We Do This By UNICEF's Office of Innovation creates opportunities for the world's children by focusing on where new markets can meet their vital needs. * Connecting youth communities (or more broadly -- anyone disconnected or under-served) to decision-makers and to each other to deliver informed relevant and sustained programmes that build better stronger futures for children. * Provoking change for children through an entrepreneurial approach -- in a traditionally risk averse field -- to harness rapidly moving innovations and apply them to serve the needs of all children. * Creating new models of partnership that leverage core business values across the public private and academic sectors to deliver fast and lasting results for children. The Office of Innovation specifically looks to form partnerships around frontier technologies (like drones and UAVs blockchain 21st century skills urban technologies new banking tools wearables and sensors or 3D-Printing) that exist at the intersection of $100 billion business markets and 1 billion person needs – and to identify how they can grow and scale profitably and inclusively. Our team With Our Partners We Focus On Convening And Collaborating On New And Different Solutions Low- And High-tech By We're an interdisciplinary team around the world tasked with identifying prototyping and scaling new technologies and practices. * Looking at the 2–5-year horizon to evaluate emerging and trending technologies and to see how UNICEF can work with the private sector on doing better business while improving essential services for children. * Investing in early-stage solutions that show great potential to positively impact children in the 02-year future including the Venture Fund that invests in open-source technology solutions from start-ups based in UNICEF’s programme countries; * Identifying proven solutions that can be implemented at national scale in multiple countries – taking the ideas that help thousands in one country bringing them to dozens of countries across multiple sectors and impacting the lives of millions of children.” How can you make a difference? The UNICEF Venture Fund has been specifically designed to finance early stage open-source technology that can benefit children.

Job Description Hiring Office: SRH/HIV Section Purpose Of Consultancy The purpose of this consultancy is to review the implementation of the UNFPA HIV prevention framework and guide in strengthening prevention leadership ESA is a home to less than 8 per cent of the world’s population but accounts for slightly over half of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the world and about 38 percent of new HIV infections. [1] UNAIDS estimated 39 million PLHIV globally in 2022 20.8 million of these in the ESA region; and 500000 new HIV infections out of a global total of 1.3 million occurred in ESA. Trends in HIV prevalence and new infections in ESA differ variously and continually across countries geographical locales and population groups with some countries more severely affected. The epidemic in ESA remains numerically huge with 17 out of the 28 countries contributing most new infections by the end of 2021 in ESA and seven countries [2] with adult HIV prevalence of over 10 per cent two of them above 20 per cent. This underscores the importance of scaled and effective HIV prevention programming as a prerequisite to ESA’s achievement of global 2025 and 2030 HIV prevention elimination targets. UNFPA the UN lead agency on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) has a special role to play in ending new HIV infections and reducing sexually transmitted infection (STIs. According to the UNAIDS 2018 division of labour (DoL) [3]  UNFPA is assigned a co-leading role on three pillars namely HIV prevention among young people HIV prevention among key populations and decentralization and integration of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and HIV services. UNFPA and UNAIDS co-chair the global HIV Prevention Coalition (GPC) that defines the global framework for delivery and oversight of HIV prevention programmes particularly in 34 highly affected countries 17 of these in the ESA region. The GPC 2025 HIV Prevention Roadmap prioritizes five pillars UNFPA leads on three on: addressing HIV among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) protecting sexual health for key populations (KPs) and strengthening condom programming. UNFPA also plays key role on the pillar on HIV prevention among adolescent boys and young men (ABYM). In addition the UNAIDS DoL assigns UNFPA a participation role in a range [4] of areas that avail synergies with the broader UNFPA SRHR mandate including elimination of mother to child transmission (MTCT) of HIV and addressing gender-based violence (GBV) UNFPA HIV mandate is embedded in the intention of the Global UNFPA Strategy 2022–2025 to accelerate the achievement of the ICPD Programme of Action and to achieve universal access to SRHR focused on the three transformative results (TRs) by 2030. Cognizant that ESA is the global epicentre of the HIV epidemic UNFPA ESA adds ending sexual transmission of HIV as a regional priority acknowledging its pervasive impacts that particularly constrain achievement of the 3TRs if not given due attention. To this end UNFPA ESA detailed a framework (A decade for business unusual: UNFPA Framework to prevent sexual transmission of HIV in East and Southern Africa 2021-2030) elaborating the path to ending new infections and UNFPA contribution. ESA countries are likely to miss the 2025 Global HIV Prevention targets unless evidence-based combination prevention is scaled up. UNFPA has a critical role to play in influencing the trajectory new infections in the region. The starting point will include assessing progress in implementing the prevention framework in the region and further guiding on the strategic priorities for 2024. Scope of work (Description of services activities or outputs) The SRH/HIV Consultant will be responsible for four interrelated deliverables: i)Undertake a rapid assessment on progress of implementation of the UNFPA ESARO HIV regional framework at country and regional level. This will include assessing leadership action in the context of division UNAIDS division of labor and the GPC roadmap level of effort in integrating SRH/HIV CO leadership/engagement in critical HIV/SRH platforms implementation of the 10 priorities of regional framework as well as levels of human and financial investments in HIV prevention ii)Compile Regional and Country HIV brief profiles including defining UNFPA specific/key indicators on SRH/HIV generating country infographic snapshots and making recommendations for expanded action iii) Conduct rapid assessments in the countries of Malawi Mozambique Uganda and Zambia on comprehensive condom programming indicators (stewardship including focus on TMA and programming tracking and analytics Last Mile Distribution demand creation) and generate country CCP profiles against the Global Fund Condom Stewardship Strategic Initiative results framework as well as highlighting promising practices in each country. iv) Provide technical backstopping on regional HIV prevention and SRH/HIV integration at Regional Office.
