Details

The Pakistan Country office (PCO) has prioritized the establishment of a Partnerships and Resource Mobilization section as part of its new Country Programme (2023-2027). The purpose of the section is to generate engagement and funding to support UNICEF Pakistan’s regular programming and humanitarian appeals. Funding from both public and private sector donors, including UNICEF National Committees are key pillars of this strategy. Moreover, since January 2020 the PCO has also been engaging the private sector in Pakistan on a non-financial basis (Business for results – B4R) in order to mainstream the potential and relevance of business into decisions on how to achieve results for children. The launch of the UNICEF Pakistan Advisory Council (UPAC) in 2024 marked a significant milestone in private sector engagement. Comprising 17 prominent individuals from business, academia, civil society, and media, UPAC serves as a strategic platform to champion child rights and foster collaboration on key development initiatives. Under the general guidance and supervision of the Chief of Partnerships and Resource Mobilization (P-5), the position will be responsible for supporting the overall coordination, planning, development and realization of the work of the UNICEF Pakistan Advisory Council (UPAC)’s Secretariat.
