For every child, results
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.
Purpose of the Job:
Under the supervision of the Representative, the Fundraising Manager will lead the Private Sector Fundraising Strategy in the CO in line with UNICEF’s global private sector strategy.
The Fundraising Manager will develop, manage and evaluate sustainable support for UNICEF from the private sector: financial and non-financial partnerships with the corporate community in support of UNICEF’s mission and objectives in the country; the acquisition, retention and engagement of individual supporters; as well as setting Business for Results strategy and child rights in the policy and advocacy agenda and enhance the organization’s credibility and brand as a technical expert in the area of children’s rights and responsible business, innovations and communications.
The Fundraising Manager will promote the mobilization of the Business Advisory Council and Good Will Ambassadors in support of children´s rights, developing strategic partnerships in this area with the private sector, civil society and government entities. The position is also expected to provide technical inputs in line with UNICEF’s strategic Framework on Business for Results, Children´s Rights and Business, DRR and emergencies.
The Fundraising Manager will also work in the implementation of the fundraising strategy of UNICEF Dominican Republic in coordination with the Representative, Programme Officers, Communication, UNICEF Regional Office and other UN agencies.
