Schweiz UNICEF Vollzeit

**Job no**: 572515

**Contract type**: Internship

**Duty Station**: Geneva

**Level**: Internship

**Location**: Switzerland

**Categories**: Health, Early Childhood Development

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.

And we never give up.

**For every child, **_a champion._**

The UNICEF Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (ECARO) supports work in 22 countries, coordinating regional efforts and supporting the local efforts of Country Offices across the region. With a special commitment to meeting the unique rights of young children ECARO endeavors to support targeted and coordinated efforts to mainstream Early Childhood Development (ECD) principles in health, nutrition, education, child protection, and emergency planning and response. Furthermore, building on the robust corpus of evidence on early childhood development, UNICEF promotes implementation and scale-up of evidence-based, and effective innovations and multi-sectoral packages aimed at ensuring that all children, including the most vulnerable, reach their development potential.

Recognizing that different age groups of children, as well as children who develop differently, require specific packages of services and support, the ECARO approach to ECD is composed of four distinct and mutually inter-dependent and reinforcing pillars: a) Early Childhood Development in Health; b) Quality Early Childhood Education; c) Early Childhood Intervention and Detection of developmental disabilities and delay; and d) Parenting Support for caregivers of children aged 0-6 years old.

Within its health program, UNICEF supports strengthening of the primary health care as the key platform to delivery facility-based services as well as outreach services through home visiting programs. Quality primary health care services are crucial in providing support for child health including immunization, nutrition and development. UNICEF supports governments in the region to strengthen PHC systems as well as content and quality of services.

**SUPERVISION**

The intern will report to the Early Childhood Development Specialist working with both ECD and Health teams and will also routinely liaise with other relevant colleagues on the respective teams, in accordance with the standards, norms and procedures of UNICEF.

**How can you make a difference?**

The UNICEF ECD and Health Sections in the ECAR office are seeking the assistance of an intern to support and contribute to general and specific tasks related to programmatic activities supporting early childhood development and strengthening of primary health care services. This will include support for development of technical guidance and implementation of multi-country initiatives focused on strengthening of primary health care services and in particular home visiting as its outreach component. Additionally, tasks will also include support in knowledge management and facilitation of learning.

The key activities are listed below while in agreement with the supervisor other functions can be carried out. The incumber will therefore work with both teams on the complementary programming areas in the following capacity: 50% with the ECD section and 50% with the Health and Nutrition section.

1. Support institutionalization and strengthening of the home visiting programs and integration of support for child development at primary health care level in ECA region:
a. Support organization of regional meetings and events with UNICEF country office focal points and dissemination of relevant resources;
b. Support assessments of home visiting programs by facilitating exchange between technical consultants and country offices;
c. Engage in home visiting literature review to support development of policy briefs and investment cases;
d. Support systematic review of effectiveness of home visiting exercise by supporting exchange with consultants, technical experts and overall review process;
e. Support development, review and finalization of different documents and tools related to home visiting and support for child development within primary health care;
f. Support exchange with the Technical Advisory Group of international experts and in building partnerships with relevant experts and institutions around home visiting.

2. Support regional knowledge sharing and learning initiatives around ECD and health:
a. Support the organization of knowledge sharing and learning events to take place through UNICEF platforms to strengthen the capacities of UNICEF staff and relevant national stakeholders around early childhood development and health.
b. Support use of regional LearnECD platform by sharing key information with UNICEF country offices
c. Support documentation of UNICEF
