Context

The UN Volunteer in Data Visualisation the Country Office of Turkmenistan provides the unique opportunity to acquire direct practical experience in UNICEF’s work and the United Nations system under the direct supervision of experienced UNICEF Child Rights Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist.
UNICEF Country Office in Turkmenistan works in partnership with the Government within the framework of the programme of cooperation for 2021-2025. The ‘Governance for Children’ component is one of the four areas prioritized by UNICEF for the 2021-2025 country programme. Understanding of a strong need for such a dedicated component has crystallised during a comprehensive and participatory process of defining programmatic elements that would best respond to the country’s unresolved issues, in relation to the national child rights agenda, while at the same time matching UNICEF’s corporate strengths and comparative advantage.
Limited access to official data that are publicly available have proven to be a challenge to development planning of the Government and international development partners. In the recent years, a shift has taken place concerning readiness of the Government of Turkmenistan to cooperate with UNICEF around data sharing. The Government works towards making data more open and using data for evidence based programming. UNICEF provides extensive support to this important issue, especially in light of the SDG monitoring requirements.
