approche dès 2026 comme le témoigne le Projet de Loi de Finance Initiale de 2026 adopté le 31 mars 2026 par l’organe législatif de transition.
Cette ambition affichée du gouvernement appelle à un appui technique accru pour assurer l’accompagnement des onze (11) ministères dans l’adoption et la pratique effective du budget-programme. L’extension à tous les autres ministères qui est projetée dès 2027 dépend en effet des succès et des leçons apprises lors de cette phase pilote. Il en vient qu’un appui technique dédiée à l’accompagnement des ministères pilotes est totalement justifiée.

National Individual Consultant - Legal expert - Chisinau, Moldova, Programme/Social Policy Section - 4 months (remote/work from home))
The Personal Assistance Service (PAS) is an important tool for social inclusion, enabling persons with disabilities to live independently and participate actively in community life, in line with the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which the Republic of Moldova ratified in 2010. Currently, the regulatory framework governing the organization and functioning of the PAS is defined by Law No. 60/2012 on the social inclusion of persons with disabilities and Government Decision No. 314/2012 approving the Framework Regulation on the organization and functioning of the PAS, together with the Minimum Quality Standards. However, the existing modalities for employing personal assistants and delivering the service do not adequately meet real needs, resulting in inequities in coverage, quality, and financial sustainability. While the number of beneficiaries has steadily increased in recent years, the human and financial resources allocated have not evolved proportionally to demand. The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection (MLSP) intends to revise and improve the contracting and delivery framework of the PAS to ensure a more equitable, flexible, and needs oriented system. This will include differentiating levels of support and exploring alternative financing and contracting mechanisms, with the ultimate goal of strengthening inclusion and improving the quality of life for persons with disabilities. The consultant, in coordination with the financial expert, shall prepare legislative recommendations and costing scenarios for the revision of contracting and delivery modalities of the Personal Assistance Service.
Health and Nutrition Specialist, NO-3, FT, #137781, Gaza, State of Palestine, MENA
Since October 7th, the health system in Gaza has been largely destroyed with no hospital fully functional and most Primary Health Clinics only partially functional. The health system continues to run partially on the services of INGO/NGOs, UNWRA (which seems to be functioning at scale for now), and MOH. INGOs are facing registration issues, and it remains unclear how consistently they will be able to function. UNWRA is facing issues as well that may affect their ability to function. Since the ceasefire in fall of 2025, the early recovery phase has been delayed due to an inability to access rebuilding materials and supplies, leaving the system largely on conflict-footing even now as we await the presence of a functional Board of Peace/NCAG and an International Stabilization Force. In this context, primary health services and their functionality remain critical. UNICEF expects to play the leading role in PHC recovery and rebuilding. Led by a Health Manager with a technical link to the State of Palestine Office, the Health and Nutrition Specialist will have an NOB reporting to them and will lead the work on early recovery and rebuilding of the primary health systems.

WASH Officer, NO-2, FT, , #090870, Gaza, State of Palestine, MENA
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 more 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.
