Description

Pakistan was the sixth country in the world to sign and ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child less than one year after it was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989. However, children and adolescents living in Pakistan still face acute challenges.
UNICEF supports the Government of Pakistan to accelerate progress for children, work to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and help children realize their rights under the Convention on the Rights of Children. This will be made through, among others things, strong partnerships with provincial authorities, teachers and health professionals, frontline workers and social mobilizers, communities, and families, and, of course, the children and adolescents themselves. 
In particular, UNICEF will work so that:
  • Every child survives and thrives — being in good health, immunized, protected from polio, and accessing nutritious food.
  • Every child learns.
  • Every child is protected from violence and exploitation and registered at birth.
  • Every child lives in a safe and clean environment, with access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation.
To qualify as an advocate for every child, you will have… 
  • An advanced university degree (Master’s or above)  in Medicine/ Public Health
  • A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in Public Health
  • The consultant should have a technical understanding and expertise of the complexities of Immunization program.
  • He/She should have strong interpersonal communication skills to ensure that he can advocate for the different strategies
  • Familiarity with the local context and challenges related to child protection governance.
  • Ability Fluency in English and Urdu is required. Knowledge of another official UN language (Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian or Spanish) or a local language is an asset.
