Background

In sub-Saharan Africa, UNICEF provides analytical and technical support in child poverty analysis, public financial management and social protection, including emergency cash transfers, in order to support more equitable and sustainable results for children. To support Country Offices in their work in these areas, UNICEF has two Regional Offices, one for Eastern and Southern Africa Region (ESARO), based in Kenya, and one supporting Western and Central Africa Region (WCARO), located in Senegal. The Regional Offices have established regional rosters of consultants to facilitate the swift engagement of social and economic policy expertise. However, given the similar profiles of candidates across the continent, UNICEF is now in the process of updating this roster, which will be utilized by Country Offices throughout sub-Saharan Africa for different assignments.

How can you make a difference?

Scope of Work and Duties

UNICEF ESARO and WCARO invites qualified experts to express their interest in being included in the Roster of Consultants to deliver advisory services, access to knowledge, and technical expertise to UNICEF’s social policy portfolio in the following areas:

  • Child poverty analysis and advocacy
  • Public finance for children (PF4C)
  • Child-sensitive social protection
  • Emergency cash transfers

Consultants may provide a range of advisory services to UNICEF’s Regional Offices, Country Offices and their government partners in the four thematic areas above. The range of tasks for the consultants may include research and assessments, diagnostic missions, provision of strategic and operational guidance, training and capacity building, development of policy papers, and monitoring and evaluation. Precise tasks, outputs, reporting and working relationships will be specified at the time of contracting for the given assignments.

The roster will serve as human resources repository from which the Regional Offices or Country Offices can draw pre-vetted, well-qualified experts quickly and efficiently for assignments. Note that experts may specialize in more than one of the desired fields. It is therefore requested that candidates self-identify both their field and tier of expertise as well as their language proficiencies.
