Job Description

Thanks to the quality of its work, UNICEF Chad has gained an increasing level of trust from a diverse group of donors and is implementing a growing number of projects. As a result, the office’s need to develop proposals has also grown over time. This is a crucial year given the launch of the new 2024-2026 Country Programme, as an extra resource mobilization effort is required to secure resources for the years to come.

Not least of these is the ongoing Sudanese refugee crisis, for which UNICEF activated a Level 2 Corporate Emergency Activation Procedure on 21 July. At the same time, new opportunities (BMZ and World Bank funding for resilience, etc.) are emerging, requiring UNICEF to be agile and responsive to avoid missing important opportunities. To respond to this context, UNICEF Chad wishes to strengthen its team with a dedicated Donor Proposals Consultant whose support can be activated on a needs basis throughout thThe objective of the consultancy is to provide support to the Partnership Unit and to the office in the development of proposals for resource mobilization.
