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, www.unicef.org/sudan
Sudan, surrounded by the Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Libya and South Sudan, positioned next to East, West, South and North Africa, is surrounded by complex conflicts in an unpredictable, volatile and rapidly evolving region. Sudan is by size the third biggest country in Africa, with a diverse population of around 42 million people. Sudan’s children make up half of the total population, and the past two decades have seen their lives significantly improve: fewer girls and boys are dying before their fifth birthday, primary school attendance is increasing, immunization coverage is high and the country remains polio free. Still, millions of children continue to suffer from protracted conflict in Darfur, the Kordofan’s, and Blue Nile, from seasonal natural disasters, malnutrition and disease outbreaks, and from under-investment in basic social services. More than three million of Sudan’s school aged children are not in the classroom. UNICEF has been in Sudan since 1952 and continues with a presence in 12 of Sudan’s 18 states.
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. Therefore, 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.
How can you make a difference?
Given the scale and the impact of the ongoing conflict, there are greater and urgent demands for data, information and analysis in the CP AOR. Parallel to the recent conflicts, Sudan communities are simultaneously hit with an on-going climate related events including heavy rain and floods. The humanitarian response requires high Information Management (IM) capacity with the operationalization of the inter-agency approach. The IM Specialist will support the CP AoR to make informed evidence based strategic decisions at the field level on: i) the scale/scope and coverage by the child protection partners; ii) responses to the ongoing crisis, as necessary; iii) the needs of affected populations; iv) prioritization of areas according to cluster indicators, as specified in the Flash Updates and Flash Appeal as well as the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP); v) what the key gaps in needs and response are; and vi) what capacity (human, material, financial) is required.
The Sudan-CPAoR IM Specialist will provide technical guidance to the CP AoR and UNICEF programming partners. She/he will contribute towards generating an overall emergency situation analysis and response coverage in the area of child protection. The IM Specialist will ensure consistent capacity strengthening of the CP AoR and UNICEF programming to obtain timely and accurate information about the needs, plans and crisis response.
Perform any other IM related activity as might arise.
