About UNICEF
If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world’s leading children’s rights organization would like to hear from you. For over 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children’s survival, protection and development. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments. UNICEF has over 12,000 staff in more than 145 countries.
Purpose of Assignment:
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated.
There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
Related to this mission, UNICEF is directly involved in addressing gender-based violence (GBV) in some of the world’s most intense and complex conflicts and disasters. GBV in its various forms constitutes a global crisis which undermines social and economic progress; as one of the world’s greatest human rights violations, GBV must be addressed to ensure universal rights and principles with regard to equality, security, liberty, integrity and dignity of human beings.
As part of its continuous efforts to improve GBV service delivery globally, UNICEF is developing, revising and disseminating key resources (guidance, associated training package and e-learning) to strengthen the service providers’ capacity to offer quality care to child survivors of sexual abuse. In partnership with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), UNICEF finalized the second version of the Caring for Child Survivors of Sexual Abuse Resource Package (CCS) and associated training package (December 2023).
The aim of the revision was to ensure learning, evidence and resources from the past 12 years were incorporated into the CCS resources, and that the guidelines and training materials were adapted for different crisis settings, including forced displacement contexts and public health emergencies. In addition, a global CCS e-learning focusing on the basic modules of the training packages (i.e. modules 0-2) was developed in close coordination with the CCS Global Network of Partners and several UNICEF Country Offices to better address training needs across multiple contexts, and to respond to the increased demand for remote and online learning.
The content of the e-learning has been translated into French, Spanish, Arabic and Ukrainian. Following priority needs expressed by several countries, technical support is now required to expand digitalization of the CCS Training Package to new Modules (Modules 3: Attitudes and Biases and Module 4: Communication with Child Survivors of Sexual Abuse) and additional languages (tentatively: Portuguese, Russian, Romanian, Burmese and/or Amharic, in addition to French, Spanish, Arabic and Ukrainian).
