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, protection

Under the guidance of the Child Protection Regional Advisor and the Regional Chief of ICTD, and with technical guidance from the Primero Project Lead at HQ, the Child Protection Information Management System Deployment Specialist will be a focal point for Country Offices, partners and governments in the EAP region in the assessment, planning, implementation and support of child protection information management systems, with a focus on supporting the roll out of the Primero system.

How can you make a difference?

• improve and standardize the processes to make Primero deployments more streamlined;
• provide business analysis and technical implementation skills to understand system specifications and support the third-party software vendors in defining requirements, testing and deploying instances;
• provide input and practical recommendation on user-driven design processes for improved front-end usability;

The Child Protection Information Management System Deployment Specialist will effectively translate technical information and requirements into language that can be understood by non-technical counterparts with the goal of reducing the dependency on ICT colleagues and third-party software vendors. This will involve regular engagement with Technical Teams from CPIMS+, GBVIMS+ and MRMIMS+ as well as UNICEF ICTD, and other key stakeholders.

The Specialist will also produce monthly/regular analysis of data from participating countries, develop a fact sheet for the region on child protection information management systems/Primero, and develop a business case for child protection information management systems targeted at governments for use by Country Offices.
