Mission and objectives

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 fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. UNICEF has been mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to promote the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to increase opportunities for them to reach their full potential. UNICEF is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and strives to ensure that these rights become enduring ethical principles and international standards of conduct towards children.

Context

By mid-October 2023, 101,848 ethnic Armenians, including 30,000 children, fled to the Republic of Armenia following the escalation of hostilities in their region of origin. Affected children need to access critical health, education and protection services. Families are also in need of assistance and require urgent social protection support. UNICEF is supporting delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance, including supplies, cash, essential services and technical assistance, working with government and civil society partners to ensure appropriate services for affected children, adolescents and their families. This includes health, nutrition, child protection, education (including early learning), social protection and WASH. At the beginning of October 2023, the Armenia Country Office has launched a Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) appeal for 12 M USD to respond to the needs of the population affected by the displacement. UNICEF is implementing activities in Education, Child Protection, Social Protection, WASH, and Health and Nutrition sectors. Furthermore, UNICEF is leading the Education, Cash, and Child Protection inter-agency Working Groups to ensure effective coordination of the implementation of the Armenia Refugee Response Plan (RRP) October 2023 – March 2024. Monitoring of the implementation and reporting requires dedicated efforts to coordinate, collect, quality assure and process relevant data from implementing partners. For this purpose, UNICEF is actively seeking to hire a Humanitarian Monitoring and Information Management Officer to provide essential support in the following tasks.
