Development of a UNICEF Strategy for Engagement in Fragile, Violent and Conflict-Affected Settings, Nairobi, Kenya - remote with travel, 2 months

UNICEF is working in an increasing number of fragile, violent and conflict-affected settings where children and communities face interconnected challenges, including conflict, displacement, climate shocks, poverty, weak governance and disrupted services. These pressures are straining national and local systems and limiting their ability to protect children and deliver essential services. This consultancy will support the development of a practical UNICEF strategy for engagement in these contexts, helping define UNICEF’s comparative advantage, strengthen the resilience of systems and communities, and promote more coherent, risk-informed and child-centered programming across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. Drawing on evidence, country experience and existing UNICEF guidance, the assignment will produce a strategic framework to guide programming, advocacy, partnerships, resource mobilization and technical support in fragile and conflict-affected settings.
