• Building the ground for the launch of the second phase of the FX programme, which will involve the recruitment of new talent through the UNV modality in UNICEF country offices where PSFR is to be launched.
• Supporting the successful implementation and assessment of the PSFR Chief Leadership Journey, which aims to develop current PSFR Chiefs’ skills to be the next generation of leaders in the PFP ecosystem.
• Supporting PFP Regional Support Centers (RSCs) with upskilling plans for national and international staff as well as community and professional development for young talent, focusing on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the PFP ecosystem.
