How can you make a difference?
Since late 2021, UNICEF Afghanistan Country Office (ACO) has received significant funding from International Financial Institutions (IFIs), namely World Bank (WB) and Asian Development Bank (ADB). Given contextual circumstances, this scale of funding is anticipated to continue in the coming years in a challenging environment where political complexities and human rights violations will likely remain the reality. The bulk of funding received from WB and ADB has primarily been for Health and Education. However, it is an important source of funding for Nutrition, WASH in facilities, cross-cutting programmatic priorities such as Gender and PSEA as well as programme support/operations costs.
The Senior Advisor, IFI Coordination reports to the Representative for overall guidance and direction. The Senior Advisor, IFI Coordination is responsible for providing strategic direction and positioning in UNICEF Afghanistan’s engagement with IFIs and for ensuring the continued development and strengthened engagement with IFIs on a broad sector portfolio. This position also includes liaising across all sections in Afghanistan Country Office as well as with HQ and Regional Office to advise on the implementation of the IFI grants and the increased risks that come operating with IFIs. This strategy will ensure that results for children are leveraged, this new way of working with IFIs is effectively managed, and risks in partner engagement are navigated and managed successfully.
The incumbent works directly with the Representative to ensure that all engagement with IFIs is fully and effectively managed, any risks are fully mitigated and made aware to senior management and regular meetings are held across the organization to ensure full awareness and understanding of IFI programme negotiations and implementation.
