UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfil their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up.
For every child, dedication.
The Gaza Strip faces critical challenges, with 1.7 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) undergoing multiple displacements in search of safety, disproportionately affecting children and women. Half of the population in the Strip are children. There is almost a total breakdown of basic services, including health, education, water and sanitation services. All this poses serious risk infections for children and women.
Movement in Gaza is challenging due to ongoing violence and telecommunication services widely impacted.
In response to the complex situation in the Gaza Strip and across the State of Palestine, a Senior Emergency Coordinator, D1, is needed to offer strategic direction for emergency programming, humanitarian coordination, and advocacy with donors and stakeholders. The coordinator will effectively engage within the UN and humanitarian system and represent UNICEF in Gaza-based humanitarian forums.
Leading the UNICEF operation in the Gaza Strip, the Senior Emergency Coordinator supervises the Chief of Field Office and Cluster/AoR Coordinators (Nutrition, WASH, Child Protection, and Education). S/he ensures strategic oversight for emergency preparedness and response, contributing to the formulation and management of the UNICEF Area Programme of Cooperation. Her/his Accountability extends to advocating for humanitarian response efforts toward the survival, protection, development, and participation of children and women in national development efforts.
The Senior Emergency Coordinator provides policy support, guidance and advocacy on the development and establishment of common services arrangements agreed to by participating organizations/agencies in the Gaza Strip. To ensure that these joint operational arrangements assist UNICEF in its objective to provide efficient and economical support services to the implementation of the country programme. S/he provides policy support, guidance and advocacy as required in emergency situations and for principled humanitarian action and programme implementation.
