For every child, the right to, Protection

How can you make a difference? 

UNICEF in collaboration with MASFAMU and UNFPA, developed a girl-to-girl program, Minha Kamba, which is being piloted in Viana and Icolo-Bengo. This girl-to-girl approach is rooted in the understanding that adolescent girls often respond positively to peer-led interventions, as they feel more comfortable and open discussing sensitive topics with their peers. By harnessing the power of peer influence and support networks, the program aims to create a safe and empowering environment where girls can freely express themselves, share experiences, and access information and resources relevant to their lives. This is supported by the development of government initiatives to keep girls in school, access learning and employment opportunities and access information and referral to services that are protective of their health and their wellbeing.
 
UNICEF is recruiting a qualified designer to develop a high-quality and engaging Logo for the Minha Kamba Program to position and promote girls' access to comprehensive information on Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and to protection.
 
Adolescents, and girls in particular, are vulnerable to early sexual debut, unprotected sexual intercourse, multiple sexual partners, and low and inconsistent contraceptive use. Adolescent girls also face an elevated risk of gender-based violence (GBV) - 10% of girls under 24 reports having experienced sexual violence - and child marriage (30% of girls under 18). These factors, combined with harmful social norms and cultural practices, gender inequities, and structural drivers such as poverty and violence, place adolescent girls at risk of early and unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (including HPV) and protection challenges.

UNICEF promotes and advocates for the protection of the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything it does and is mandated to support the realization of the rights of every child, including those most disadvantaged, and our global workforce must reflect the diversity of those children. The UNICEF family is committed to include everyone, irrespective of their race/ethnicity, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, socio-economic background, minority, or any other status.

UNICEF encourages applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of gender, nationality, religious or ethnic backgrounds, and from people with disabilities, including neurodivergence. We offer a wide range of benefits to our staff, including paid parental leave, breastfeeding breaks and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. UNICEF provides reasonable accommodation throughout the recruitment process. If you require any accommodation, please submit your request through the accessibility email button on the UNICEF Careers webpage Accessibility | UNICEF. Should you be shortlisted, please get in touch with the recruiter directly to share further details, enabling us to make the necessary arrangements in advance.

UNICEF does not hire candidates who are married to children (persons under 18). UNICEF has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UNICEF, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination based on gender, nationality, age, race, sexual orientation, religious or ethnic background or disabilities. UNICEF is committed to promote the protection and safeguarding of all children. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks, and will be expected to adhere to these standards and principles. Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check, and selected candidates with disabilities may be requested to submit supporting documentation in relation to their disability confidentially.

UNICEF appointments are subject to medical clearance.  Issuance of a visa by the host country of the duty station is required for IP positions and will be facilitated by UNICEF. Appointments may also be subject to inoculation (vaccination) requirements, including against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid). Should you be selected for a position with UNICEF, you either must be inoculated as required or receive a medical exemption from the relevant department of the UN. Otherwise, the selection will be canceled.

Remarks:  

As per Article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United Nations, the paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity.

Government employees who are considered for employment with UNICEF are normally required to resign from their government positions before taking up an assignment with UNICEF. UNICEF reserves the right to withdraw an offer of appointment, without compensation, if a visa or medical clearance is not obtained, or necessary inoculation requirements are not met, within a reasonable period for any reason. 

UNICEF does not charge a processing fee at any stage of its recruitment, selection, and hiring processes (i.e., application stage, interview stage, validation stage, or appointment and training). UNICEF will not ask for applicants' bank account information.

Humanitarian action is a cross-cutting priority within UNICEF's Strategic Plan. UNICEF is committed to stay and deliver in humanitarian contexts. Therefore, all staff, at all levels across all functional areas, can be called upon to be deployed to support humanitarian response.

All UNICEF positions are advertised, and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted and advance to the next stage of the selection process. An internal candidate performing at the level of the post in the relevant functional area, or an internal/external candidate in the corresponding Talent Group, may be selected, if suitable for the post, without assessment of other candidates.
