How can you make a difference?

Background:

In line with Ukraine’s National Recovery Plan, UNICEF in Ukraine is currently implementing a large-scale child- and youth-centered recovery programme at national and sub-national levels. The overall child- and youth centered recovery programme includes the implementation of two KfW funded projects (2023 to mid-2026) across 47 municipalities in Ukraine.

The programme includes interventions across all sectors including WASH, Health, Education and Adolescent Development, Child Protection, and Social Protection with several quantitative and qualitative programme indicators per sector and geographic location to measure the effectiveness of the programme. In addition, the recovery programme also aims to contribute to Ukraine’s national recovery agenda through implementing scalable models of decentralized service provision. In order to measure the effectiveness and scalability of these models, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks and key indicators were developed for each model.

Given the complexity of the overall M&E framework underlying the programme and the need to produce visualized data analysis for planning, monitoring and reporting purposes, UNICEF in Ukraine is seeking the services of an Information Management Consultant to support the development of key data analysis and knowledge products based on analysis and visualization of disaggregated data related to these two KfW funded programmes.

Purpose of assignment: Working under the supervision of the Programme Specialist (Recovery) and working closely with UNICEF Ukraine’s Planning, Monitoring and Reporting (PMR) section as well as Monitoring and Evaluation (ME) focal points across UNICEF sections and field offices, produce knowledge products based on data collection, analysis and visualization related to the KfW funded programme from different sources, including UNICEF’s and its partners’ Information Management Systems as per programme requirements.
