UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child support 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.

* This post is for a National Officer therefore it is available only for nationals of Guatemala** UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up! For every child education. The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child everywhere in everything the organization does — in programmes 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.

Purpose Of Activity/Assignment The Iraq United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for the period 2020-2024 was established to address the developmental challenges identified within the country. This framework serves as the basis for collaboration and partnership between the Government of Iraq and the United Nations Country Team (UNCT). United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Iraq consists of 23 UN agencies funds and programs led by the UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator who is the designated representative of the UN Secretary-General for development operations in Iraq. All these entities joined efforts and bring their varied comparative advantages to deliver the UNSDCF as One UN and in the last 3 years (2020-2022) have expended USD 1199266960 to implement the UNSDCF out of the proposed USD 2742507096 resources required which amount to 43.7 % of the resources. The 2020-2024 UNSDCF which was signed in 2021 is a comprehensive document produced by the United Nations System in Iraq. It is characterized by various elements including the application of the Standard Operating Procedure for UN coherence a strong focus on partnerships the alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as its fundamental basis and the participatory approach taken during its formulation involving the Iraqi Government and key stakeholders.

Scope Of Work Purpose and Objectives of the Final Evaluation The CF Evaluation Has Two Primary Purposes * Promote greater learning and programmatic improvement. The evaluation will provide important information for decision-making towards strengthening programming and results at the country level. Specifically it will capture lessons learned and make recommendations that will inform the development of the next CF program cycle. The UNCT host government and other CF stakeholders will also learn from the evaluation. * Support greater accountability of the UNCT to CF stakeholders. By objectively providing evidence of results achieved within the framework of the CF and assessing the effectiveness of the strategies and interventions used the evaluation will enable the various stakeholders in the CF process including national counterparts and donors to hold the UNCT and other parties accountable for fulfilling their roles and commitments. The Objectives Of The Evaluation Are To * Assess the contribution of the CF to national development results through evidence-based assessment using evaluation criteria. * Identify and explain operational factors and bottlenecks that could have affected the CF’s contribution and why the performance is as it is. * Provide actionable recommendations for improving the CF's contribution especially for incorporation into the new CF programming cycle.
