UNICEF is currently updating its Finance for Children Framework, which entails having a clear picture on what UNICEF country offices are undertaking at country level. To ensure having sound data and knowledge management on UNICEF’s work on finance for children over the last couple of years, UNICEF has established a Global Mapping Excel data base in July 2023, to document the Finance for Children experiences.
The data base includes a stocktake of UNICEF’s public finance for children work undertaken at country level over the last years (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021,2022 and 2023) based on existing resources. The global mapping data base will better inform the update of UNICEF’s new Finance for Children framework. The data base was extensively updated this year, and as of December 2024, the excel data base includes country experiences across 147 countries and captures more than 388 country experiences. This data base is used as a public good available for regional and country offices for trend analysis, and for knowledge exchange. The data base will be a “live” document to be updated/ reviewed on regular basis.
The goal of this online project is to update the global mapping with country experiences from 2024, utilizing available online sources provided by UNICEF. Additionally, it aims to develop an interactive dashboard that will serve as a tool for experience sharing among country offices, regional offices and HQs.

- Facilitate and manage the current database, ensuring the accuracy of newly added information, and serve as the primary point of contact for making updates and modifications.
- The average estimated workload is expected to include approximately: reviewing a maximum of 7 online UNICEF reports (these can include UNICEF Country Office Reports as well as regional and global reports) over the course of the assignment duration. This is an average of 1 report to be reviewed over the span of 2 weeks. There will be flexibility depending on the availability of online published documents.
