UNICEF is recruiting to fill the following positions:

1.) WASH Contractor- Knowledge Management
2.) Technical International Consultant for Digital Public Goods

See job details and how to apply below.

 

1.) WASH Contractor- Knowledge Management

Job no: 546299

Position type: Consultancy

Location: Sierra Leone Division/Equivalent: Dakar (WCAR), Senegal

School/Unit: Sierra Leone

Department/Office: Freetown, Sierra Leone

Categories: WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene)

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. 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, safe environment

Please access UNICEF Sierra Leone information here and here

How can you make a difference?

Achieving universal access to safely managed WASH services in Sierra Leone by 2030, in line with the sustainable development goals (SDGs), will require dramatic acceleration in current progress rates with a concerted effort to reach those at risk of being left behind. In recognition of these facts, there is a critical need to mobilize more investments to the sector to sustain the gains made so far and accelerate access to WASH services to the teeming vulnerable population in rural and peri-urban households, schools, and health facilities at risk of being left behind. Key to investment mobilization for the sector in evidence generation for making investment case for the sector as well as improvement in sector coordination to ensure that every investment count.

Purpose of Assignment : Information management and evidence generation remains a critical need in the WASH sector in Sierra Leone as evidenced from recent ASHWA evaluation as one of the key setbacks in driving evidence-based planning, investment mobilization, and results management in the sector. In the recent past, UNICEF supported the Ministry of Water Resource to develop a national Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and implementation plan. This followed a national WASH infrastructure mapping exercise conducted in 2016 with and follow-up in 2019. Subsequently, in 2019, the Ministry launched a national digital WASH platform (built on Akvo-Flow) for managing WASH data. The Ministry of Water Resources equally deployed mappers at the various districts to strengthen district-level capacity to collect, collate and input data. Despite these efforts, the uptake and implementation of the M&E framework remain a challenge. Currently, routine data collection and updates are not taking place at any level, while the existing data has become stale and obsolete. This situation has also been worsened by the weak coordination amongst the sector actors, which has often led to duplication, wastages, and lack of coherent approaches. There has equally been a high level of staff attrition as most staff trained on data management had moved on to other endeavours. To reverse this trend the Ministry has requested for an inhouse individual contractor to provide technical support to the Ministry in the area of coordination and evidence generation.

Objectives of the Assignment:

The coordination and monitoring contractor will facilitate all intra-sectoral and inter-sectoral engagements between the Ministry and other sector actors and line Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). The individual contractor will also support routine data collection process and the updates that will be taking place all level in the Ministry. He will work in close liaison with UNICEF WASH Team to support the Ministry to roll out key strategies and activities on evidence generation and sector coordination. He will work closely with the management of the Ministry and other key technical staff to ensure that activity proposals are promptly articulated, implemented, and liquidated. The Individual contractor will also organize in house trainings, coaching and mentoring for key staff of the Ministry. The individual contractor will also organize and facilitate routine training of the district WASH engineers and mappers to collect, collate and input data on the national system.

S/He is expected to support content management for all existing sector information management platforms and provide overall quality control for the platforms. He will also support in documentation of key process and output, including sector performance reports and ensure wider dissemination amongst stakeholders.

Position type: Consultancy

Location: Sierra Leone Division/Equivalent: Dakar (WCAR), Senegal

School/Unit: Sierra Leone

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.

“To realize the SDGs’ vision of a world in which no one is left behind, we need to go beyond business as usual – investing in innovation and building broader, bolder partnerships that help us reach every child.” UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta H. Fore
