Senior Health Specialist – Implementation Research, PHC-HSS (P5), FT, PG – Health (MNCAH)

For every child, Health
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. Therefore 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.
How can you make a difference?
Under the overall direction of the Sr. Health Advisor, PHC-HSS unit the incumbent is responsible for coordination, planning, management, and evaluation of implementation research to produce data and evidence to influence policy towards achievement of the health-related SDGs focused on strengthening Primary Health Care.

Coordinates preparations for funding proposals related to implementation research, monitors the overall planning and disbursement of implementation research funds, and monitors utilization of funds.
Prepares and submits timely progress/status reports for management, board, donors, budget reviews, programme monitoring and evaluation, annual reports, etc.

Makes decisions on implementation research projects, capacity, and international collaborations. These decisions will affect the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the programme policy and evidence.

Recommendations include contributions to policy development, programme design and other technical and organisational advice. Recommendations are also made on programme/project activity feasibility and implementation, linkages with other aspects of UNICEF intervention, reprogramming and rescheduling of activities, and external technical assistance and requirements. These recommendations impact directly on the effectiveness of UNICEF’s programmes and the image of the organization.

To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have…

An advanced university degree (Master’s or higher) in Public Health, epidemiology, infectious disease, maternal and child health, health promotion or any other related field and a Medical Degree (MD) is required.
