UNICEF Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (ECARO) is responsible for providing strategic planning support to country offices for developing their Country Programmes (CPs), including both the Country Programme Planning Package, per the global Country Programme Guidance released in October 2022, and the Country Programme Documents (CPD). In addition, ECARO supports the operationalization of the country programmes, focusing on the development of work plans, designing purposeful results and resource frameworks, and guidance on programme and performance monitoring. Moreover, towards the end of 2024, the Regional Office will ignite the preparation of the new RO Management Plan (ROMP) for 2026-2029.
Within this context, the next 12 months are a critical period for the ECARO Programme Planning and Data (PP&D) team, as eleven + one country programmes (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, North Macedonia, Serbia, Türkiye, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan Country Offices and Kosovo (UNSCR1244) ) and a new ROMP will be developed simultaneously, translating into an evident need for substantial engagement of PP&D team. More specifically, the ECARO PP&D team will provide comprehensive support to country offices in the preparation of the deliverables as outlined in the UNICEF Country Programme Planning guidance (evidence synthesis, theories of change, results and resources plans and explanatory notes) as well as the development of the CPDs, ensuring compliance to the required structure and content. This will be complemented by preparing a set of tools and templates for country offices to use and the organization of presential CP development workshops and thematic online webinars. The PP&D team will also assume a coordinating role in the preparation process of the new ROMP.

UNICEF is here to serve the world’s most disadvantaged children and our global workforce must reflect the diversity of those children. The UNICEF family is committed to include everyone, irrespective of their race/ethnicity, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, socio-economic background, or any other personal characteristic.
We offer a wide range of measures to include a more diverse workforce, such as paid parental leave, time off for breastfeeding purposes, and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. UNICEF strongly encourages the use of flexible working arrangements.
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. UNICEF is committed to promoting the protection and safeguarding of all children. All selected candidates will 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.
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:
This is a temporary appointment (TA) for 364 days.
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.
UNICEF’s active commitment to diversity and inclusion is critical to deliver the best results for children. For this position, eligible and suitable candidates from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
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.
Mobility is a condition of international professional employment with UNICEF and an underlying premise of the international civil service.
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.
