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, Evaluate.
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.
Job organizational context
The position is located within the NYHQ Evaluation Office, which serves as steward of UNICEF’s evaluation function. The Director of Evaluation reports to the Executive Director, and to the UNICEF’s Executive Board through an annual report on the evaluation function and on selected evaluations. The Evaluation Office commissions and manages independent corporate evaluations and other evaluative exercises (e.g., evaluability assessments, syntheses, reviews), usually conducted in collaboration with external consultants but sometimes embedding Evaluation Office staff in the evaluation teams. It also leads in the development and implementation of evaluation policy, strategy, and systems; oversees evaluation quality assurance processes; undertakes evaluation capacity development activities within and outside the Organization; actively promotes an enabling environment for evaluation and a strong evaluation culture; and ensures transparent access to evaluation information. The Office works closely with the Regional Evaluation Advisers in each of UNICEF’s seven regions to ensure a well-coordinated, collaborative, whole-of-organization evaluation effort and to continue to build the Organization’s community of practice. Working in a complementary manner with UNICEF’s other data, evidence and research functions, the Evaluation Office aims to deliver consistently timely, credible, and useful independent analyses that harness knowledge to help the Organization deliver results for children.
How can you make a difference?
Under the direction of the Director of Evaluation and the supervision of the Senior Evaluation Specialist, Humanitarian, the Evaluation Specialist is responsible for managing the evaluation portfolio related to humanitarian action. The Evaluation Specialist will provide technical and operational support to a series of projects (both internal to UNICEF, as well as inter-agency). The scope of work covers primarily evaluations, but may also include other exercises such as reviews, research studies, meta-analysis, and surveys, that draw on the same technical and project management skills. The Evaluation Specialist will support the Senior Evaluation Specialist, Humanitarian to commission and manage evaluations, promote follow up and use of evaluation findings and recommendations, promote the evaluation function in the organization, and manage human and financial resources. The Evaluation Specialist will also work with the Director of Evaluation and the Humanitarian Evaluation Portfolio (HEP) Team to shape the strategic direction of the portfolio, maximizing its utility as a source of both accountability and learning to UNICEF and its partners.
In accordance with UNICEF’s mission, guiding principles, standards, commitments, and accountability framework, and under United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) revised norms and standards, the Evaluation Specialist will ensure that all evaluations conducted under her/his leadership are of the highest relevance, timeliness, quality, credibility and utility possible, and that they support the organizational learning and accountability needs of UNICEF and its stakeholders in achieving results for children.
The incumbent will also contribute to cross-cutting initiatives within the Evaluation Office and the wider evaluation function within UNICEF.
