Contract

This is a Consultancy contract. More about Consultancy contracts.

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, Prosperity

In the 1970s UNICEF established presence in Yemen to respond to the urgent needs of children in the poorest country in the Middle East. In 1991, Yemen ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child and it was enacted immediately. Since then the country has been making steady progress for children until it plunged into a brutal conflict in 2015 but even before that, Yemen needed large amounts of humanitarian assistance.

In collaboration with local authorities, non-governmental organizations and community partners, UNICEF is working in all the governorates in Yemen to respond to the needs of children throughout the country with a continuum of services to help children survive and grow to their full potential through the following programmes: Health, Nutrition, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Basic Education, and Child protection.

How can you make a difference?

This consultancy post is open for national and/or international applicants as Unicef is seeking for a qualified person to conduct the tasks of the consultancy.

To make a difference in the lives of children, you will be responsible for the following key functions:

  • The objective of the evaluation is to inform a revision of UNICEF Yemen’s documentation system. More specifically, the evaluation aims to assess UNICEF’s current documentation structures and practices and make recommendations for improving them. Findings and recommendations will generate timely actions to strengthen documentation and its role in knowledge and information management at UNICEF Yemen.
  • Primary users will be the UNICEF programme staff at the country level who would use the evaluation’s findings to improve documentation and knowledge/information management at UNICEF Yemen.
  • Furthermore, at a time when donors are cutting funding for humanitarian and development aid around the world and calls for accountability to affected populations are growing louder, this evaluation will provide recommendations that will enable UNICEF Yemen to better respond to such demands in a well-informed, timely, and efficient manner.
