UNICEF’s Office of Strategy and Evidence (OSE) spearheads the organization’s efforts to strengthen management for programme results in all aspects of UNICEF’s work, including in humanitarian operations - in close collaboration with the Emergency Operations (EMOPs) and Programme Group. OSE also works very closely with colleagues in Country Offices around the world, as well as Regional Offices to support programme planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting.
As part of the Future Focus Initiative, some of the humanitarian programme management functions have been transferred to OSE from EMOPs to enhance the synergies between the two divisions, highlight areas for continued collaboration, deepen integration, streamline processes, and strengthen the quality and use of evidence across the entire programme management cycle in all contexts. This transition process will be supported through a consultancy in OSE and EMOPs.
Responsibilities
The consultant will be embedded within the Programme Effectiveness Team (PET) and will work closely with all relevant units in OSE as well as the relevant teams and consultants in EMOPs. Under the direct supervision of the Programme Manager in PET and general guidance of the Deputy Director, the consultant will be responsible for facilitating the simplification, integration and streamlining of humanitarian and development response planning and monitoring processes and programme data management – to ensure coherent support to Country and Regional Offices.
