The Policy Specialist provides policy and technical assistance to develop organisational capacity for policy and intersectoral coherence, provides strategic direction and effective coordination on program-driven and evidence-based advocacy across sectors and regions. The Programme Specialist supports the Global Lead to represent UNICEF externally on migration and displacement issues and strengthens and harnesses effective strategic partnerships within the UN system and relevant interagency fora, and with public and private sector partners.
A primary function of the Policy Specialist is to support UNICEF’s strategic engagement and policy development on issues related to child-sensitive GCM and GCR implementation, including UNICEF’s work with the UN Network on Migration, alternatives to immigration detention and return and reintegration workstreams and the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund, while supporting capacity building of UNICEF HQ, Regional and Country office colleagues on these thematic areas.
On behalf of the Hub, the Policy Specialist also manages and/or supports UNICEF’s collaborative partnerships with other UN agencies through the IOM-UNICEF Collaboration Framework and the UNHCR-UNICEF Strategic Collaboration Framework, while coordinating UNICEF’s engagement in global governance frameworks on migration and displacement and implementation of related pledges (such as from the Global Refugee Forum).
The Hub manages the cross-sectoral PROSPECTS Partnership, designed to deliver nexxus programming to forcibly displaced childen and youth and their host communities. Policy change is a core component of this large programme, spanning 8 countries, 2 regions and over 10 sectoral teams within UNICEF Headquarters.
