UNICEF was created with a distinct purpose in mind: to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. We advocate for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s future
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.
Strategic office context
In on-going humanitarian situations, risk informed performance monitoring is essential to support effective response. Operating in humanitarian situations is associated with high-risk programme design risks of “doing harm”, implementation and financial management risks due to a scale up in operations, often after a sudden increase in resources, and reputational risk. The best strategy to demonstrate effectiveness is through solid, high frequency performance information that enables demonstration of results for the affected population. Furthermore, having adopted the Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfers (HACT), UNICEF is committed to implementing appropriate assurance activities in all situations, including in emergency, crises and post conflict countries. This role will contribute to strengthening UNICEF’s capacity to support risk informed monitoring in Haiti.
